Portuguese term or phrase: Fuga em flexão à dor
Hi, this term is part of a list describing the patients state on arriving at hospital for emergency treatment. It follows this phrase:

"À data da transferência apresenta-se:"

The list also includes the following items:
Sem sedação. Analgesia com paracetamol lg SOS. GCS 9T. Pupilas isocóricas e fotorreativas. Tosse espontânea. Sob LVT 500mg 12/12h. Sem registo de crises convulsivas.

The term itself comes after GCS 9T in this list.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks.
