She is dictating: A #4.0 Judkins left catheter was now advanced through the right femoral artery sheath. This was advanced through the ostium of the left coronary artery. Shouldnt this be left? ...
I am new MT (sort of). I am doing a cardiac cath from an ESL with marbles in his mouth. This is a false positive stress test, and I am going nuts with one phrase. It is:
"The left anterior descending artery was large, 5 mm in diameter. (s/l tran sif ico) was mildly tortuous but no focal lesions."
I googled the phrase and found it, and was led to this site, but it is not here. Anybody have a clue on the (s/l trans sif ico)? ...
Sounds like "RBU 4 to 6-French guide catheter" or maybe "RBU4 6-French guide catheter"
Dictates it so fast I can't tell what is going on here.
TIA!!! ...

Hi,
Has there ever been a determination made as to the correct use of Perma-Cath versus PermCath? Both are on Tessier's Surgical Word Book. When to use which? ...

Maybe my spell check won't catch caps....
Anyone?
PS - I'm going to change it in the title just to cover myself....thanks! ...
