Italian term

Degenza mista

Italian to English Medical Medical: Cardiology
This is from a 'relazione trasfusionale' for a patient who has undergone TAVI. It simply says:

Reparto richiedente: CARDIOL INTERVENT - DEGENZA MISTA

Is this something like an 'interdepartmental admission' or something? It's not anything to do with the ward being mixed (gender) is it? I'm *sure* it can't be...!

Thanks in advance!

Not mixed gender.. I don't think! I doubt that would be specified; it soulds more like the ward beds are shared between different departments:
"L'Unità è composta dall'Unità Coronarica (7 posti letto) , Subintensiva (8 posti letto) e ***Reparto di Degenza Mista (21 posti letto)***, dagli Ambulatori Divisionali Specializzati e dal Servizio di Cardiodiagnostica non invasiva."

Mixed ward/unit

What we do

Paul Wood is a mixed cardiology and cardiac surgery unit, which is dedicated to the care of patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) and for patients undergoing investigations and treatments for other cardiac related diseases.
Life on the wards

Each bay is single-sex, so you will only be in a room with people of the same sex as yourself. The high dependency unit is a mixed sex ward. However, a nurse is always present and every effort is made to ensure that privacy and dignity is maintained at all times.


The bathroom and toilet facilities are labelled as being for male or female use.
