Subject: thoracentesis

A 10-cm, s/l "forearm area" was prepped with chlorhexidine and draped in the usual sterile fashion. The fourth intercostal space was identified and a syringe, with a needle and 1% lidocaine with epi, was used to anesthetize the skin, subcutaneous tissue, periosteum and pleura. Would this be correct-- maybe the forearm was prepped for IV, but this was not stated.

I looked this up in Taber's. Under pleurocentesis, it does not give a definition and only says thoracentesis. Under thoracentesis, pleurocentesis is given as a  synonem. Hope this helps.

Subject: ES Injections, diagnostic/therapeutic indicating a number

Anyone familiar with how to indicate diagnostic or therapeutic injections by a number?  Doc says therapeutic injection number 1, of course some are diagnostic injection # x.  Should that go in a separate heading, or just as part of procedure description sentence?  Have no samples from this practice to go by.  Thanks for any info.
