I would change the pulse oxed somehow, but I don't type that stuff much

either so not sure how. Maybe something like patient's pulse oximetry

showed 92%. Does that make sense? I'm sure someone else can help you

better with that, but I do think that O2 (the 2 subscripted if possible) is

definitely fine if that's what the doc dictated, unless of course it's

somewhere where you're not supposed to use abbreviations like the diagnosis.

Don't do many of these, but I have just ran into two in a row from a doc who

says, " the patient pulse oxed at 92% " . This account isn't verbatim...is

" pulse oxed " the correct way to type this? It looks odd to me. Also, if

the account isn't verbatim and they use " 02 " , should I put " 02 " or should I

put " oxygen " ? Thanks in advance for the advice.

Does " pulse ox " always stand for pulse oximetry? Or can it also stand for pulse

oxygenation? I ask because my docs always want oxygenation typed out when they

say pulse ox. Curious what the standard is here--it's not in Stedman's

Abbreviations. I looked. :)

Joy's suggestion sounds like a good one. I've been checking references and

pulse ox (let aloned pulse oxed) isn't listed in the Stedman's pulmonology,

abbreviations, or IM references. Also no worthwhile hits on Google. I know

I've heard pulse ox many times, but can't actually verify it.

It's not in Stedman's Cardio & Pulmonary words either. I checked under both

oxygenation and pulse. The only listings are for pulse oximetry. Curiouser and

Then it just must be my weird group of docs--and this doesn't surprise me at

You can't find it because it's slang. It's not an " official " abbreviation.

Pulse ox means pulse oximetry.

As far as past tense is concerned, if your account is verbatim, I guess you'd

have to go with pulse oxed. If the account is not verbatim, I'd say reword it

to something like Her pulse oximetries were or pulse oximetry was, or whatever

that case may be. HTH :)

Hey, I didn't even think about that. I looked in Stedman's just under Ox

and it does have oxygen for that. As a matter of fact for oximetry, it

shows that under Oxi, not Ox. So changing my mind here. Maybe something

like " ...patient had pulse oxygen of 92%. " :o)

Well, shoot. I just corrected myself based on what I found in under Ox in

Stedman's ABBREV. So pulse ox is always slang for pulse oximetry? I knew I

thought that initially for a reason. ;)

Ok, from what I understand from my lab experiences and blood gases,

etc., pulse oximetry measures the oxygen percent saturation of the

blood. Don't know if this will help with figuring out what he said

though. :)

As far as I know from the reports I've done and what I've been told by my

supervisor at work and our QA people, when the docs say " pulse ox is such and

such percent " , that's pulse oximetry. However, if you are on a strictly

verbatim account that permits slang, you'd type pulse ox. My account doesn't

permit slang so we are to transcribe it as pulse oximetry. Hope that unmuddies

the waters a bit :)
