Renal expert?? Dialysis term could be CBA, CTA, or something else - starstruck

Posted: Oct 23, 2009

Does anyone know what term this might be regarding dialysis? I just can't hear what letters he's saying, though I'm pretty sure the first one is "C." I have googled both CBA and CTA and have only gotten those Elsevier articles which I don't have access to. Any renal experts out there??

What's the sentence? sm - Weslee

There is CVVH - continuous venovenous hemofiltration.

Renal term - starstruck

"As the patient was complaining of pain during _____, patient was given morphine, so now the patient is drowsy." This patient also has gross hematuria. Don't know if that's significant or not.

computed tomographic angiography (CTA) ?? - sm

Could it be computed tomographic angiography (CTA)

"Computed Tomographic Angiography - A New Technique for Evaluation of Vascular Access in Hemodialysis Patients"

ooh, that sounds good! (and I usually only say that about food!) - starstruck

This is a brand new doc out of school, so I'm thinking your suggestion of computed tomographic angiography might be it since even the title of the article indicates that it's new. Also, this might be more invasive, hence the pain the patient was having. I'm going to google a bit more and see. Thanks so much for taking the time to help!

YW - much of the time I also learn something new so always happy - to help n/m

mmm. I don't think pain on CTA is reasonable...sm - elaine

CTA is a form of diagnostic imaging, and nothing that would require pain necessitating morphine.

Also, CT imaging is entirely noninvasive.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but I don't think CT angiography is reasonable here.

It's a little late, but I saw these and wondered if any of them might be the term you were looking for?

I have an ESL doctor who's dictating dialysis bath solutions. (I've never done these before). He says 2 K, which I found no problem, but when I sent it to QA for some other blanks, it was corrected to 2 potassium. Account info says to use abbreviations when dictated, even in the diagnosis/impression/assessment portions. Is K the preferred transcription, or should I expand it? Our QA is known to change correct transcription to incorrect. Don't ...

Several years ago, Book of Style made the recommendation to drop the possessive form for names of tests, diseases, etc. - i.e., Alzheimer's disease is now Alzheimer disease BUT is Alzheimer's when standing alone, i.e., I have Alzheimer's (disease implied but not written) and most facilities have since adopted this practice.
