Re: soplo tubario bilateral and some abbreviations

Hi Mark,

> - Taquipneica, FR 40x'.

FR is probably " respiratory rate, " or " respiration rate, " in English:

RR 40

> - Dormicum 15mg ER Stat

I would expect this to read " EV " , standing for " endovenosa " : IV STAT

Dormicum is midazolam, a benzodiazepine that may indeed be given by

the intravenous route.

Hi Mark,

Didn't get to the bottom of your post first time round.

> Is " NVO " in Spanish the same as " NPO " in English?

I think so. NVO probably stands for " nada vía oral. "

> SNG = NG tube?

A Google search on +SNG + " sonda nasogástrica " was quite fruitful.

So you're probably right.

I believe it's a reference to amphoric breath sounds associated

with lung cavities.

Frecuencia respiratória

Yes, SNG is sonda nasogastrica, at least in Portuguese, so i would expect

to be the same in Spanish.

Also, FR means frequencia respiratoria, that is respiratory rate

don't think so, there's sopro tubarico and sopro anforico which are not the

same.....At 09:22 09-09-2001 -0300, you wrote:

If somebody can tell me what soplo tubario is, I can tell you what it is

called in English. I was a little unsure how to interpret the Spanish

passage I quoted here yesterday, but as far as I can see, it describes the

transmission of the respiratory sounds from the trachea and bronchi through

consolidated lung to the surface of the thorax, and if this interpretation

is correct, then the English term is " bronchial breathing " .

Si el tejido pulmonar se encuentra condensado por relleno de los

alvéolos, manteniendo los bronquios permeables, el aumento de

la densidad facilita la transmisión del sonido hacia la

superficie del tórax, lo que hace posible auscultar en la

superficie del tórax un ruido similar al traquebronquial o

incluso al traqueal (respiración soplante, soplo tubario), en

sitios donde normalmente sólo debería haber murmullo

pulmonar.

http://escuela.med.puc.cl/paginas/Cursos/tercero/IntegradoTercero/mec-231_Cl

ases/mec231_Clase_10.html

Thus, " soplo tubario bilateral " would be written by a British doctor as

" bilateral bronchial breathing " or " bronchial breathing bilaterally " or

" bronchial breathing both sides " .

- Unless I have misinterpreted the explanation in Spanish. Spanish is not

one of my working languages.

Curiously, in the ten years' work I did in the British National Health

System from 1990-1995, I never heard anybody refer to " amphoric " breath

sounds, even though I can find this mentioned abundantly on the web. I have

certainly heard amphoric breath sounds, but I probably called them

something like " high-pitched, tinny sounds " in the case notes.
