rapid advance system
Subject: rapid advance system
I'm transcribing an op note for a biventricular defibrillator implantation dictated by an ESL. If I'm understanding him correctly, he says, "A rapid advance system was utilized to cannulate the coronary sinus."
I've checked my references and googled to see if this rapid advance system is a brand name and can't seem to locate it. Is anyone familiar with it?

adding a followup "thank you" post for every single question just clutters up the board, really. I'm much more appreciative of a /well-formulated/ question that gives enough context for some to be /able/ to help and, in particular, one that demonstrates the questioner has at least tried to research it. ;-)

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN. Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading. Hope that helps!
