English term or phrase: NC
Hi, I'm translating a medical report, from english (USA) to spanish (Latin America). There's one sentence I don't get: Resp stable on continuous 02 by NC. This sentence is in the section: "Review of other systems"

It's obvious to me that "Resp" stands for "respiration" but what does "NC" mean??? The target audience is the patient itself. Thanks for your help!!!
