Hospital Discharge Report
Good afternoon,
This is from a Hospital Discharge Report I'm translating for someone I actually know who recently had a narrow escape from a serious case of septicaemia, and was in intensive care for two weeks.
It's from the part of the report detailing the "exploración" carried out the day after he was admitted, when he had been stabilised after a blood transfusion, etc. I'm at a loss as to what to use for "intermedio" here, and would appreciate your help.
CONTEXT:
"Exploración
Estado general intermedio, consciente y desorientado en lugar y tiempo. Bien hidratado y perfundido, normocoloreado. Obeso.
SIGNOS VITALES: 140/80 37.5ºC, Sp02 basal 96%, FR 30rpm (basal). FC 84ppm."

: I like "fair" and I would use "condition" rather than "general health" in this context.

Note from asker:
Hi Liz, yeah "estado general intermediario" gets 108 hits on the entire internet, so definitely not a standard term used here. I'm thinking "critical but stable" might be closest to what was actually meant here maybe, based on my direct knowledge of how the patient (a personal friend) was on day 2 in the ICU. Then again, "critical but stable" seems a far call from "estado general intermediario" in terms of translation... what to do?! |
Discussion
"Fair medical condition" could well be what was intended.
I would rather prefer to write or read the examination details, unless in emergency cases using triage.
- Deceased
- Critical
- Critical but stable
- Stable
- Satisfactory
- Comfortable
- Progressing well
- Discharged
