Subject: D5 half-normal saline is correct - I think BOS
it's one bag of dextrose and half-normal saline - 1 bag. They always say D5 half-normal saline. In 30 years, I never heard them say *D5 in half-normal saline*.....I have heard D5 and half-normal saline though.
BOS, while I respect it and use it all the time, is not the end-all, be-all on many subjects and there are errors AND inconsistencies throughout the BOS.

Subject: Afrin is correct, nasal saline is not capitalized. sm
Rebecca, has anyone told you yet about a great website for looking up drugs? www.rxlist.com You can use wildcards there. For instance, you heard the Af correctly. To find the rest you would do Af* and a selection would pop up from which to choose. If you only heard the second part of the term well you would do (for example) *frin.

This sounds more like statistical analysis to me than actual cardiac-related terminology.
I'd start by looking into E x U' or something.
I did stat analysis coursework in college, and the word prime is often represented by an apostrophe. Because there could be data represented by U, and then U' is some derivation of that data. If my fuzzy memory serves me properly, anyway!
I may be WAAAAAY off base here, but that's the first thing I see in this. I hope it helps a little.
