HAG - medtrans
Posted: Feb 02, 2012
Patient has a tracheotomy with ongoing 28% HAG.
I just need to check because I'm not familiar with this acronym. In this case does it stand for Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis?
These are what I have come up with as using the acronym "HAG".
heat-aggregated globulin
heat-aggregated IgG
Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis
hemagglutinin
human angiotensinogen
hypothalamo-adenohypophyseal-gonadal
some history would help here. PEG? - nm

Patient history - medtrans
[ In Reply To ..]severe obesity, pulmonary hypertension, respiratory failure, on HAG, type 2 diabetes, chronic lymphedema
admitted to the hospital with acute respiratory distress
discharge diagnosis was hypoventilation syndrome
First time I have transcribed this patient and no mention of a PEG.
since your patient has a trach, perhaps trach/PEG combined with - 28% flow rate ??

The PEG tube would be inserted down to the stomach - listen again, maybe bag? sm
[ In Reply To ..]as in bag-valve-mask. Just giving you some suggestions to relisten for another word, as I don't think HAG is what you're looking for.
Thank you. I got Mr. Sounds like he's drunk dictating today. nm - medtrans
