Echo report: ACS measurement

in giving a measurement for left atrial volume index, author says "50 cc per meter squared." How would that be correctly transcribed considering we are not to use cc, but rather mL, and we are not to use exponents? ...

Thus far I have only had doctors refer to the JVD as flat or raised or sometimes at zero. Tonight, this doc says "JVD is 0 to 9 degrees/90 degrees" [I think]. I have found a site that describes JVD measurements, and one of them is 90 degrees--but there is no "zero to" part. Now I am second guessing my thought about it being 0 to 90 degrees. This doc is very sweet, but really mumbles the ends of his sentences. Anyone know about the JVD?? ...

Under the musculoskeletal portion of the physical exam, it is dictated, "Crepitus of the bilateral knees. No ankle tenderness or swelling. No MTP tenderness. Last (s/l Sjogren's) was 14.5 cm." I'm unsure what she would be measuring here. Also, I'm still wondering if anyone has any idea about this one, "MRI – mild. SI/degenerative arthritis. Imaging of the hands – small effusion of the carpals and (s/l peroneal) tendinopathy." & ...

The doctor dictates: two-tenths of a cc of 4 mg/cc dexamethasone How would this be correctly typed? He always uses cc as a measurement. It is the two-tenths of a cc that I am concerned about. Thanks so much! ...

swallowed the TE probe through the _______ block??? (sounds almost like valve or bio???) ...

For those who work with echo dictation - from what I understand, it's useful for straight transcribing, but does it work in VR? I'm thinking of investing in it, but can't understand how it would be useful in a VR program, which is where everything will be in just a few years. I would think it wouldn't work in a non-Word program since you can't cut and paste, and even if it did, you'd be editing twice. Thanks for any info! ...

This is a technically fair study. The left ventricle was normal within its end-diastolic dimension??? ...

Heard anything, good or bad? Thanks. ...

that we have to key in all this information from the work sheet into the report? I hate these things. It takes forever to get through them, and please don't let me make a mistake because then I'm having to scrutinize the thing to make sure I'm back on target with the right number. A lot of time being spent on a job that took only minutes to type. I had to vent about it to somebody and wondering if anybody else feels the same way about them. ...

In the measurements section - s/l peak to mean systolic variant 12/8 mmHg ...

The aortic valve is sclerotic, but s/l opens without restriction. does this make sense? ...

I've tried to use the search function, but either it's not working properly or I'm not doing something right (I suspect it's not working right now). I work for a company with a Web-based transcription platform (straight typing). What I want to try to do to improve my productivity is to buy Dragon Naturally Speaking, load it onto my computer, echo dictate (redictate) what my docs are saying, and then cut and paste the software's output into the platform windo ...

Ok, moving ahead with my plan to up my productivity by doing echo dictation,redictate the reports and up my straight typing speed using voice recognition software. Looking at the new Dragon 11.5 for 145.99 on Amazon. Want to know if this will do the trick or if must I bite the bullet and get the Dragon Medical (with the 30,000 word medical dictionary) which I am sure is MUCH pricier. Wanna get started on this ASAP, and can have the product from Amazon in a couple of days. Suggest ...

I had posted previously to the tech board and it was suggested to post here instead. Am wanting to up my production, increase my lph in order to increase my pay since my cpl rate has gone down. Was thinking about using Dragon to do "echo dictation" but the cost for Dragon medical is prohibitive. Would like to know what other methods are available to increase production and people's experience with using word expanders such as InstantText or something else. I have gotta do something in order ...
