Alginate donor lymphocyte infusion dose - salicestar

Posted: Aug 30, 2010

Would I write the following with subscript? I thought subscript was frowned upon. Would I abbreviate part of "per cubic gram patient weight"

The patient received a total of 224 x 10 to the eighth nucleated cells or 0.37 x 10 to the eighth with a total CD 3 dose of 16.96 x 10 to the sixth per cubic gram patient weight.

First, that is probably "allogeneic" donor . . google it and you will see several results.
For the subscript, we are to use 224 x 10 to the 8th, not eighth.

For cubic gram, I have never run across this, so don't want to assume or guess.

Hope this all helps.

superscript - see message

I think it's fine to use superscript in place of "squared", i.e., cm², particularly when they are dictating values.

- or subscript for O₂ when dictated that way.

sub/superscripts - jj

I would do 224 x 10 to the 8th . . .Our platform and accounts do not allow any sub/superscripts at any time, so you may also need to check with your facility or employer.

This is a note on a patient with lymphoma. "...pain is being controlled with cad infusion, with basal rate of 1 mg/hour". Dictator pronounces "cad" (not individual letters c-a-d). Am aware of chemotherapy combos (i.e, cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, dacarbazine, and cytosine, arabinoside, daunorubicin) but am wondering if they would be used for pain control. Also, earlier in the report, the dictator makes it sound as if chemo has been d/c'd. In the back of my ...

What is your opinion on the ICD-9 Procedure code for an infusion of Remicade for rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn's disease? Since this is considered a high-risk drug, the CPT codes are in the antineoplastic category. But matching up a ICD-9 is not clear. Since Remicade is a biologic response modifier you can go down that path. It is also a monoclonal antibody, so you can go down that path. So far I have come up with 99.28, 99.25, 00.18, and the usual 99.29. ...

I'm having a little trouble with this medication dictation. "3. Methotrexate 25 mg/mL 0.9 cc weekly injection." Then she says "4 needles 1 mL (s/l u or unit)/125 g1." What I can't figure out is if she is saying 4 needles or if she is dictating the #4 and "needles" is a medication that I can't find a match to online. Can anyone shed some light here, please? ...

Hey all, I am trying to figure out if Pristiq can be dosed at 225 mg? The website I use for dosing doesn't say that. The doctor says, "two twenty-five mg daily." He doesn't say two hundred and twenty-five mg daily. However, I see that Pristiq comes in 50 mg, so if the dose was 50 mg why would he say 2 - 25 mg? LOL! Just checking to see if anyone has an idea. Thanks, Chris ...

Regarding the DLP - I've seen it written variously mGy-cm, mGy•cm and mGy.cm.

Anyone have a definitive answer & reference? Thanks :) ...
