Description

Placental insufficiency refers to the condition where the placenta does not supply adequate nutrients and oxygen to the fetus, potentially leading to complications during pregnancy. This condition can result in growth restrictions and other adverse outcomes for the developing fetus.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware of variations such as 'insuficiencia placentaria crónica' or 'insuficiencia placentaria aguda' that may arise in conversations. It is crucial to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms that may confuse the patient or provider. Always use the canonical term to ensure clarity in medical discussions.

Example Sentences

EN: The doctor diagnosed the patient with placental insufficiency after reviewing the ultrasound results.

ES: El médico diagnosticó a la paciente con insuficiencia placentaria después de revisar los resultados de la ecografía.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'insuficiencia placentaria' with 'insuficiencia renal'; mispronouncing 'placentaria' as 'placentaria'; using informal language instead of clinical terms.
