fluctuating level(s) of consciousness Explanation: I always translate "sensorio" as "consciousness". I would say "fluctuating" is the usual collocation in this context; a very quick literature search supports it. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2015-08-29 07:04:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Some quick and dirty references/example sentences: The clinical hallmarks of delirium are decreased attention span and a waxing and waning type of confusion. Symptoms include the following: [...] Fluctuating levels of consciousness http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/288890-overview "Delirium is characterized by an acute change (usually over hours to days) in mental status. Patients demonstrate fluctuating levels of consciousness..." http://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/0301/p1027.html A less technical, but perhaps more idiomatic, rendering would be "drifting in and out of consciousness". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2015-08-29 07:15:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Always happy to help, Joseph :) Nice to hear from you too! |
