Extremities - no CVA or CVP?
Subject: Extremities - no CVA or CVP?
Has anyone ever heard of either of these terms dictated under the "extremities" section of a physical exam? I can understand "no CVA" in a way because of the patient ever had a stroke then their extremities might be effected (although I would think this would go under the neuro section). Its the CVP that I'm not getting. I've checked my abbreviation references and I can't find anything this would refer to.
BTW, I left this blank. The QA department filled the blank with No CVA or CVP. I'm curious more than anything. Am I missing something here?
