| prelevement oriente targeted sample Explanation: Judging from French sites where the phrase appears, "orienté" seems to be used in the sense of "[precisely] targeted". See for example: "Le prélèvement des sécrétions respiratoires basses par endoscopie est recommandéau cours des pneumonies graves nécessitant une ventilation assistée, au cours despneumonies sévères ne répondant pas au traitement et chez les patients immuno-déprimés. Hormis cas particulier, ces examens seront réalisés dans les servicesd’hospitalisation (1-4, 8-10). Le brossage distal protégé permet un prélèvement orienté. Avec un seuil de posi-tivité de 10,3 CFU/ml en culture quantitative, sa sensibilité est de 36 à 82 % et saspécificité de 50 à 95 %. Les complications sont rares (pneumothorax, hémoptysie) etles contre-indications sont principalement les troubles de l’hémostase." By the way, "brossage distal protégé" may be "protected specimen brush". |

peer agreement (net): +4| prelevement oriente biopsy,with orientation indicated Explanation: When a skin biopsy is submitted with its orientation indicated or marked, it means that its position in the patient is given to the pathologist for the record and better interpretation of the results. Orientation refers to its position in the patient: superior margin, medial, lateral,etc. Standard practice for surgical pathology, including skin specimens. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs 4 mins (2005-11-25 14:21:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The term "orienté" does have two meanings depending on the source of the specimen and the clinical setting. In skin biopsies measuring in centimeters, it is as above. In pinpoint collections (fine needle aspirates, other micro-sampling), it may mean targeted in the sense guided precisely and its localisation determined by other means,often imaging studies. That is not the case in this question. |
