Reference Guide Introduction The Transcription Reference Guide is a valuable tool as you are learning to transcribe medical reports. It includes samples of the report formats you will be using in this course as well as a list of all the rules you will learn, a list of common laboratory values and other references that will be helpful. In addition, you’ll find a section of Word Lists and Alphabetized Flashterms. The Word List corresponds to the terms in the Audio Exercises for this course. The Word List follows the order of the lessons, so you’ll hear some of the general terms first, followed by the specific system terms. When listening to the Word List, you may notice slight differences in pronunciation. For example, you’ll hear an s on the end of some eponyms, but the s is removed in the transcribed report. Doctors will often dictate the plural form of the eponym, but most facilities elect to delete the plural form (Alzheimer’s versus Alzheimer). Learning

  • Reconstructive
    RECONSTRUCTIVE Muscle versus Nonmuscle Flaps in the Reconstruction of Chronic Osteomyelitis Defects Christopher J. Salgado, Background: Surgical treatment of chronic osteomyelitis requires aggressive M.D. debridement followed by wound coverage and obliteration of dead space with Samir Mardini, M.D. vascularized tissue. Controversy remains as to the effectiveness of different tissue Amir A. Jamali, M.D. types in achieving these goals and in the eradication of disease. Juan Ortiz, M.D. Methods: Chronic osteomyelitis was induced in 26 goat tibias using Staphylo- Raoul Gonzales, D.V.M., coccus aureus as an infecting inoculum. In a single stage, debridement followed Ph.D. by reconstruction using either a muscle flap (n ϭ 13) or a fasciocutaneous flap Hung-Chi Chen, M.D. (n ϭ 13) was performed. Flap donor sites were closed primarily and antibiotics El Paso, Texas; Kaohsiung, Taiwan; were given for 5 days postoperatively. Daily clinical evaluation for 1 year was and Sacramento, Calif. performed and monthly radiographs were obtained for 9 months and 1 year after the reconstruction. Results: Twenty-five flaps survived completely, and one nonmuscle flap under- went partial flap loss following a period of venous congestion. There were no postoperative complications in the muscle flap group. Two goats (15 percent) in the nonmuscle group developed superficial wounds in the immediate post- operative period that resolved with conservative management. No limbs had recurrent osteomyelitis wounds at 1 year of clinical follow-up examination. Radiographic evidence of osteomyelitis was present in two goats (15 percent) in the muscle group and one goat (8 percent) in the nonmuscle group.

  • (TECA) Surgery
    Audit of Total Ear Canal Ablation-Lateral Bulla Osteotomy Procedures Performed by One Surgeon Audit project lead: D G Bentley Subject/area of practice: Surgery/Dermatology Date: January 2nd 2018 Reasons for Audit: To determine how complication rate of this procedure, both short and long term, compare with that in recently published literature and to be sure this procedure should be still be offered in-house rather than being referred to a surgical specialist. Background Total Ear Canal Ablation-Lateral Bulla Osteotomy (TECA-LBO) procedures on dogs (and cats) have been performed by this surgeon since 1991 and since that time over 260 procedures have been performed. The surgeon also runs a dermatology service with special interest in ear disease and wishes to provide a complete service whereby cases that are beyond medical treatment can go to surgery without being referred to a specialist surgeon. Indications for TECA-LBO are “end stage otitis”, where there is chronic irreversible change to the ear canal, intractable ear infections particularly as a result of middle ear infection and changes in the vicinity of the tympanic membrane/lower horizontal ear canal, and tumours in the ear canal which cannot be dealt with either by Lateral Wall Resection or Vertical Canal Ablation. Also sometimes, due to financial reasons, a client may prefer surgery to lengthy courses of treatment, requiring several anaesthetics and ear flushings, with no guarantee of success at the outset. The surgeon first learnt the technique that was published in video format in the “In Practice” series around 1991. This involved the use of an osteotome to separate the ear canal from the bulla and also looking for the facial nerve and pulling it out of the way using penrose drain material.

Cystic lesions located in the paravaginal region are rare. When present, paravaginal cysts are typically benign and are incidentally found on routine gynecological exams; however, rarely they can be malignant. Treatment options for paravaginal cancers are not well studied and early diagnosis may help improve prognosis in these patients. Our case describes a 55-year-old female with a recurrent paravaginal cyst that was remarkable for serous papillary adenocarcinoma despite biopsy and fuid cytology negative for malignancy. Tis case demonstrates that malignancy should be considered highly with a recurrent paravaginal cyst, especially when present over a short interval. 1.

