This is a note on a patient with lymphoma.
"...pain is being controlled with cad infusion, with basal rate of 1 mg/hour".
Dictator pronounces "cad" (not individual letters c-a-d). Am aware of chemotherapy combos (i.e, cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, dacarbazine, and cytosine, arabinoside, daunorubicin) but am wondering if they would be used for pain control. Also, earlier in the report, the dictator makes it sound as if chemo has been d/c'd.
In the back of my mind, there's a bell ringing about an infusion device/port with a name like that but can't bring it to the front.
Thanks in advance:)
