g-tube - salicestar

Posted: May 17, 2010

She was admitted for complaints of nausea and ("DTs") to gastrostomy tube (G-tube) intake for 5 days.

What does dt's (deetees) stand for? could they be saying something else?

PT Hx doesn't say anything about alcohol abuse.

DTs - hope this helps

DTs are the shakes when withdrawing from alcohol

no alcohol abuse - salicestar

There is no alcohol abuse in the history. That is why I question that I am hearing it correctly. Can it be anything else?

DTs can result from withdrawal of prolonged barbiturates - and/or perhaps the doc without

a full understanding of the term is using it to just mean "shaking", which is just one of the symptoms of DTs. If he is clearly saying DTs, then it would not stand for anything else because it is so readily associated with delerium tremens. In my opinion.
