ultra-sound guided thoracentesis was performed in the clinic with the removal of 1.6 liters of serosanguineous pleural fluid. The fluid appears to be "ex hit a tive" with an LDH of 589, protein of 3.6, pH of 7.8, and glucose of 79. The pleural fluid cytology is pending at the time of dictation.

term most often used with laparoscopic procedures. I found several sites mentioning an intraumbilical incision. Here is an excerpt from a sample report from another MT site:
OPERATIVE PROCEDURE: LAPAROSCOPIC BLADDER NECK SUSPENSION
Trocar placement may vary according to the preference of the surgeon. Usually, a 10-mm trocar is placed through an intraumbilical incision and another 10-mm trocar is placed suprapubically, followed by two 5-mm trocars placed laterally. Laparoscopes with different viewing angles are available. The selection of a straight or angled optic is the surgeon's personal choice. We prefer the straight, forward optic.

use of bilateral with pleural forms
Subject: use of bilateral with pleural forms
That's always ben a puzzle to me too, but I think that either way might be acceptable. The qualifying adjective (bilateral) suggests an "augmentation" was performed on both sides, and more often than not, MDs will dictate singular nouns following bilateral. Sometimes, though, if it sounds strange, I will use the pleural, i.e., one of my docs says "bilateral lower extremity" which I change to extremities. Would be interested in further input or if AAMT has a directive on this.

Evidence of old TBC. I'm thinking he means tuberculosis. Is that right. Also under discharge medications he has Rifamate, Theo-Dur and it sounds like he's saying prinsom or primson and taper down over two weeks. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch.
