Subject: Pulse -- Permanent or per minute?
I've been dealing with ESL dictators and I can't decide if they're saying in the PE that "pulse is 79, permanent" or pulse 79 per minute" Any idea on which is more common? Thanks.

She required a micro round-per-minute of Dopamine to maintain her pressure. Do I have the hyphens correct in round-per-minute? There wouldn't be a hyphen between micro and round would there? Hyphens really get me :(
Thanks.

Subject: 5. 15 liters of oxygen per minute?
I have replayed this multiple times and could swear the RN is saying the patient received 5.15 liters per minute of oxygen but that does not seem reasonable to me. The patient is in ICU for pulmonary hemorrhage and was desatting below 80. Feedback anyone?

I think she is referring to oximetry and may be abbreviating? Sounds like either pulse ox or post ox? States "will check pulse ox on rest and with activity". Does pulse ox make sense?
