AN

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Cardiology Healthcare Report - cardio
Hola!

This abbreviation appears on a cardiology medical report as follows:

Exploración física:

En planta: 138/65 mmHg a 70 lpm, SaO2 99%, afebril. "Paciente con buen estado general. Bien coloreado. Bien hidratado de piel y mucosas, normoperfundido. Sin lesiones cutáneas. AN: Glasgow: 15 puntos. Consciente y orientado, colaborador. Sin focalidad neurológica de vías largas. Cardiocirculatorio: tonos cardiacos rítmicos. No ausculto soplos. Pulsos periféricos y centrales palpables, simétricos y de buena intensidad. Buen relleno capilar. No edemas. No signo de trombosis venosa profunda. AR: murmullo vesicular conservado sin ruidos añadidos.

I am not sure if the 'A' stands for 'análisis' or something else: análisis neurológica/neurological assessment.

Any help appreciated!

Chema Nieto Castañón Nov 9, 2023:
In English you would say neurological exam here (y en castellano "exploración neurológica" sería lo más habitual).

Thanks for your efforts! I think I will go with aparato nervioso, as suggested by Hernan and Roni.
Quizás tienes razón, por el contexto fue también lo primero que pensé (análisis neurológico), si bien la expresión no es de uso frecuente.
Hernan Casasbuenas Nov 8, 2023:
Aparato nervioso I think this might work in this context.

Nervous system/neurological

"AN" stands for "aparato nervioso", "aparato" being a synomym for "sistema" in this case. So you could use "neurological" here, or "neuro", if you want an abbreviation - there is no common acronym that I know of.
Also, "AR" stands for "aparato respiratorio".
Suerte!
