The patient's melange of ailments include: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, hypertensive cardiomyopathy, LVH, diabetic retinopathy, glove and stocking peripheral neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy and is NYHA functional class I. Nothing specific about respiratory problems, however, along with the patient's advanced age, quite a debilitating health condition.
DLyons Sep 30, 2014:
More typically associated with breathing problems. But quite conceivably, the amount of usage of a respirator would be mentioned in the course of a general consultation.

"circling the drain" is an amusing phrase, when it's not somebody one knows.
spanruss (asker) Sep 30, 2014:
Could this be oxygen, or O2? Would an elderly diabetic patient with heart problems and multiple ailments be inclined to list the number of times they typically take oxygen in a day?

Proposed translations

10 hrs

24-hour dosage regime

As Helena says, nychthemeron. The 5X looks like a drug to be taken 5 times in that 24-hour period. What the O-2 might be (even as a typo) baffles me.

Two tablets, 5 times each 24-hrs?

0-2 <- 10^(-2) ? e.g. hundredth of (mg)?

Reference:

Nictémero

The English translation is Nychthemeron, but I don't know what 5XO-2 could refer to.

Nychthemeron /nɪkˈθɛmərɒn/, occasionally nycthemeron or nuchthemeron (Greek νυχθήμερον from the words nykt- "night", and hemera "day, daytime") is a period of 24 consecutive hours. It is sometimes used, especially in technical literature, to avoid the ambiguity inherent in the term day.

It is the period of time that a calendar normally labels with a date.

nictémero, ra.
(Del gr. νύξ, νυκτός, noche, y ἡμέρα, día).
1. adj. Biol. Que tiene la duración de un solo día.

4. m. Fenómeno que se repite cada 24 horas.
