Brain injury discharge report
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help me with the phrase "En espontánea" in a patient discharge report for a Traumatic Brain Injury patient.
The context is describing his current state, "En espontánea, hemodínámicamente estable, Glasgow 15."
I know with brain trauma patients they are assessed using the Glasgow Coma Scale for being able to do actions spontaneously (e.g. eye opening), but it's the exact phrasing I'm looking for. Maybe I have to add a word or two in the ENG?
Thanks so much in advance if anyone can help!

Ciudadano cubano de 80 años de edad. Municipio. Santa Clara. Provincia. Villa Clara. Antecedentes Patológicos Personales: Hipertensión Arterial y Diabetes Mellitus Tipo II. Se encuentra en la Terapia Intensiva, afebril, alimentándose por gastrostomía ventilando en espontánea con oxígeno suplementario. Hemodinámicamente estable. Buen ritmo diurético. Mejor control glicémico luego de la insulinoterapia. Gasometría hiponatremia ligera en corrección, resto dentro de parámetros aceptables. Lesiones de partes blandas sin empeoramiento. Rx de tórax. Mejoría radiológica. Discreto velo en región hilio basal derecha. Reportado de crítico estable.

Conclusion: Hypoventilation can be detected reliably by pulse oximetry only when patients breathe room air. In patients with spontaneous ventilation, supplemental oxygen often masked the ability to detect abnormalities in respiratory function in the PACU.

Tras ello, se utilizaron todos los dispositivos (ventilación no invasiva, oxigenoterapia) y fármacos (diuréticos y adrenalina racémica) necesarios para mantener al paciente en respiración espontánea. Si esto fracasaba, se reintubaba al paciente.
