In einem Arztschreiben ueber einen Herzpatienten: Komplizierend trat ein ausgepraegtes Leistenhaematom auf (dopplersonographisch kein Hinweis fuer Aneurysma oder AV-Fistel); bei minimalem Hb von 0.0 g/dl substituierten wir den Patienten mit 2EKs.

Sind damit Echokardiographien geimeint? Gibt es dafuer auch eine engl. Abkuerzung?

ECG


Explanation:
From Pchyrembel, it appears that "EK" is another term for "EKG" (Elektrokardiogramm), and the above is the English equivalent of EKG, electrocardiogram.

If you go with the less formal \"red blood cell concentrate\", the abbreviation should be \"RBCC\", not \"RBC\" as you entered in the glossary!
