Medical - Medical (general) / Discharge summary
Spanish term or phrase: PCV
The following appears at the start of a discharge summary (location not indicated) for a patient who underwent a TAVI procedure on 21/12 and suffered a stroke on 23/12:

"Traslado desde PCV a día 29/12."

There are no further references to "PCV" in the report.

I have considered "Patología Cardiovascular" (Cardiovascular Diseases) and "Programa Cardiovascular" (Cardiovascular Program), but I'm not at all sure.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,
John

Cerebrovascular Program


Explanation:
Without more context, it's a bit difficult, but this may be of help -

Mechanical pressure ventilation


Explanation:
From the context, I understand that the patient had a surgery and needed oxygen theraphy. There are several kind of oxygen therapies and I detail all of them below in Spanish:

* Ventilación Controlada a Presión. PCV.
* Ventilación con relación I:E invertida.
* Hipercapnia permisiva.
* Ventilación mandatoria minuto. VMM.
* Ventilación con liberación de presión. APRV.
* Presión bifásica positiva en la vía aérea. BIPAP.
* Ventilación de alta frecuencia. HFV.

Therefore I think my proposal is the best translation, but I am not English native speaker so you you double check my term once understood.

Example sentence(s):
  • In pressure-controlled ventilation, the ventilator maintains a set airway pressure for a given inspiratory time.
  • Pressure-controlled ventilation (page 454) is the preferred technique in most centres to avoid alveolar overdistension.
