So, in text should it be #-blade or # blade (i.e., 11-blade or 11 blade)? It would make sense to be that it should be 11 blade, but there are many MTs who type 11-blade (or 15-blade or whatever). When editing for my hospital, I change it to 11 blade, but I'm starting to doubt myself.
Thanks for the help! ...
Does anyone know whether "phaco" as in "phaco blade" is capitalized or not? Is there a chance it would be one word: phacoblade? Thank you so much for your response in advance!!! ...
Fuchs dystrophy surgery...having some problems with names of instruments used in the surgery. Sounds like "Presson" blade? and sounds like "Gussey"forceps? ...
Procedure = tonsillectomy + UPPP + base-of-tongue Coblation
"A #3 mac anesthesia blade was then used to expose the tongue base."
Probably a dumb question but is that "mac" as in "MacIntosh" or MAC as in "monitored anesthesia care"?
Thanks:) ...
