4 +4 | normal respiratory rate |
|
normal respiratory rate Explanation: It refers to the breathing pattern, particularly so to the respiratory rate. And so normodinámico means normal respiratory rate while hiperdinámico means high respiratory rate. la frecuencia respiratoria normal será de: 44 L/M ---- Al nacer 26 L/M ---- 5 años 20 L/M ---- 15-20 años 18 L/M ---- 20-25 años 16 L/M ---- 25-30 años 18 L/M ---- > 40 años Para describirlo en la historia clínica decimos si es normal: "Tórax Normodinámico" http://emmanuelsemiologiaquirurgicautesa.blogspot.com/2011/1... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 ore (2020-04-28 08:40:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As commented below to Anne, tórax normodinámico literally conveys normal chest (respiratory) movements. This normal breathing pattern informs of a normal respiratory rate. Tórax normodinámico can transform into tórax hiperdinámico or tórax hipodinámico. Again, it is the breathing pattern we are talking about, either a high or a low respiratory rate; literally, higher or lower than normal respiratory movements. Thinking it over though it is true that normodinámico also conveys normal breathing rhythm. And so you could go with normal respiratory rate and rhythm Although the more literal rendering also works in English; normal respiratory/chest movements which is probably the most accurate translation after all. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 ore (2020-04-28 22:10:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, sorry I left that L/M without a comment. Surely, it is pointing out to respiraciones por minuto. The numbers (44 at birth; 18 for adults) offer no doubt about that; no way those could be latidos por minuto. And yet, that L is rather weird and I can only guess about it. My gut feeling is it migh refer to "levantamientos torácicos" -which is actually a very weird denomination, although it could work-, as a reference to how many times per minute the chest moves "up" (the subject breaths in) -and so they are assessing breaths per minute by looking at the chest. |
