Catalan term or phrase: dèbit
I've found this in Spanish as "volume" here in Proz, but I'm far from convinced. It seems debit could/should be the result of a calculation. Two examples below, to UK English. TIA!


Orig
Els drenatges es retiren quan el seu dèbit és inferior a 50cc en 24 hores.
Rough draft
Drains were removed when the volume dropped below 55cc in 24 hours.


Orig
Avaluem l’evolució clínica, el dèbit dels drenatges, els dies de drenatge, l’aparició de complicacions com seroma, hematoma o infecció de ferida, mitjançant exploració física i TC abdominal.
Rough draft
We assessed clincal development, drainage volumes, days of drainage, the appearance of complications like seroma, hematoma, or infection of the wound via physical exploration and abdominal CAT scan.

output | flow rate
Explanation:
It means "output", or "flow rate". I very much prefer the former, but the latter is also used.

volume


Explanation:
dèbit m

Cabal.



cabal m

(al Ausstoss; an volume, output; c gasto, caudal; fr débit; it portata)

1 Magnitud que expressa la quantitat de fluid que, per unitat de temps, travessa una secció del conducte per on circula.

2 cabal cardíac (an cardiac output; c gasto cardíaco) Producte del volum sistòlic per la freqüència cardíaca. Aquest paràmetre depèn de la contractilitat del múscul cardíac, però també de la precàrrega, de la postcàrrega i de la freqüència cardíaca, per la qual cosa és un índex de funció circulatòria més que no pas de funció cardíaca.
