dyspnea

COVID-19 GBK English to French Medical Medical (general)
Definition from Mayo Clinic:
Shortness of breath — known medically as dyspnea — is often described as an intense tightening in the chest, air hunger, difficulty breathing, breathlessness or a feeling of suffocation. Very strenuous exercise, extreme temperatures, obesity and higher altitude all can cause shortness of breath in a healthy person. Outside of these examples, shortness of breath is likely a sign of a medical problem.
Example sentences:
Timing of dyspnea may be one of the most important hallmarks of COVID-19 coronavirus infection, especially for clinicians seeing patients in an ambulatory setting, experts argued. (MedPage Today)
Admission to the intensive care unit and mechanical ventilation should be considered in patients with dyspnea and diffuse radiological findings. (National Center for Biotechnology Info.)
Intensive care and airway management are indicated for patients displaying signs of respiratory failure (e.g., dyspnea with hypoxemia, respiratory rate > 30/min). (AMBOSS)

Dyspnée

Definition from Université laval:
La dyspnée<br />Définition et nom<br />Qu&#039;est-ce que la dyspnée (essoufflement)?<br /><br />La dyspnée est une difficulté respiratoire (sensation de manque d&#039;air) qui peut être d&#039;origine cardiaque. Elle se manifeste à l&#039;effort, en position couchée ou sans raison précise, même la nuit.<br /><br />Cause
Example sentences:
Quelle est la cause de la dyspnée? La dyspnée survient lorsque la demande ventilatoire (l'entrée d'oxygène et la sortie de dioxyde de carbone) du corps est plus élevée que ce que les poumons peuvent fournir ou que le travail respiratoire est augmenté par des problèmes ou anomalies. Les causes exactes peuvent être diverses : une laryngite, un corps étranger dans les voies respiratoires, l'obésité (causant une compression de la cage thoracique), des problèmes cardiaques congénitaux (tétralogie de Fallot)... Or, elle indique de graves problèmes si elle est due à une affection des poumons ou à une maladie cardiaque. (Université laval)
