French term

réveil adaptée de la patiente

French to English Medical Medical (general) intensive care
This is in a discharge report - in the summary of progress in intensive care:

La patiente présente un réveil adaptée de la patiente, mais aussi par un tableau de déficit moteur global probablement multifactoriel (inflation hydro-sodée, amyotrophie, polyneuropathie de réanimation), freinant le sevraage ventilatoire.

My (literal) attempt is:
The patient presented with "patient adapted waking" and also global motor deficit, which was probably multifactorial (sodium and water retention, amyotrophy, intensive care polyneuropathy), preventing ventilator weaning.

All help appreciated, I have no idea what it is gettiing at!

Thanks in advance

Katie
Proposed translations (English)

Yes, flag it to the client. My contribution was only based on some sort of logic:)
SJLD Mar 16, 2012:
I would ask the client or at least flag it. It doesn't make much sense to me and I have been speaking French on a daily basis for 30 years, translating for over 20.
katiededman (asker) Mar 15, 2012:
Sadly it is the author's mistakes, not mine. I think Liz has hit the nail on the head with the spontaneous/uneventful awakening. I have chosen spontaneous as that fit the text best.

Thanks everyone for your inputs and comments. :o)
SJLD Mar 15, 2012:
Basically, the French is a bit dodgy, which makes me think there is an error somewhere - strange expression in any case.
SJLD Mar 15, 2012:
What is the diagnosis? Stroke? Has the pt been sedated?

Are the mistakes the author's or yours?
réveil adapté(e)
adapté de rather than adapté à
présente... (par) un tableau

amyotrophy - muscle wasting?
intensive care polyneuropathy - aka critical care/illness (poly)neuropathy
liz askew Mar 15, 2012:
The previous paragraph would be helpful..

Brought around/ brought back to consciousness (in a patient friendly way)

That's to say, in a flexible, personalised way, taking into account the patient and their history. Here's an informative and amusing link:
