"mac" anesthesia blade - sm - je suis MT


Posted: Jul 18, 2012

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:)

as in Macintosh - link for you

#-blade Or # Blade
Dec 14, 2010

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! ...
