anterior mediastinum

Anterior mediastinum, the narrow region between the pericardium and the sternum containing the thymus or its remnants, some lymph nodes and vessels and branches of the internal thoracic artery.

If you buy some good dictionaries, you won't need BOS. 

Get yourself a good medical dictionary and look up Chlamydia/chlamydia

The first thing you should learn is HOW to ask a question.  You can't just jump in with one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and cry for help.  You need to give some example of what you are looking for.  People on this board do not mind helping you or they would not be here, but a little more information on your part would help us help you.  Medical transcription is more than just one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and most times it is necessary to give some indication of what is wrong with the patient or a diagnosis in order to get an answer. 

Renal ultrasound was requested in addition to laboratory studies, a BMP, C3, C4, ANKA anti GBN, Cria gobulance, hepatitis B, C, and HIV.  A urine REM and urine protein electrophoresis was also requested. 

These are my sound likes.  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dorland's Medical Dictionary: 

Pexis: 

1.  Fixation of matter by a tissue. 

2.  Surgical fixation, usually by suture. 

Therefore pexed would be past tense, as in was pexed (or fixed).

On 07/11/2005, the patient underwent (1) exploratory laparotomy with biopsy, (2) cholecystectomy, (3) placement of subcutaneous pain pump, (4) central line placement and (5) celiac block.

I am not sure about this statement during a pulse oximetry reading, but elsewhere they will usually say "per physician reading, per ER physician/doctor reading" etc., or it could be "per pulse oximeter reading or per pulse oximeter."

Here is an excerpt from the website listed below (a long address ): 

Intervention: Diagnostic transnasal-transpharyngeal videoendoscopy of the eustachian tube with 30- and 70-degree rigid Hopkins rod endoscopes, 2.5- and 0.8-mm, 0-degree flexible fiber endoscopes performed under local anesthesia in 12 eustachian tubes.

This is a pulmonary account.  It sounds like she needed to use the "VAS??" every two hours.

Then again under plan "increase use of vest/VAS??"  It definitely is related to pulmonary.

thanks so much

Plus, the word "insure" should be "ensure"

O’Leary uterine artery ligation

. This has been used in cases of bleeding during Caesarean sections (n=265 over 30 years (27)). Sutures including 2-3 cm of myometrium are placed 2-3 cm below the uterine incision.

The uterus is grasped by the assistant and elevated upwards and to the opposite side of the uterine artery which will be ligated to expose the vessels coarse through the broad ligament.

- A large atraumatic needle with no. 1 chromic cutgut, O-vicryl or O-Dexon is passed through and into the myometrium from anterior to posterior 2-3 cm medial to the uterine vessels.

- The needle is brought forward through avascular area in the broad ligament lateral to the uterine artery and vein. The suture is tied anteriorly.

- In case of caesarean section, the sutures are placed 2-3 cm below the level of uterine incision under the reflected peritoneal flap which should be displaced downwards with the bladder to avoid ligation of the ureters.

- If caesarean section was not done, peritoneal incision is not indicated and bladder can be simply pushed downwards.

- Uterine artery ligation is haemostatic by reducing the pulse pressure to the uterus as 90% of its blood supply is from the uterine vessels.

- Collateral circulation and recanalization of the uterine vessels will be established within 6-8 weeks.

 It has a success rate of 95%

I don't know what your word may be other than what the other poster already suggested.  But I am in one of those moods today, and when I saw the subject of your post I got a vision in my head that made me laugh.  So, just wanted to say thanks for making me laugh on a day that has been filled with stress.

EKG documented a rate of 70, normal sinus rhythm, -2 degree axis, and no acute ST or T-wave changes. 

Should I type minus 2 degree, -2 degree?  Thanks.
