He was transferred to 3B cardiovascular surgical floor. He was diuresed with Lasix. His **drip vac? strip vac?** was discontinued."
I don't really think this is right and I never hear it dictated, but - Olive
[ In Reply To ..]drip bag? I have really tried for something VAC. Can't come up with it.
Thanks... I'll check back and see what QA does with it. - CrankyBeach
[ In Reply To ..]She really did say the "vac" part pretty clearly; it was what came in front of it that was not clear....
QA also left it blank. Now I don't feel so bad. :) - CrankyBeachc
