English term

dyspnea

COVID-19 GBK English to Swedish Medical Medical (general)
Definition from Mayo Clinic:
Shortness of breath — known medically as dyspnea — is often described as an intense tightening in the chest, air hunger, difficulty breathing, breathlessness or a feeling of suffocation. Very strenuous exercise, extreme temperatures, obesity and higher altitude all can cause shortness of breath in a healthy person. Outside of these examples, shortness of breath is likely a sign of a medical problem.
Example sentences:
Timing of dyspnea may be one of the most important hallmarks of COVID-19 coronavirus infection, especially for clinicians seeing patients in an ambulatory setting, experts argued. (MedPage Today)
Admission to the intensive care unit and mechanical ventilation should be considered in patients with dyspnea and diffuse radiological findings. (National Center for Biotechnology Info.)
Intensive care and airway management are indicated for patients displaying signs of respiratory failure (e.g., dyspnea with hypoxemia, respiratory rate > 30/min). (AMBOSS)
