Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 How about pulse oximetry? Per Vera. Hope it helps! VItal Signs Hi All, I have never heard a doc dictate in Vital Signs of PE: Sounds like: Pulse oxsymmetry 96 percent on room air? Could he mean oxygen symmetry? He is not saying oxygen saturation. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 Thanks. I was not sure. I don't think of Vera much. Must do that more often. I sent it as Temperature max??

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 Aliceanne, If you have Vera, try to remember to use her for things like this, which are a little more obscure and less likely to be in any of your other books. She is a great source for just this kind of question. I probably would have either typed it as he said it, T-max, or put maximum temperature, but I think what you put is okay also.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Just looking over the proof and they did not change it. They kept it at Temperature max 98.2 Thanks for alerting me.
