German term

AP-Fördermenge

German to English Medical Medical (general)
From the discharge report of a patient who underwent an ileostomy.

"Die AP-Fördermenge stabilisierte sich auf eine durchschnittlich Menge von 1500 ml."

The paragraph in which this expression is found describes the patient's feeding and nutrition in the post-operative period.
I take it this is the amount of fluid being pumped into the patient, rather than the amount of waste coming out..... but until I know what "AP" is, I can't be certain.

output via the stoma

Maybe AP denotes 'Anus präter' (preterminal anus = stoma)
