Medical history
... a seguito di un malessere avvenuto intorno alle 15.00. Paz ipotesa, riferisce dispnea e sudorazione. parametri nella norma, ma vengono messi occhialini a 2 lt. I sintomi regrediscono.
I'm proofreading a translation and this term has been translated as "goggles with two lenses" which sounds really strange to me.
Could this be oxygen therapy using some sort of mask administering 2 lt oxygen per minute?
Thanks!

: Complimenti al traduttore di questa perla! :/ C'è un'invasione di "wannabe medical translators". A me fa solo piacere, queste cose giustificano le mie tariffe ;))
