Spanish term

colocar SV

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
Hi all -

I am translating a document which includes notes written by the nurses providing care.

I am uncertain what colocar SV n° 14 refers to. This is the contect:

Se saca sangre para analítica. Se intenta colocar SV n° 14 pero no se puede por lo que dejamos colector. Se retira mascarilla con reservorio y una hora después baja saturación a 98% por lo que se vuelve a colocar.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Sonda/sondaje Vesical = vesical catheter

This makes sense to me based on "por lo que dejamos colector"

agree Charles Davis : I find this very convincing: it fits the context perfectly and also accounts for "nº 14".

Spanish term (edited): SV 14

válvula magnética SV 14

This may be part of the tubing for a Volumetric Syringe. Then the SV could be solenoid valve = válvula magnética.
