Medical - Medical (general) / Nursing care for stroke patient
Spanish term or phrase: SRTP en PC
The above appears in the following context, in a nursing report for a stroke patient in Spain:
Paciente hemodinámicamente estable aunque somnoliento y desorientado, con tendencia a retirarse el VMK. Normotenso, normocárdio y afebril.
Pasando SRTP en PC 2.000 ml con 10 Meq de CLK/SF 0.9% + dieta absoluta.
A la exploración física el paciente presenta desviación de comisura bucal izquierda. Parece que su lenguaje es normal obedeciendo a órdenes verbales…

I have been unable to determine what "SRTP en PC" indicates here. It would appear to refer to IV administration of medication, but not something that I have come across.

Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
John

IV repletion
Explanation:
SRTP refers to "Sueroterapia", basically rehydration therapy through an IV.
PC refers to "percutáneo", which translates to percutaneous.
So it could translate as "IV repletion with 2,000 ml saline with 10 Meq of..."

I don't have any sources for this because it is something that is written on patients' charts. Nurses and doctors tend to use shortened terms to save writting time. I apologize on behalf of the doctors, I have done so myself in the past, but in the long run it complicates things for others. Many times health staff came up with their own original acronyms or shortened words which is even worse.
