insulă-barieră

Definition from Source Curs Facultatea de Geografie, Uni:
insule bariera, (engl.= barrier islands), (pl.), corpuri alungite, paralele cu linia tarmului, discontinui, ce separa selful continental marin de domeniul lagunar; i.b. apar in ape putin adanci, in zone de self cu inclinare mica. Dimensiunea i.b. depinde de aportul de sedimente si tipul de curenti litorali; ating lungimi de zeci de km si se formeaza atat la regresiune, cat si la transgresiune.
Example sentences:
Ultima data am fost pe insula Sf. Gheorghe, care este una dintre cele patru insule barieră de protecţie. (ROARTICLES)
Note from asker:
Credo il medico non sia di nazionalità tedesca. "Endovenös" heißt auf Deutsch "intravenös", und "Erwartung" stammt wahrscheinlich ebenfalls von einem Italiener, gehört ganz sicher nicht zum deutschen Sprachgebrauch (möglicherweise ist gemeint "in differita", "in attesa" oder ähnliches). Möglicherweise ist gemeint (am Beispiel Lasix): 1 Einheit (2 ml) sofort, 1 Einheit später, bei Bedarf.
