abdominal surgery word/technique - HELP!!
Posted: Jun 17, 2010
Percutaneous gastrostomy procedure, same word used twice:
"A good light reflex was noted on the anterior abdominal wall. A 1:1 (S/L boh-lowt-ment) was directly visualized."
and again
"A transverse incision slightly to the left of midline was made where a good 1:1 *** was visualized."
I know they use ballottement in obstetrics, and it sounds similar to that, but more like boh-lowt-ment.
Also the 1:1 is dictated "one to one" I am assuming it is typed as above, but not sure since I'm not sure what the word is after it.
Thanks in advance!
Ballottement maybe? - Just Guessing
[ In Reply To ..]Just guessing since I appear to be the only other soul awake tonight :-)

At some point, it seems most management has started to treat the worker bees as enemies instead of part of the team. It's short-sighted and lazy, and I know it has to be costin ...

I am continually trying to find ways to improve speed without a lot of success. I am very frustrated and having difficulty paying my bills. Also, in case it co ...
