Not my field, but........ Explanation: Hi Sue, All I can think why they are stating this, is that there may be an abdominal would that was dressed and they are merely recording the fact that although the abdomen was distended on admission, the wound itself was dry? Just a thought..... Hope you well Debs -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2005-06-15 11:02:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Erratum: wound -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2005-06-15 11:02:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- i.e. there was no discharge from the wound. |

dry bandage/dressing Explanation: Dear Sue, You've got the right definition of penso, according to Houaiss: Penso - conjunto de medicamentos, antissépticos e partes acessórias (p.ex., cobertura protetora) que se põem sobre a ferida, ferimento, incisão cirúrgica etc. para protegê-los, higienizá-los, cicatrizá-los; curativo. This boy probably suffered an injury or was operated on. It's a positive sign when a bandage is dry after either one of them because it means it's not more likely to not be infected. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2005-06-15 11:11:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hope my explanation helps you out! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2005-06-15 11:12:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hope my explanation helps you out! |
