German term or phrase: EK

In einem Arztschreiben ueber einen Herzpatienten: Komplizierend trat ein ausgepraegtes Leistenhaematom auf (dopplersonographisch kein Hinweis fuer Aneurysma oder AV-Fistel); bei minimalem Hb von 0.0 g/dl substituierten wir den Patienten mit 2EKs.

Sind damit Echokardiographien geimeint? Gibt es dafuer auch eine engl. Abkuerzung?

Clarification request(s) and response

Christine Lam (asker): 6:36pm Sep 4, 2004: For Gilberto: would this mean the patient was substituted with 2 doses of packed red blood cells?
Gilberto Lacchia: 6:39pm Sep 4, 2004: Yes, I think so. Usually the PRBCs "doses" are called "units". -

Erythrozytenkonzentrat

Explanation:
This seems to make more sense: due to the blood loos, the patient received two units of red blood cells.

ECG

Explanation:
From Pchyrembel, it appears that "EK" is another term for "EKG" (Elektrokardiogramm), and the above is the English equivalent of EKG, electrocardiogram.

If you go with the less formal \"red blood cell concentrate\", the abbreviation should be \"RBCC\", not \"RBC\" as you entered in the glossary!
