Danish term

KLAN-bv

Danish to English Medical Medical (general) airway problems, intubation, respiration
Indlagt...
Kendt med KOL, tiltagende dårligt respiratorisk ...
CO2 ophobning
Intuberet på afdelingen ved KLAN-bv

This patient has heart problems as well, and most of the context is about those.
Once again, it is a medical journal in very terse note form, so there are not a lot of clues.

Anyone know what KLAN-bv means or stands for?

Googling is no help at all!
I wondered if it could be the initials of the person who performed the intubation, but there seem to be a lot of letters.

Thanks for any suggestions!

This should be discussed in the forums, not here Thanks for your comments, but this is not the place for them.
While posting here is a great way to let us sharpen our skills, I came to the conclusion it is unethical to use the Kudoz board to translate terms on medical journals. Allow me to elaborate.
Kudoz is a group of independent translators competing against each other for a few points. While we are capable people, the factors in play, such as reputation and friendships, even internal politics, can put a patients life in jeopardy, because the factors I named can be used in a competitive manner and can be detrimental to professionalism.
The smart thing to do, and I have done this more than a couple of times, is call a central hospital up, ask to talk with a nurse, and perhaps you will need a doctor in the end, but most of the time, the staff is more than willing to provide you with information, perhaps an answer.
Please, withdraw the question.
Christine Andersen (asker) Jan 23, 2013:
It could indeed be a person I have found another ´bv´ who is certainly a ´bagvagt´.
But any other suggestions are still welcome - I don´t know what KLAN stands for here.

Q.E.D.
Note from asker:
Thanks, Sven. I know who the ´bagvagt´ is as a general concept - and the Klinisk Anæstesi sounds really good in this context.
Something went wrong...
