Italiano term

impegno interstizio alveolare

Da Italiano a Inglese Medico/Sanitario Medicina (generale) Chest X-ray
In a patient's progress notes during hospitalization. He was hospitalized for chest pain and underwent emergency double bypass surgery:

Stato neurologico integro
Emodinamicamente stabile
scambi EGA nei limiti all'Rx torace *impegno interstizio alveolare* esegue cicli di CPAP
[no punctuation in the source]

The closest I come to "impegno" in this context are the words effort/involvement (could it be "compromise"?) ... but the whole phrase escapes me!

Thanks again.

It's "impegno interstizio-alveolare"

Morning Joe - in fact that should be "infiltrates" rather than "infiltration".

See reference to ground glass appearance in first link >> sign of infiltrates

Ground-Glass Opacity

Ground-glass opacity results from interstitial thickening and/or alveolar exudate. The edematous interlobular septum and the thinner interstitial infiltrates would have a ground-glass opacity whereas the larger infiltrates correspond to reticular change.
