French term

Anesthésie et Réanimation

French to English Medical Medical (general) Journal Article
I have always translated "Anesthésie et Réanimation" simply as "Anesthesia", believing that in English both concepts are covered by that single term. However, I notice that many bilingual websites use "Anesthesia and Intensive Care". I think that the "Réanimation" refers to post-anesthesia resuscitation/recovery, but would like to be 100% sure.
thank you
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): mchd

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.

Hi, let's have the whole context, i.e. a paragraph in French in which your phrase appears.
Gwynneth Kably (asker) Feb 10, 2015:
In this instance, I am looking for a US answer, but I would also like a UK answer, as this comes up across the board. thank you
B D Finch Feb 10, 2015:
Context? EN-UK? EN-US? Without any context or information on which version of English you are using as target, you are making it difficult for answerers and for others to judge between the answers provided. I assume that your spelling of "Anesthesia" indicates that you are not looking for EN-UK, but it would still be useful to know for sure.

Sorry, but this normally appears on a letterhead, so there is no more context here.

Anesthesia and intensive care (see comments)

In English, there are three closely related yet distinct concepts, all of which are used in a variety of contexts to translate the word "réanimation" and its counterparts in other languages.

1. Resuscitation - restoration of vital functions of a patient who is in or near clinical death. I can be performed anywhere from a battlefield to a hospital, and can be as simple as CPR with your two hands or as complex as a room full of high-tech equipment.

2. Critical care / intensive care - restoration of vital function and their subsequent continuous support and monitoring (also beyond the event of clinical death), usually conducted in hospital settings. Sometimes a distinction is also made between "critical" and "intensive" care in the sense that both are high-tech and round-the-clock, but the former deals with immediately life-threatening conditions while the latter is "one notch down"; this, however, is more of an organisational than conceptual distinction.

3. Emergency medicine - dealing with medical emergencies that require urgent attention but are not necessarily life-threatening, and not necessarily in a hospital (in fact, it is often used with an emphasis on medical care directly at accident locations).

So, pick the one that suits your context best. Lacking any context beyond what you have presented, I would choose "intensive care" just because "réanimation" was used together with anesthesia. This combination often refers to doctor's specialisation, and then it becomes an "-ology": either "anesthesiology and intensive care", or "anesthesiology and reanimatology" - the latter one is rarely used in English but is probably the best umbrella term covering it all; it was proposed as a medical specialty by Vladimir Negovsky (USSR) in 1961, at the International Traumatology Congress in Budapest.
