Caesarean section
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Caesarian section)
Jump to: navigation, search
A caesarean section (AE cesarean section), or c-section, is a form of childbirth in which a surgical incision is made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus (hysterotomy) to deliver one or more babies. It is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life at risk, although in the last decade it has been performed upon request.

I had QA send back a note changing paraesthesias to paresthesias.  I thought both were acceptable.  I have typed it with an 'a' for years.  (like orthopedic versus orthopaedic) I have never had any doctor tell me he/she prefers it without the 'a.'  Thanks.

Substituting blood pressure with BP when it is dictated as "blood pressure" is not acceptable.  That would be considered an error. Why would you use an acronym when it is not dictated as one?  Every extra character helps.

Isn't g an acceptable abbreviation for gram?
Subject: Isn't g an acceptable abbreviation for gram?

I had QA correct this:
