On the lung exam, the physician is saying "E to A" changes.  The company I work for does not want any abbreviations.  What would be the best way to transcribe this?   

sounds like:

Lungs are clear. No wheezing. (S/L) Yulit squeeze.

any ideas???

Thanks.

LUNGS: There are few s/l hypertations____ in the right base.

Thanks,

On a lung exam it sounds like he is saying no son or soncar basal rales???

There is diminished air movement air movement in all fields, but no clear s/l epintious sounds heard.

Hi.  Doctor is saying what sounds lke:  Lung are clerr "ABCs" with some faint wheezes.  Is that rght? The only remotely similar thing I can find in my acronym book os the CPR ABCs   - airway,breathing & ciculation.  Any help would be greatly appreciaaed.  Thank you!

That's it!  That's it!  Good grief.  Where is my brain today?

Thank you very very much.  You're a genius!  

2-3-day history of a pelvic pain along her bladder area. This pain is described as a constant crampy pressure pain, tender to touch, and is associated with urinary urgency and frequency. She denies any S/C/N/V/D/C.

New doctor for me. She likes to use a lot of abbreviations. Not sure what S/C/N/V/D/C is.

Also, doctor uses "MRC CUA" under plan. It is just by itself. Any clues?????

Is one form correct over another when abbreviating the measurement 'microgram?'  I know I've seen it abbreviated as mcg, but in my chemistry background, we always used the symbol that looks like a funny letter 'u.'  I can type that symbol in Word, but I'm not sure if it's necessary or preferred.  This is the first time I've had the term 'microgram' dictated. 

Side note, do you use upper or lower case 'L' to represent a liter?  I've seen both used. 

would have used the "B" - mainly because you just don't often see the term "beta" strep used - you always see "group B strep," so I think that's why they changed it.

When transcribing results of arterial blood gas tests, which abbreviation is correct:  PAO2 or PaO2?  Each of these has different meanings, according to the website I use for acronyms/abbreviations.  Actually, I have always typed PAO2, don't know if this is correct, and have never heard otherwise.

n/m

Do you abbreviate mg, ml, 02 etc if the account instructions say to spell out abbreviations as per book of style? 

Have ordered book, not here yet.  Thanks in advance for help.

Please let me  know if I have anything wrong.  Thank you so very much!

MODALITIES:  Transfers are minimum assist.  Balance trunk is

assist with TIF.  Maximum assist with bed mobilities.  Progress

Oops!  I meant, in the discharge summary under the hospital course heading must we expand dictated abbreviations as we would under the impression or diagnosis?  Or is it acceptable to leave them verbatim.

Thanks!!!!!!
