11/12/1990 Gender: F Patient Type: Inpatient Reason for Visit: Cervical Incompetence Notes/Comments: Unit 3 Case Study 2 PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Cervical incompetence POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Cervical incompetence OPERATION: Transabdominal cervical cerclage with broad Mersilene tape INDICATIONS: This is a 28-year old female discovered to have cervical incompetence and wishes to have this corrected. She presents today for a cervical cerclage. PROCEDURE: The patient was taken to the OR prepped, draped and placed under general anesthesia. Attention was turned to her abdomen where a transverse suprapubic incision was made. The vesical peritoneum overlying the lower uterine segment was divided transversely. The bladder and paravesical tissues were pushed caudally until the supravaginal cervix could be seen and palpated in the midline with good exposure laterally. The uterine vessels were displaced laterally, opening the paracervical connective tissue space. The needle was passed anteroposteriorly above the paracervical vessels immediately adjacent to the cervix at the level of the cervicoisthmic junction superior to the medial insertions of the uterosacral ligaments, care being taken to retract the uterine vessels laterally and to guide the needle tip with fingers behind the broad ligament. Before being pulled through completely, the band width of the tape was verified as being flush with the anterior cervicoisthmic tissues. The knot was then tied in the posterior. She was extubated and taken to recovery room in stable condition, without any complications. What's the Pcs code

The cervical vertebra called axis provides head with sideways rotation. This can be because (a) it is articulated to skull through occipital condyles (b) it is fused with $1^{\text {st }}$ vertebra atlas (c) it is joined through elastic pads of fibrocartilage with other vertebrae, which provide mobility (d) it contains odontoid process that fits into the odontoid canal of atlas.
Mr. Jones is an outpatient coming in for a Lumbar Puncture. Upon his arrival in the Radiology department you verify patient name and DOB by having the patient verbalize them as well as comparing that to the arm band. You ask Mr. Jones for his history as well as medication list. He informs you that he takes Lovenox to prevent blood clots. You ask when his last dose of the medication was and he tells you last night before bed. You know that blood thinners must be stopped 48 hours prior to any invasive procedure. What is the problem here? Why is this a problem? What should you be done about this? What are some possible options? What might the consequences be to each option? What is the best option? Why is that the best option?
