Post-operative delirium (POD)


Explanation:
This delirium may be caused by anesthesia. More common in elderly patients.

-

Postoperativni delirij – Ovo privremeno stanje može se razviti i nekoliko dana nakon operacije. Pacijent može biti zbunjen, dezorijentiran, imati problema s pamćenjem i pažnjom te biti nesvjestan okoline.

disagree  Daryo: There might well be a delirium somewhere in this story, but it make no sense for this term - "millimeters of blood effusion" are not the kind of units anyone would use to evaluate someone's mental state.

POD (Post Operativna Dijagnostika)
Post-operative diagnosis


Explanation:
POD Post Operativna Dijagnostika = examinations conducted after the surgery.

one of them being "UZV srca = UltraZVuk srca = cardiac ultrasound / echocardiography" showing this "perikardijalni izljev do 15 mm".


All bit of the puzzle used and all fit together.
