Pulse -- Permanent or per minute?

I've been dealing with ESL dictators and I can't decide if they're saying in the PE that "pulse is 79, permanent" or pulse 79 per minute" Any idea on which is more common? Thanks.

She required a micro round-per-minute of Dopamine to maintain her pressure. Do I have the hyphens correct in round-per-minute? There wouldn't be a hyphen between micro and round would there? Hyphens really get me :(
Thanks.
5. 15 liters of oxygen per minute?
Subject: 5. 15 liters of oxygen per minute?
I have replayed this multiple times and could swear the RN is saying the patient received 5.15 liters per minute of oxygen but that does not seem reasonable to me. The patient is in ICU for pulmonary hemorrhage and was desatting below 80. Feedback anyone?

... and I gave the patient 50 "mikes" of whatever medication. One said to spell it m-i-q-u-e-s, one said to use m-i-k-e-s, and one hospital said not to use it at all. So, does it stand for micrograms? Should we use slang? Aghh! Help, please.

Subject: Exactly the way MD dictates it
If the patient could see anything at all (I had one today where the patient could see 20/1760), then the MD would have given the value, but when there is nothing there, you just type nothing. I have a verbatim account, but even if I didn't, I still would not change it to 20/0 as that lone "0" could be mistaken as something else.

Subject: I have a psychiatrist who dictates like that. sm
I leave most of his stuff as is even though the account is not verbatim. A lot of times I end up wondering WTH he is talking about. When I first got his dictations I was going back to read and relisten because I thought I must have scrambled something. Give them what they dictate, if they don't like what they read maybe they'll take the time to think before they dictate next time.
