Medical - Medical (general) / Discharge report
Spanish term or phrase: ddv
Hi all :)

I came across the abbreviation "ddv" in a hospital discharge report and I have no idea what it could be. The patient is a newborn baby who is being monitored. It comes up in the section SEGUIMIENTO ACTUAL:

4 ddv. RNT 40+5/AEG 3280G
Peso hoy: 3090g

I'd appreciate any suggestions!

The report was issued in Spain and the target audience is UK.

Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated!
