This guess is really far off but maybe J-tube jejunostomy? PEG tube? E tube? J tube?

It would be helpful if you could tell us specifically what kind of stomach disorder the patient is being treated for, and the reason for the procedure if opssible, along with any other brief pertinent data. Thank you! (sorry to repeat the original moderate request to include stuff like that that was posted not long ago but it really really helps us out to try and figure out someone else's word.

Think if you couldn't understand what the doc was saying for a medication (You kinda understood him, but he was flying thru the dictation and you could not make out if he was saying, Then, mercifully, he either gives you the condition or dose. You would know that if patient was given Xanax at 150 mg (and although almost all of the nurses out there are quite competent and smart, there are some dummies out there and you must never know what might happen. Anway, the patient would OD and die on that high of dose of a benzo. I just found out recently that Narcan will not bring you back from a benzo overdose, only from opiods. I never knew that. Anyway, I would hope that a couple of things would happen - first, the pharmacy would catch it, and secondly, the nurse would wonder why she had to give a patient 150 blue Xanax pills at one time. and, the ending result, if this happens, the would end up. (I have to be careful about my meds. I don't have epilepsy but I do have a grandmal seizure disorder if I am given any med that lowers my seizure threshold (Ultram, Cipro, different anbitiocs, Elavil, etc. When I was so gravely ill last summer and sick for months, ending up on 8 course of antibiotics, within about 14 weeks,the third antibiotic the doc had given me, which was Cipro, after Mactrobid and Bactrim had failed to cure me. I was already septic after 10 days of letting the UTI get out of control and that's more than likely the reason it took 3 good drugs to get rid of it. Anyway, obviously the doc was not paying attn to my allergies, and prescribed me Cipro, which has a HUGE contraindication for seizure people. He failed to pay attention, the pharmacist, even with my allergy list on file that I cannot take anything that lowers the seizure threshold, missed it too. And for me, Anyway time I am given a new drug, I do extensive research on it but at that point, I was just way to sick to care and I never looked it up. 3 days later, I had a massive grand mal seizure - seizure last about 1-2 minutes but I was post ictal for at least 30-45 minutes. It's very frightening. I guess you could call it a comedy of errors but when you have listed with your doc and pharm guy that you cannot take fluoroquinolones or regular quinolones, *somebody* should have noticed something along the way.

I'm sure medications and dosages are mixed up all the time. If a patient was given Zantac at 0.5 mg because of incorrectly written orders to report, there would be no effect on stomach or the panic/anxiety attacks (at least while he was still alive). IF you have 1/2 a brain and are at least a nurse (heck, I think we know almost as much as most nurses to), you know there's no way in heck any patient would be able to tolerate 150 mg of Xanax without dying, so now you're pretty sure he means Zantac and it's especially helpful if he mentions the health issues other than the chief complaint.

If you're transcribing the report, and the doctor says Zantac, then, he gives you the dose for Xanax at 0.5 mg, which is an extremely lower dose than Zantac, yo['re pretty sure of a couple of things from what you have learned. Xanax and Zantac were mixed up all the times years ago, and our saving grace was if the dog gave the dose of the med or the condition.

Anway, Re that stomach tube, I did a relatively lengthy search, part of the resaon being I might come across the same term someday, and I want to be able to remember it. I would rather rely on some relatively extensive research to ignite my memory, than multi-page document of works I've never heard of or having to pick up that 850 lb Dorlands. OL. This is because I know that in time, there won't be a need for that. It will be commited to memory.

I was and MT for a long time and then went to billing. I missed MT for a couple of years and Now I'm back. I know I have some catching up to do on some proceds, meds, etc. and have to get to work on the Stedman's guide for studing for surgical word reports. I've done 'em in the past but that was at hospitals and I haven't worked in a hospital for ages, only docor's offices. Anyway, I could not find anything.

Sorry. The seach I did on Google was on stomach pumps. Medical stomach pumps. Stomach pumps for abdomen. Stomach pumps for abdominal disease, etc. Good luck, and if you wouldn't mind doing this, you please come b0ack here and let us know what it is if your QA person can figure it out (almost all of my QA reports come back with the same QB blanks I left). Sigh. I know I'd like to know what pump is called, and i'm sure a few others would too.

Thanks bunches! Have a great day!
