Hola!
This is from a cardiology report in the 'Comentario y Evolucion' section:
A su ingreso en UCI, se procede a monitorización. Se administra doble antiagregación y anticoagulación y tras asegurar la ausencia de contraindicaciones para la terapia fibrinolítica se administra TNK. A los 90 minutos cumple criterios clínicos y electrocardiografías de reperfusión miocárdica.
Presenta una racha de TV sostenida sin repercusión clínica ni hemodinámica. El paciente se mantiene asintomático, eupneico con GN, sin crepitantes a la auscultación y con buena diuresis espontaneas.
Muchas gracias de antemano!

nasal cannulas
First, from old Proz entry
"GN = gafas nasales"
https://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish-to-english/medical/185263...
In this and many other references,
"El paciente evoluciona favorablemente y tras 72 horas alternando la PAP nasal con el VMK es posible el manejo de la oxigenación con gafas nasales (GN) convencionales a 3 l /min."
https://anestesiar.org/2020/superno2va-en-pacientes-criticos...
Here are some examples
https://www.henryschein.es/es-es/medicina/p/terapia-respirat...
https://www.dhmaterialmedico.com/gafa-de-oxigeno-adulto-soft...
And here in English
"Nasal cannulas are used to deliver oxygen when a low flow, low or medium concentration is required, and the patient is in a stable state."
https://www.nursingtimes.net/clinical-archive/respiratory-cl...
"Nasal cannulas are medical devices used when people are unable to get sufficient oxygen to keep their body functioning optimally, whether that's due to a condition like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), another respiratory disorder, or an environmental change. Nasal cannulas (and the oxygen sources they connect to) are lightweight, easy to use, and affordable. They may be used in a variety of hospital settings, at home, or on-the-go."

I found one hit with "eupneico con GN a 2 lpm", which I assume is litres per minute.
