All I can think of/document would be "flow rate" heart failure.....sm
Subject: All I can think of/document would be "flow rate" heart failure.....sm

if you think about it, when a patient is severely hypotensive, obviously the flow rate of the blood and return to the heart would be very slow, because of low pressure, and subsequently caused by low pressure; if you listen and it sounds like this, it physiologically would make sense, although I have not come across the exact phrase yet, they always throw new ones at ya!! Hope this is of some help!

Hi Shirl -

Hang in there, this will be old hat to you after a while. Radiology reports are usually pretty standard. Same phrases/terms used by all radiologists.

Some usual headings in a radiology report are:

CLINICAL INDICATION: or INFORMATION: or HISTORY, or variations of any of these.

FINDINGS: or RESULTS:

IMPRESSION: or OPINION:

Start adding the common phrases, like "lung markings" and all the various possible headers as above, to whatever word expander program you have. You'll be flying through reports in no time!
