Danish term

tripplevæske

Danish to English Medical Medical (general) fluid drop when patient is not eating
The patient is in hospital with an infection and is not eating or taking medication, so other treatments are necessary.
There are urinary problems as well.

My context is
cont. Tripplevæske 2000 ml pr. døgn

Another day the patient is to have
1 litre trippel, udover 1 liter saltvand

This is some kind of drop, I'm guessing with three components, but would be grateful for any explanation of precisely what.

Have you considered calling a hospital and asking?

triple antibiotic therapy intravenously

From the link:

"Give triple antibiotic therapy intravenously, providing
aerobic, gram negative and anaerobic coverage: For example, ampicillin 2 g IV every hours plus gentamicin 5 mg/kg body weight IV every 24 hours plus metronidazole 500 mg IV every 8 hours."

It's quite possible there's something else in the bag, so don't stake your life or the patient's on this suggestion. ;-)
Note from asker:
Thanks, this sounds very plausible. It does at least give me something to start checking. I have not got the complete records from the first days of hospitalization, so there may have been more detail in those sections.
