Medical - Medical (general)
French term or phrase: PME
It appears without a lot of context. At the end of a report regarding a patient that had stayed in the hospital a few days for a bypass intervention it says:

Congé demain
(vertical arrow pointing down) PME 40/10

It also appears in:
laparoscopy ++ bradycardia (PME 50/10)

It's a Canadian report, so they may be using English terms.

Reference: PME

Reference information:
As measured by some kind of a pump? See below (Italian, unfortunately) - may have nothing to do with anything, but "PME 40/10" does not look like a blood value to me
