French term or phrase: déclive
I have looked in the glossary and term search, but not really found a satisfactory translation for this term in this context. Can it mean 'supine'?
'Pas d'adenopathie ou de masse mediastinale. Il semble y avoir une atteinte en verre depoli des lobes superieurs mais ceci est possiblement cause par le fait que l'examen a ete faite en position déclive
et la presence d'epanchements pleuraux cause....'

Selected answer:Trendelenburg position
Explanation:
"Déclive" means that the patient is lying on his back (supine) but not only : he's lying with his feet higher than the head. That's why in your text it's said that "Il semble y avoir une atteinte des lobes supérieurs" (and not inferior).

agree  Jean-Christophe Vieillard: et proclive alors ?// D'accord, le GDT se serait trompé si j'en crois aussi http://) fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Décubitus (un décubitus déclive ou position de Trendelenburg : le plan est incliné, les membres inférieurs sont plus hauts que la tête)

  -> proclive = allongé sur le dos mais la tête plus relevée que les pieds. C'est l'inverse de la position déclive. Un schéma montre bien ça ici (proclive seulement) :http://www.esculape.com/pediatrie/bronchiolite_parent.html
