agree  Otto Albers (X): stat: comes from the Latin word STATIM (inmediately), and in medicine it is used to imply one dose of medication given once.

neutral  M. C. Filgueira: En castellano, lo usual en este caso es «inmediatamente»; la abreviatura «stat» no es de uso corriente. Saludos.

agree  Carmen Gabás: I agree with all the comments but please note that in everyday practice using "stat" also implies that only one dose will be given. I believe "sta" is "stat" misspelled.
