Medical (general)
Italian term or phrase: astanteria-pensionanti
Two terms in a medical document listing the number of beds/cases in each department. Can anyone suggest a good online Italian-English medical source?

Thanks

Fast-track accident and emergency
Explanation:
My understanding is that astenteria is the section in A@E set aside for dealing with critical cases so that an initial diagnosis can be made rapidly and decisions taken as to next stage of care.
I don't think pensionanti is the same as pensionati (i.e retired persons) - does it not mean residents (or whatever the equivalent is in the hospital field)?

Explanation:
Scusa, non sapevo della lunga diatriba ma io, se non ci sono altre indicazioni in merito, preferisco usare il British English.

diego, io avevo capito che si trattava di una lista in cui si fa riferimento ai vari \"department\" dell\'ospedale con i rispettivi casi avuti...in questo caso:

in astanteria ci sono stati tot. pensionati...

per questo:

emergency room (o accident & emergency v. Kudoz glossaries)- No. of Retirees

che ne dite?

per questo ho messo il \"vedi Kudoz glossaries\"...perchè sapevo che su Proz c\'era già stata una lunga diatriba su come chiamare il pronto soccorso...
In realtà noi però non sappiamo se il testo da tradurre è destinato a UK o a US english readers!
