Dialysate solution (s/l RFP or RSP 440) - sm - CM

Posted: Dec 27, 2010

I have a thickly accented ESL who has just started dictating dialysis notes for our facility. I'm used to the docs giving the dialysate as, say, BGK 4/5, or breaking the concentrations down by potassium, bicarb, etc., but this new guy is saying what sounds like "RSP 440" or "RFP 440" and we're at a loss as to what that is, unable to document it yet. I thought at first that they were talking about some solution used in a recirculating single-pass machine, and QA thought they were hearing RFP, stating that they thought that stood for "red fluorescent protein used in dialysate solutions" (neither of which answers the "440" portion of that phrase, and whether that refers to some ratio components, or a total dose of something, or merely the number desginating a particular manufacturer's formulat, or ....?

Anyone know for sure? what's being said here? TIA.

RPF could be renal plasma flow (a guess) - lka

Does that fit at all?

I don't think so, because they state it's the dialysate solution - CM

...so I'd expect them to list their usual "BGK 4/2.5" or give "potassium 2, bicarb 35," or similar. QA has decided what they "think" it is, but I think I'm going to keep flagging it until I see something confirming it and let them be the ones to enter their best guess, rather than me.

This is how we got paid at a major department store when I was a hairdresser: Guaranteed minimum wage for hours worked. If our production exceeded minimum wage we were paid a percentage of that production on top of the minimum wage, usually 40%. I would love to have MTs guaranteed at least a minimum wage for hours worked (or waiting to work) and anything we produce that exceeds that wage should be paid at the customary cpl. This would encourage higher production, benefitting th ...

Nuance needs to INSIST that the facilities INSIST that their dictators NOT dictate on cell phones or speaker phones or head sets with the mouth piece halfway down the larynx. No one in their right mind likes to have a conversation with someone else on a speaker phone. The sound is muffled and/or tinny. Cell phones tend to clip off words. Please, Nuance, throw us a bone and help us out here. We want to ensure a good product and take pride in our work, but when we have all these obstacles agains ...

Hello: I have started typing for a new physician who has joined our hospital staff. He is a general surgeon. He usually does EGDs and colonoscopies or hernia repair surgeries. He keeps saying what sounds like intra-luminary or intra-abdominal solution near the end of the report. I am not sure, but has anyone heard of this? Example: The intra-luminary or intra-abdominal solution was removed at the end of the procedure. Thanks for any help in advance. :) ...
