dilated, dilation and curettage, dilation of the bladder, dilation of the cervical os, etc. Dilatation is the state of being dilated after dilation takes place. I see that they are used interchangeably these days, but this is how I learned to differentiate between the 2 many years ago. An example of the proper way to use dilatation would be, the small bowel obstruction resulted in dilatation of the proximal small bowel. Most times, dilation is what you are looking for.
arrested at 9 cm dilation?
Subject: arrested at 9 cm dilation?
Has anyone heard of that. She says "a" a lot thoughout her dictations, so she just meant "rested at 9 cm dilation?" That seems to make more sense. I couldn't find anything on "arrested" but wanted to make sure.

I did discuss with her briefly the possibility of DMSO instillations as well as “BETTER STATIC DILATIONS of the bladder.

Subject: Dilation versus Dilatations?

lateral ventricle, the doctor states I believe. But, this does not make sense to me. However, I am feeling rather stupid today so am probably wrong. Anyone know if extraocular dilation makes sense? It is not extraaxial I am fairly certain after listening to him 100 times.

Subject: try this again...s/l fearson or vearson instillations and urethral dilatation
I was offered the suggestion of filiforms or versed earlier today, and neither of those work. This patient receives these instillations every three months. I'm think along the lines of BCG instillations, but that is definitely not what the doc says. No mention of the patient's diagnosis to help

If a doc dictates hemoblobin A1C, is it not correct to use HbA1c? Should it actually be written out? Also if "blood pressure" is dictated, is BP not acceptable?
I know the account probably has different specifics that I was not made aware of but I am just pulling my hair out now.
Thanks.
