Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Me again. Am I the only one unfortunate enough to be working today? The “sounds like” below is something I’ve had come up before, and to which I never received a satisfactory answer from QA. Today I AM QA, so I want to give the MT who transcribed this a better answer than the others gave me. I *know* that mmHg is correct here, but that’s NOT what he’s saying, and he’ s not saying “power,” which I thought might be a slight (very slight) possibility. Y’all ever heard this? A 12-mm Optiview port was placed under visual control in the left upper quadrant. The abdomen was then insufflated with carbon dioxide to 15 _____ [s/l tor], and 3 additional trocars were placed. Thanks very much for any help. Jayni This e-mail has been scanned with Norton Antivirus updated no more than 12 hours ago. Is your virus program up to date?
