English translation: arterial blood pressure measurement

16:09 Jan 11, 2021
German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Health Care / Cardiovascular diseases
German term or phrase: AB
This abbreviation appears as part of a medical report on surgery involving an IPG.

Technik: ITN, AB, BL, steriles Abwaschen und Abdecken über dem IPG, Eröffnung der Wunder und Bergung des IPG.

I think ITN = Intubationsnarkose
BL = Bauchlage

I just can't think what AB stands for.

agree  Steffen Walter: Möglich, aber unsicher. Ist ein IPG dasselbe wie ein (A)ICD?/Antwort: Der ICD ist (nur) ein Defi, der IPG dagegen ein Schrittmacher. Laut https://silo.tips/download/herzschrittmacher-defibrillatoren... (S. 102) gibt's das auch als Kombination./Antibiose?

  -> Danke, Steffen - ja, ganz sicher ist hier nichts.
agree  Anne Schulz: Ich könnte mir vom OP-Vorbereitungs-Ablauf her auch so etwas wie "Arterienkatheter/Blasenkatheter" vorstellen. (Beim Diktat kann man "A/B" und "AB" ja nicht immer unterscheiden.)
