History and Physical Examination report - JRG

Posted: Jan 11, 2012

When arrival to Baptist Hospital, he was in significant respiratory distress, ABG’s were checked and initial pH-7.25, pCO2-69, S/L "it appeared" to 128, bicarb 30 and S/L "IO2" or could it be "SO2" to 40%. Thank you

It's ON arrival -- not when - nm

Assuming this could be a verbatim account and the doc dictated this verbiage....just sayin :)

you're kidding, right? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
And what would "when arrival to" mean?

It is far more likely that the ear tranformed "on" to "when".

WOW.... - Mrs. Pass

I'm trying to help her answer her question; not nit-pick the other text (proofreading will be done I am sure, but I'm not on the QA clock right now, so I am going to focus on the QUESTION only)....none of us have an idea of what was dictated. Chill a bit. It's ok, I promise. :)

talk yourself down - huh?

There was no not-picking on my part. I was trying to help the poster as well.

If you wanted to "focus on the QUESTION only," why did you bother responding to me in the first place?

You raised an issue with my assistance, only confounding the issue for the poster. How did that help?

and it could be... - Mrs. Pass

On arrival
Upon arrival
When arrived

Any number of things....

And we all know it could be verbatim and also know this may or may not be correct, but you type what you hear in that case.

Not really sure what it should be, just trying to help her get her report finished and move on to the next....

Have a great day, all.

hon, I was just letting OP know that "when arrival" - was likely an error

She's not an idiot. She can go back and listen if she wishes.

May I quote you? "Chill a bit. It's ok, I promise."

Thank you, but I still need help with the sound alike, Thanks

ABGs - Mrs. Pass

[ In Reply To ..]
the tests included in ABGs are:
pH
PaO2
HCO3
PaCO2
and BE (base excess)

Maybe if you listen again you will hear them in context. Hope this helps. :)

Also, SaO2 - Mrs. Pass
