significant anesthesia of extremities? - mystified
Posted: Dec 28, 2011
Dictator dictating the extremity section of PE and says significant right-sided hemiplegia, significant "anesthesia."? Would this be what is sounds like? TIA.
Is there such a thing as "excellent anesthesia" or "exelon anesthesia". My dictation sure sounds like one of those but can't seem to find these terms. Any help would be great.
Thanks

The doctor is explaining the pt's ambulation due to lumbosacral spondylosis for which he is doing radiofrequency ablation for.
It s/l he is saying "list."
With ambulation she has definitely got a significant (list) to the left side. She can heel-and-toe walk without much difficulty, and her balance appears to be quite good.
Thanks! ...
I'm guessing either the huge group of hospitals (I think they're like the walmart of hospitals) dropped them because they were awful, or they're trying to keep costs low and are having ILPs do their own QA, which will be a disaster. Since I see the USA side of that hospital group still pop up once in awhile, I'm guessing its the latter.
Pretty much the ILP QA department may as well be nonexistent. I see just as many errors on work that goes through th ...

Female patient with pericardial effusion. History of hypertension and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Dr. with foreign accent. Sounds like he is saying Extremities: Ruddy. Anyone ever run across Ruddy when describing the extremities? ...
After bilateral knee arthroplasty, patient has (S/L) SEDs on both lower extremities.

Never seen or heard before. New doc states in extremities portion...No clubbing, cyanosis or edema. EDVLSWNL.
At least that what is sounds like. Could possibly be EDVLSWNO but don't know what that would be either.
Has anyone here heard of this? Thanks! ...
I have listened to this over and over and it sounds like this doctor is saying, "No clubbing, cyanosis, edema, or lesions. Full range of motion s/l of/in both pulses." Then he goes on to the neurologic part of the exam. Can anyone help me with this, please? ...
When the doctor dictates about the gait and tandem gait, do you leave that under extremities if he dictates it there? He usually says it at very end of physical exam, and I am unsure if he just forgot to dictate "NEUROLOGICAL" heading or what. Sometimes he does dictate a NEUROLOGICAL heading and puts the gait there as well as other things, but then many times he dictates it at end of extremities and does not give separate heading. What would be the appropriate thing to do in th ...

Thanks! ...

This is an operative report for a vein graft procedure:
Under ultrasound guidance, [?] anesthesia was injected along the course of the saphenous vein. Again, a total of 300 cc of [?] anesthesia was utilized.
s/l "tamessin", all I could find was temazin, a cold medicine?? Seems like it should be something else. TIA ...
