GN a 2L/min

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
I am unsure what GN is here.

Constantes vitales:
TA 140/70 mm/Hg, FC 45 lpm, Sp02 (GN a 2L/min) 95%

Thanks

Hi Adam: I think Shiroguma is right - I was thinking of nasal cannula(e), having forgotten about "gafas". http://www.thebasehospital.com/SpO2.htm http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8499205
Adam Burman (asker) Apr 20, 2008:
Hi Rachel: It is definitely GN. Any thoughts?
Rachel Fell Apr 20, 2008:
Are you sure it is "GN" and not "CN"?

NC at 2 L/min

GN = Gafas Nasales = Nasal Cannula or Nasal Prong.
I'm using the abbreviation NC, since GN is being used.

SpO2 (GN 2 L/min) = 95%.
Oxygen Saturation Percentage (while administering oxygen via Nasal Cannula on a 2 liters per minute dosage) is 95%.

Thank you~!:)
agree Beatriz Pérez : Se administrará en gafas nasales (GN) a un flujo de 1-3 L/min o bien con mascarilla tipo Venturi (VM) al 24-28 %.

agree Lia Fail (X) : I think it¡s what Rachel says, CN = cateter nasal, nasal catheter.

agree Alvaro Aliaga : Even though Adam is pretty sure it's "GN" I think Rachel Fell is right, this should be CN.

Thank you~!:) I think it's GN for "gafas nasales" which is acceptable.
neutral slothm : If it is a highly technical paper then liters=l and minutes=m. Should read 2l/m. Min., min. is minimum and L is electronical.

In medicine (at least in the US and Peru), the symbol for liter is "L" (upper case) because writing 1l might lead to confusion since 1 and l ressemble so much in writing. Also "min" is used for minutes, since "m" is used for meters.

GN (Glomerulonephritis) 2L/mn

Simply a suggestion:
"Diagnosing the pattern of GN is important because the outcome and treatment differs in different types. Primary causes are one which are intrinsic to the kidney, whilst secondary causes are associated with certain infections (bacterial, viral or parasitic pathogens), drugs, systemic disorders (SLE, vasculitis) or cancers."
