Edt ?

[Inquisitive one]

A friend is taking an at home medical transcription class and she's stuck on an abbreviation.

Assessment/PLAN

1. Upper respiratory infection

2. Pharyngitis

3. EDT

Z pack, curtail po intake, Allegra-D prn

Any guesses as to what EDT stands for in this scenario? Thanks

Call me a smartass, but I found more:

EDT

1,2-ethanedithiol

Early Distal (Tubules)

Electrodiagnostic Testing

Electron Density Transfer

Electronic Data Transfer

Emergency Department Thoracotomy

End Diastolic Thickness

End Diastolic Threshold

Endothelin

Erythrocyte Density Separation Test

Erythrocyte Density Test

[Crocuta, RN]

I would say eustachian tube dysfunction given the references to URI and pharyngitis.

Thanks everyone. I will let you know the answer when my friend gets her assignment corrected. It could take up to 2 weeks though. I thought it could stand for evaluation/diagnosis/treatment.
