Dutch term

gebombeerd

Dutch to English Medical Medical: Cardiology
Hi colleagues,

I'm a bit stuck on the following. The sentence is as follows: Diffuus hematoom rond pacemaker pocket, pocket zelf niet gebombeerd.

This patient went to the ER because of chest pain after getting a pacemaker implanted the same day. Not sure what to make of 'gebombeerd' in this context.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
agree philgoddard : Swelling is fine too, but I don't think it merits a separate answer.

Thanks!
agree Barend van Zadelhoff : Pinkhof - bomberen: opbollen, uitpuilen van een strak gespannen laag t.g.v. verhoogde druk eronder; ... 'pocket itself is not bulging.'

swelling

See the following:

An unexpected cause of a swollen pacemaker pocket: a case report

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/joa3.12223
Subsequent outpatient visits showed complete resolution of the pocket swelling with no change in pacemaker function and lead thresholds.
Peer comment(s):

agree Michael Beijer : this does seem more commonly used than my suggestion ("bulging")

agree Barend van Zadelhoff : 'swollen' would be okay, not swelling: ... 'pocket itself is not swollen.'

Reference:

uitpuilen, opgezet zijn

Ik vind het niet in de context van het hart of pacemakers, wel in combinatie met de fontanel en het trommelvlies.
Example sentence:

Stase van ontstekingsexsudaat veroorzaakt uitpuilen van het trommelvlies (bomberen) en pijn.
