ET tube size - digit
Posted: Jun 12, 2015
How do you transcribe ET tube size, is it "a size 75 ET tube, or a size 7.5 ET tube."
Diameter is in mm, so 7.5, unless they are intubating an elephant... - Beach Glass Lover

Typically, it is the internal diameter of the tube itself.
This site is a good reference for different sizes for different ages and needs.

Font Size Help!!! (please) Apr 29, 2010This isn't directly related to MT, but is in a round-about way.

I don't know how to describe exactly where it is happening, but it is the font at the top of the tabs in IE, in the side menu (listing my mail folders) in my Outlook mail, the font in Word at the top of the page (toolbar and file, edit, view, etc.), in some message boxes, etc.& ...

Stent Size Question Mar 17, 2011I know we are to drop the zero after a decimal when doing lab values, i.e. "hemoglobin was seven point zero" is just written as "hemoglobin was 7", but do you drop the zero after sizes, i.e. "Taxus three point O by twelve mm drug-eluting stent" - is that written 3.0 x 12-mm or 3 x 12-mm? I never can get this straight...any input would be helpful.

Screen Size Question Apr 23, 2012It just occurred to me the other day, I probably would be better off with an updated monitor. The actual viewing portion of my screen is only about 9-1/2 high and 12-1/2 inches wide ... the old thick chunky-type monitor. For those of you who are using larger flat screens, has it made much of a difference for you for proofing and overall viewing ease? ...

BOS Question On Cardiac Stent Size Feb 21, 2011I've been dinged on QA for typing a cardiac stent as "2.0 x 18 mm"; the note says "This should be 2 x 18 mm--drop the .0 if it's an even-numbered stent". This feels wrong, especially since the manufacturer's list shows it as "2.0". I'm on a new job and they're claiming to follow BOS, but they only have a copy of the 2nd Ed. (and I don't have access to a 3rd Ed.). I've been able to refute everything else that she erroneously flagged. Can someone verify which of ...
