French term

éveil adapté

French to English Medical Medical (general) Cardiac Arrest Treatment
"Malgré l'arrêt des sédations, très rapidement, le patient ne présente aucun signe d'éveil adapté mais une désadaptation de la ventilation mécanique avec désaturation concomitante. Une sédation par Propofol est instaurée de manière intermittente afin d'adapter le patient à sa ventilation mécanique et de permettre une réévaluation neurologique pluriquotidienne. Malgré un contrôle des agressions cérébrales secondaires, le patient à J4 ne présente toujours aucun signe d'éveil adapté."

From a report about a patient admitted to intensive care with cardiac arrest. I can't make any sense whatsoever out of "éveil adapté". Well, I know "éveil" is awakening or something along those lines, so it's really "adapté" I can't figure out. The whole usage of "adapter" in this text (and ESPECIALLY "désadaptation" - please see my separate query for that) has me quite utterly defeated. It's not used in an orthodox way at all, but has some specific meaning or meanings (to do with ventilation, I think) well beyond my grasp. TIA for any light you can shed on this extremely confusing expression.

@Anne: thanks
Anne Schulz Jul 11, 2016:
I agree - something along the lines of "no adequate responses (to stimuli)". Why don't you post it as an answer, dwt2?
dwt2 Jul 11, 2016:
I think "adapté" here means "responsive" in the sense of responding to stimuli, commands etc. It is a key stage in recovery from coma - see for example http://www.rainbowrehab.com/pages/understanding-stages-coma/
How to translate the whole phrase ? Possibly by "responsiveness"

And it can be easily entered into the KOG too! But thanks anyway to the others who offered an idea - appreciate everyone's help."
