French term

AAI transitoire sur RS lent

French to English Science Medical (general) hospital report
In a report on an infant who has undergone surgery for congenital heart defects: "pas de problème rhythmique, AAI transitoire sur RS lent". I've found one French site suggesting that AAI is an abbreviation for "stimulation de l'oreillette à la demande", but not much luck in English, nor for RS. Can anyone shed any light on this? TIA.

sorry, that's "rythme sinusal" in French of course

Peer comment(s):

agree Elena Sgarbo (X) : Perhaps "temporary" (rather than "transient") is the preferred adjective in this case (unless "transitoire" is used to mean "intermittent"...). Regards, Sue :-))

Hi Elena - yep I regretted transient as soon as I wrote it, lol. I'd lean slightly more towards "intermittent" but it's a little ambiguous
