During the course of an aortogram, AAA repair and bifurcation graft, he exchanged 0.025 glide wires with 0.035 s/l "Mire" wires, removed the sheath and inserted the bifurcation graft. Mylar maybe (?) but was not able to verify. After deploying the graft, he passed a s/l "AquaTempo" 5-French catheter. I may have a few more of these gems before the report is finished. He is naming every single brand of all the obscure pieces of equipment he can lay his hands on.

SMA-7=sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate (or CO2), glucose, BUN, creatinine. Glucose and bicarbonate are your missing values; 30 is a normal value for CO2...so my guess is they're saying "CO2 30" and leaving out the glucose value....

Subject: Each vertebra has 2 transverse processes and 1 spinous process.

So, depending on what the doc says, the spinous process of C5 would be correct. Also, the spinous processes of the cervical spine would be a correct statement. Spinous process of the cervical spine would be incorrect as there are 7 cervical vertebral bodies with 3 processes each.
