Learn To Say It Correctly!!

[SheriLynnRN]

Doesn't it just drive you insane when someone tells you that Mr. Smith's O2 STAT is 96%?

It's O2 SAT people! Sat, short for saturation. I even hear respiratory therapists saying this. I am sooooo tempted to say something next time, but I know it's just petty, so I needed to vent here. Thank you.

I see this "DH" on this forum a lot. What does it stand for?

My husband thought it meant something besides "dear husband" or "designated hitter".

I did too.

I did too.

My husband was reading over my shoulder and I was mentioning something about him using "DH" and he wondered why I was mad at him.

Yes, I have also heard an RN say this in every conversation she has about pt's o2 sats. It bothers me also, how can they not know its sat, not stat. I just giggle to my self. I am glad to finaly hear someone else, thinks the same as I do.

Ha, I have a website that I send people to when they misuse 'loose', but it's not appropriate for this forum. :)
