Portuguese term

8/8 horas

Portuguese to English Medical Medical (general) Fetal laparoscopy
Em relação ao procedimento cirúrgico, as complicações mais comuns foram a perda de líquido amniótico para a cavidade peritoneal materna em um caso e rotura prematura de membranas em três casos para a retirada do balão.
Em todos os casos as pacientes eram hidratadas com solução de Ringer com lactato (10 mL.kg-1.hora).
Após a cirurgia, a gestante permaneceu no hospital por pelo menos 24 horas, em repouso relativo, em uso de nifedipina via oral (20 mg; de 8/8 horas) e analgésicos, de acordo com a necessidade.

Not quite sure what they mean by 8/8 horas - 8 out of 8 hours?

Thanks,

Juliette

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Mario Freitas

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Mario Freitas Jul 4, 2017:
Laziness! It's hard to tell what the author meant. 8/8 theoretically should mean 8 out of eight, as suggested by the asker. But it does look like the author meant "at every 8 hours" but was too lazy to write it down and used the undue "8/8". For translation purposes, I'll vote for Luciano's suggestion. But if this person was a student in my class, they'd surely lose some points for this.

agree ortholingua : Se a receita diz “1 comprimido de 8 em 8 horas”, tomam-se 3 comprimidos por dia: um ao amanhecer, um ao meio do dia e um ao deitar.
