Medical - Medical: Cardiology
Danish term or phrase: tævrtomi
This relates to the insertion of catheters for ECMO in a patient with severe cardiogenic shock. The text reads:
"Tævrtomi på kåret"

I can't find any information at all about this word online, so maybe it's a misspelling or similar.

Thanks.

English translation:transverse dissection
Explanation:
The 'tævr' part is most likely 'tvær', and 'tomi' is dissection. Not a cross-section view, which would be 'tværsnit', but rather an actual surgical dissection.

'Tværtom', which is a synonym of 'tværtimod', is probably a red herring here.