  • Grading Evidence
    Grading Evidence Analysis of the colonoscopic findings in patients with rectal bleeding according to the pattern of their presenting symptoms Journal Diseases of the Colon & Rectum Publisher Springer New York ISSN 0012-3706 (Print) 1530-0358 (Online) Issue Volume 34, Number 5 / May, 1991 Abstract Patients presenting with rectal bleeding were prospectively categorized according to the pattern of their presentation into those with outlet bleeding (n=115), suspicious bleeding (n=59), hemorrhage (n=27), and occult bleeding (n=68). All patients underwent colonoscopy and this was complete in 94 percent. There were 34 patients with carcinoma and 69 with adenomas >1 cm diameter. The percentage of neoplasms proximal to the splenic flexure was 1 percent in outlet bleeding, 24 percent with suspicious bleeding, 75 percent with hemorrhage, and 73 percent with occult bleeding. Barium enema was available in 78 patients and was falsely positive for neoplasms in 21 percent and falsely negative in 45 percent. Colonoscopy is the investigation of choice in patients with suspicious, occult, or severe rectal bleeding. Bleeding of a typical outlet pattern may be investigated by flexible sigmoidoscopy.

Department of Surgery, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio 44106. Abstract Rectal bleeding is a frequent presenting symptom of a number of benign anorectal disorders. However, it may also be a warning sign of more significant gastrointestinal pathology. For this reason, full colonic evaluation has been recommended in patients with intermittent bright red rectal bleeding.

  • Caring for Your Urinary (Foley) Catheter
    Caring for Your Urinary (Foley) Catheter This information will help you care for your urinary (Foley) catheter while you’re at home. You have had a urinary catheter (a thin, flexible tube) placed in your bladder to drain your urine (pee). It’s held inside your bladder by a balloon filled with water. The parts of the catheter outside your body are shown in Figure 1. Catheter Care ● You need to clean your catheter, change your drainage bags, and wash your drainage bags every day. ● You may see some blood or urine around where the catheter enters your body, especially when walking or having a bowel movement. This is normal, as long as there’s urine draining into the drainage bag. If there’s not, call your healthcare provider. ● While you have your catheter, drink 1 to 2 glasses of liquids every 2 hours while you’re awake. ● Make sure that the catheter is in place in a tension free manner. The catheter should not be tight and should sit loosely. Showering ● You can shower while you have your catheter in place. Don’t take a bath until after your catheter is removed. ● Make sure you always shower with your night bag. Don’t shower with your leg bag. You may find it easier to shower in the morning. Cleaning Your Catheter You can clean your catheter while you’re in the shower. You will need the following supplies: 1. Gather your supplies. You will need: ○ Mild soap ○ Water 2. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

    Instructor's Guide AC210610: Basic CPT/HCPCS Exercises Page 1 of 101 Answer Key Chapter 1 Introduction to Clinical Coding 1.1: Self-Assessment Exercise 1. The patient is seen as an outpatient for a bilateral mammogram. CPT Code: 77055-50 Note that the description for code 77055 is for a unilateral (one side) mammogram. 77056 is the correct code for a bilateral mammogram. Use of modifier -50 for bilateral is not appropriate when CPT code descriptions differentiate between unilateral and bilateral. 2. Physician performs a closed manipulation of a medial malleolus fracture—left ankle. CPT Code: 27766-LT The code represents an open treatment of the fracture, but the physician performed a closed manipulation. Correct code: 27762-LT 3. Surgeon performs a cystourethroscopy with dilation of a urethral stricture. CPT Code: 52341 The documentation states that it was a urethral stricture, but the CPT code identifies treatment of ureteral stricture. Correct code: 52281 4. The operative report states that the physician performed Strabismus surgery, requiring resection of the medial rectus muscle. CPT Code: 67314 The CPT code selection is for resection of one vertical muscle, but the medial rectus muscle is horizontal. Correct code: 67311 5. The chiropractor documents that he performed osteopathic manipulation on the neck and back (lumbar/thoracic). CPT Code: 98925 Note in the paragraph before code 98925, the body regions are identified. The neck would be the cervical region; the thoracic and lumbar regions are identified separately. Therefore, three body regions are identified. Correct code: 98926 Instructor's Guide AC210610: Basic CPT/HCPCS Exercises Page 2 of 101 6.
