Hi all -
I am translating a medical intake form for a hospital in Quebec.
There is an entry which reads:NM: Soluté: NS 80cc/h
The fuller context:
GI: Souple BI+
Glycémie: 6.2
NM: Soluté: NS 80cc/h
HI: Afébrile
I am not sure what NM stands for. Soluté I suspect is solute in English.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

solution or fluid
In Quebec, "soluté" refers to a solution, especially an IV solution or fluid. In this case, assuming that "NS" stands for normal saline, the drip rate would be 80 cc/hr.

"NM" doesn't ring any bells, but "nouveau médicament", which ltc42 suggests, sounds very plausible.

Incidentally, Djordjević’s Dictionnaire de médecine gives “solution” for “soluté”. Here is one of many examples on the Internet: “Préparation d'un soluté intraveineux et vidange d'air de la tubulure.”

BI - No idea; same as above
NS - I googled: Solute: NS: 80cc/hr. and found entries referring to it in English. It may therefore be a valid acronym I don't need to do anything with
HI - It must refer somehow to the patient's body temperature. Whle I have nto yet found the proper equivalent abbreviation/acronym in English I was going to move on and attempt to logic it out later today/evening.
Sorry I have not giving you much of an answer to your post. Michael
