Medical - Medical: Cardiology / RIGHT HEART CATHETERIZATION

Spanish term or phrase: BI

Dear colleagues, I'm translating a report from Argentina on a right heart catheterization for pulmonary hypertension. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) is used. There is a chart showing 11 readings across the top, and two rows of readings below. The readings across the top are Fc, TA, PADm, PFD, PAP, PWm, VMC, IC, RVS, (dina.seg/cm (-5), RVP (dinsa/seg/cm (-5), and RVP (UW). I understand all of those. The two rows are labeled "B I" and "TEST SNP".

I understand everything except "B I". I think the I is for Izquierdo/a and all I can find for the B is bronchus or brazo, but neither of these seems right for the number and type of measurements being made. Can anybody familiar with cardiac catheterization, especially a right heart catheterization, help me out? Many thanks in advance.

bomba de infusión - infusion pump

Explanation:
I'm choosing Medium certainty because I can't visualize this document you're describing. However, I find online that sodium nitroprusside and infusion pumps belong together:

"Must be administered via infusion pump"

What do you think?

By the way, I get BI = bomba de infusión from our newest Spanish medical acronym treasure trove: a just-published book by Ian Beattie called "Medical Abbreviations Spanish-English / Abreviaturas Medicas Español-Inglés.
