What is the plural of cc? Is it cc's or just cc. E.g. To flush the IV use 5 cc's.

Hi! In Canada we rarely use the measurement ' cc' anymore except in speech. Instead, we use millilitres. So...... the abbreviations would be ml and mls respectively. But, for those of us from 'the old school', we would write cc and cc's . Hope this helps. Anyone else have an example from their country???? Wink [;)]

How do you expect to flush anything with just 5 cc's of any liquid?

You need a lot of water or any other liquid in order to flush anything. How can you flush with only 5 cc's?

Hi, Lucy:
Well, for one thing, you can flush a saline lock with 3 cc's of normal saline. That's just one example. (Doesn't sound like you are a nurse....?) Crying [:'(]

cc
an alternate symbol for the cubic centimeter (cm3). This symbol is obsolete and should not be used; cm3 should be used in its place. The cubic centimeter is the same volume as the milliliter (mL or ml).

And for its plural, I think only cc is right, not cc's or ccs.
