see below Explanation: I know even less about medicine than other things, but could it be that bauchdecken-fern is a compound adverb modifying anbringen. If that were true then it could mean something like: "The ??ratchet?? clamp should be re-positioned daily, as far as possible from the abdominal wall or even better, left open if no stomach return flow (or return flow from the stomach) is observed." If you can, it would be better to wait because there are some ProZ members who know a lot about medicine. An answer from one of them would be much better. |

away from the abdominal wall Explanation: I assume the clamp is placed on the gastrostomy tube, and it is to be placed where it cannot damage the tissue from which the tube emerges. |

Reflux = Rücklauf Explanation: Great answer, Dan! Bauchdecken-fern is "away from the abdominal wall", i.e. they don't want the clamp to touch the musculature. One suggestion: return flow is reflux from the tube. The clamp is used only when there's a problem with reflux of stomach contents; otherwise it's left open but must be moved on a daily basis to keep the tissue to which it's attached from necrotizing. |
