Italian term

posizione spezzata

Italian to English Medical Medical (general)
From a medical report (abdomen surgery): "il paziente mantiene la posizione spezzata a letto".

Is there a specific term for "spezzata"? I think it couldn't be a "jacknife" position given the region of the surgery.

Thanks in advance
Proposed translations (English)
3 Fowler’s position

dandamesh Jun 5, 2023:
penso voglia dire che il paziente si appoggerà al girello per camminare, mantenendo il busto piegato anziché eretto, che poi penso sia naturale per proteggere i punti

Update Scusate, ma procedendo con la traduzione ho trovato quest'altra frase che invece di aiutare complica maggiormente la situazione.

"Il paziente può deambulare con girello in posizione spezzata"

?!?

Non c'è altro. Ho controllato.
Luigi Argentino (asker) Jun 5, 2023:
@liz Thanks for your clues. I think that Dandamesh could be right because I noted that the Fowler's position is the one used after appendectomy. If there are any other suggestions, I'll gladly take them into consideration. Thanks

Reference:

La paziente viene ricoverata per circa due notti, mantiene una posizione semi seduta sul letto, con un cuscino sotto le cosce e due cuscini dietro il torace, in maniera tale da essere chiamata posizione spezzata

When standing and laying you should expect to remain in a bent over position at the waist for 7-10 days after surgery. DO NOT LIE FLAT – support your back with two pillows and bend your knees. These positions lessen the tension on the suture
lines.

Not knowing the exact angle (Fowler, semi-Fowler or High Fowler), it may be safer to keep it more general

any clues here?

Nel caso si utilizzi una posizione laterale spezzata il paziente va posto sul punto di snodo del letto e bisogna fare
attenzione al riposizionamento del letto in posizione iniziale in modo da prevenire danni da compressione dei supporti,
posti per mantenere nella corretta posizione il paziente durante l’intervento

By the way

is your first example about the patient before surgery?


this would be the case here:

Dopo anestesia generale, il paziente è posto in decubito laterale, con il letto operatorio “spezzato”
