Spanish term or phrase: ayuno hno
These are the medical notes of a comatose person in a Intensive care unit.
It lists a lot of things and this is the first:
Ayuno hno.
It appears in every medical note of this report. I don't know what "hno" stands for.
Many thanks.

agree  Dr. Jason Faulkner: Nil by mouth. Now that's really going back to the source. Usually, I just write NPO (or AHNO in Spanish), but your's is the absolute correct textbook answer. I seem to remember that on an exam oh so many years ago. Cheers, LiZ!
