German term

AF im Niveau

German to English Medical Medical (general) Pediatric physical examination
This is from a German medical report, examination of a 4 1/2 month year old boy.

In the "Aufnahmebefund" section:

"... leicht blasses Hautkolorit, AF im Niveau, Pulmo seitengleich belüftet"

I think "AF" probably means "Atemfrequenz", or breath rate, but just would like confirmation or rebuttal from native German speaker or someone else in the field. In my experience, "im Niveau" with an infant usually refers to the Fontanelle, but never saw "AF" as abbreviation for that.

Thanks!

anterior fontanelle normal (not tense nor bulging or sunken)

"Im Niveau" wouldn't make any sense here in terms of respiratory rate.
I'm pretty sure about this...

Anterior fontanelle and "Große Fontanelle" mean the same in DE/EN.

THX, Don!
agree Anne Schulz : Mir fällt zu "im Niveau" auch nichts anderes als "Fontanelle" ein – "anteriore Fontanelle" gibt viele Schweizer Refs; vielleicht ist es ein Schweizerischer Text.
