Medical - Medical (general)
German term or phrase: Luftflüssigkeitsspiegel
Another term from a medical report referring to an abdominal examination:

"*Luftflüssigkeitsspiegel* und somit ein Ileus wie auch freie Luft intraperitoneal sind nicht sichtbar."

Visible in an x-ray and indicative of an ileus. What is it in English though?

TIA, David.
