Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 , I can't think of anything that BPA would stand for. The only thing I can come up with would be something like CPA which is clear to percussion and auscultation. Hope you really enjoyed that weekend. Sorry you had to come home, Margaret >>> " njburk@... " 09/29/02 10:51PM >>> Oh, dear, I should not have returned home from our wonderful weekend in the land of the Redwoods in California! I have a new doctor, who has decided to try my NEW call-in digital system I purchased from Jay Vance, Dial Dictate. I am having trouble getting used to it after using tapes all these years and the sound quality is very poor. That is another story. This is a doctor who has been working in ER med for a long time and is now opening a private practice. I have never done hospital dictation. I am not sure what he is giving under the chest exam. He said s/l BPA. It is not listed in my abbreviations. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 Maybe BPH for benign prostatic hypertrophy. Try listening for that.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 , I'm wondering if he might be say " PBA " , in which is " pressure breathing assisted " per Stedmans Abbreviations, though just a guess.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 , I did find under BPA in ' Medical Abbreviations, " birch pollen allergy. " This might be more like it. Re: HELP!

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 Hmmm, if the 'B' is clear, I wonder if it could be bilateral percussion and auscultation. An awkward way to say it but valid for content.
