PROCEDURE NOTE:  The patient was prepped in sterile fashion with Betadine.  He was given 1 cc of 2% Lidocaine without epinephrine for anesthesia.  A sterile glove and prep was used throughout.  He did have a #11 blade incise approximately ½ inch wound with a large amount of pus.  This was drained and loculations were also broken up and drained.  He tolerated the procedure well without complication.  He was packed with approximately 4 cm of Iodoform gauze, which is ½ inch.  He tolerated this well.  Sterile dressing as well as KLING was placed on this.  He was advised to strictly keep this dry until tomorrow when he is reevaluated.

Use more words in your search. Back up and ask yourself the same questions you need to think about when posting a question:
What kind of procedure am I transcribing. Ah, a hip replacement. Using technical terms instead of "general public" terms usually yields results with higher levels of the technical terms you're looking for. So if it's an arthroplasty, use that in your search, etc.
