SOD

English translation: NOS (not otherwise specified)

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Cardiology
Spanish term or phrase: SOD
From a Colombian medical chart:

Ordenes de Servicio:
*ELECTROCARDIOGRAMA DE RITMO O DE SUPERFICIE SOD

Pardon the capital letters here, but that's how it is in the document, and I can't tell if the "O" and the "SOD" are abbreviations.

This document contains numerous typographical errors. Therefore, it is possible that the "O" is an error.

Explanation:
I've never seen this before, so my certainly is only medium. But here is one mention of this:

"SOD Sin otra desagregación. Esta sigla advierte que sólo se usa cuando no se necesite especificar el detalle del procedimiento; equivale a «No especificado (a) de otra manera». En la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades en español se usa la sigla latina SAI. "

(Also, I certainly meant "certainTy" in my sentence above.)

Another place where I find SOD translated as "sin otra desagregación" ... I'm copying the sentence just as I found it on the site:

"30) SOD. Sin Otra Desagregación". La sigla se usa, para indicar que el procedimiento o intervención en donde se registra, el manual no lo especifica bajo otro código en detalle. "

agree  Emma Goldsmith: Hi Joseph. I've got to translate this "SOD" in exactly the same context as Spanruss. I've spent about half an hour investigating it and your suggestion seems to be the most plausible. Thanks for solving this problem!

agree  Lourdes Zalcik: I am also trying to find the meaning of 'SOD' (Laparoscopía diagnóstica SOD) The propossed translation would fit in this context but I want to be sure.

neutral  Joseph Tein: Hi Joel ... I don't think it fits in this context -- "Ordenes de Servicio" is the heading. ¿Qué me decís?
