For carotid endarterectomy the MD is saying... we used the - lka


Posted: Mar 19, 2010

SOunds like he is saying we used the "iron intern" for retraction and once we had good exposure we went ahead and gave 7000 units of heparin. 

 

Any thoughts?  Thank you!

I did find it in Tessier Surgery Book. Iron interne retractor - lka

Finally looked under retractor and found it... even after 25 years I still learn something new everytime.

Thanks for anyone who tried to help!!

Carotid Duplex

I have a worksheet to fill out on a carotid duplex.  For both the right and left side, it says WNL then states that the vertebral arteries have antegrade flow. Am I safe to assume that WNL is within normal limits?  All he talks about in the rest of the report is how the right bulb is slightly enlarged but symmetric compared to the left.  Thanks! :) ...
