A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
I know I will be asking many questions in the coming weeks since I am going to be taking a more active approach to studying for the second part of my final. Can anybody please tell me where I can go to get more info on OB reports online? Some of the stuff that the doctor dictates is so hard to figure out since I am not familiar with the OB terminology at all. For example..here is the physical exam section of the report (keep in mind I have flagged certain sections). Here it is:
Abdomen: Soft and gravid, slight tenderness to palpation in the suprapubic region. Extremities: Slight peripheral edema. DTRs +2. Cervix: Dilated to 1 cm thick. Mid position is soft. Presenting part ballotable. Bishop score: 4. (Bratlav) exam: Negative. HSB cultures done. Realtime ultrasound revealed (A05) 13.9. (SM) (revealed weight) 2889 grams.
I am having trouble coming up with what "Bratlav" exam is.. or the rest of the paragraph after it. Please help. i really want to get ready for the transcription portion a second time around of the final so that I finally pass and get on with life. Thanks ladies.
