English term

5 cc of morphine

English to French Medical Medical (general)
"The instruments were withdrawn and the knee was infiltrated with 5 cc of Marcaine and 5 mg of morphine."

I've found that "cc" is same as "mg", but I doubt it.

Thanks for the help!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

cc et ml sont deux mesures de volume équivalentes et interchangeables (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_cc_... Ce n'est pas le cas de mg qui est une mesure de poids. Dans ce cas, la concentration du médicament joue un rôle. Parfois 1 mg pourra équivaloir à 1 ml, mais pas toujours. Donc, vous pouvez changer cc pour ml (quoique ce ne soit pas nécessaire de le faire), mais ne changez surtout pas mg.

Marcaine 5 cc of Marcaine... the only thing I've found is cubic centimeters and I wanna know if that is right.
rokotas Mar 27, 2012:
cc is not the same as mg. if density (specific gravity) is 1, then 1cc = 1 mg. Otherwise the weight in mg = volume in cc X density (spec.gr.) in g/ml.
Jean-Louis S. Mar 27, 2012:
cc (volume) is not the same as mg (weight).
What is the question?
liz askew Mar 27, 2012:
Are you posting the query " 5cc of Marcaine" OR "5 mg of morphine"?

Cubic Centimeters is correct, although that's an old unit, and mL should be used instead.

5 cm3 de morphine

Il s'agit d'ampoules.
Il faut utiliser cm3 et non cc.

Voir : L’abréviation « cc » n’est pas celle de « centimètre cube » mais celle de l’anglais « cubic centimeter » ; son utilisation est prohibée, y compris dans les pays anglophones, par le « Système international d'unités » déterminé par le Bureau international des poids et mesures, seul organisme compétent en la matière. Ce système international d’unités impose les symboles m3, dm3, cm3, mm3, etc., dans quelque langue que ce soit. L’usage de cette abréviation, fort répandu notamment dans les milieux de la médecine et de la moto, n'est pas conforme au système international.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Joco : Dans la phrase citée par le demandeur, la morphine est administrée en mg.// Oui, cc est bien cm3 (mais à tord ou à raison, c'est cc qu'on voit). Cependant, dans la phrase citée par le demandeur, c'est la marcaine, et non la morphine qui est en cc.
1 hr
Mais cc est bien cm3 non ? .. mg reste mg de toutes façons, non ? Son questionnement est sur le cc et non sur le mg. C'est évident que je répondais à l'entrée qui dit morphine... ça ou une autre drogue ! peu importe...
