The patient has:
mandibular aveolar ridge squamous cell carcinoma.....
she would be a candidate for brachytherapy through radiation seeds or acolenic catheter.
I am unsure if this is a type of catheter or possibly a cancer treatment med received through a catheter.
Any help would be appreciated ---Stumped!!

Type of catheter
Subject: Type of catheter
I wonder if the physician is referring more to the shape of the catheter and not a type of catheter. Conch means shell shaped. If that is true, then you are correct in typing "conch catheter".

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN. Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading. Hope that helps!

name of catheter
Subject: name of catheter
I have an ESL doing an OB/GYN procedure (a hysteroscopy, to be more specific) and she inserts a catheter into the bladder to drain it. I think she's saying red_____catheter, and the first thing that comes to my mind is 'red Robinson' or maybe even 'red rubber.' I looked at the last report that I left this blank in, and the QA put in red Robinul catheter. I do not believe there is such a thing. Maybe she just attempted to use one of her shortcuts, and the wrong one filled in without her realizing it, or she was sleep typing. Who knows! Robinul is a med, and there is no such catheter, is there? I sure can't document one in my reference books or with Google searches.
name of catheter
Subject: name of catheter
I agree, I've heard red rubber catheter many times too. I was just going back and listening to the blanks to see if I could figure any of them out on a second pass, and it definitely does sound like Robinul or a word ending in that type of sound, but she's getting a blank from me on this one. Maybe a different QA will proof it, and I can see what it really should be.
Thank you all!
Maybe PAC catheter??...
Subject: Maybe PAC catheter??...
as in abbreviated port-a-cath?? Not sure on that one. Then--"catheter was sutured using a Witzel tunnel suture to prevent rotation or volvulus" (twisting of the bowel). Would make sense with Witzer tunnel procedure and if the cath site is in the abdomen (especially for chemotherapy).
