DDA (en este contexto)
Spanish to English
Medical
Medical: Health Care
Acrónimo utilizado en la sección del examen general de una historia clínica de un hospital en Perú:
"Paciente despierto, activo, ABEG, MEN, hidratado, DDA"
El paciente sufre de dolores intestinales y al final se recomienda una hemocolectomia. Además, sufre de Trastorno Bipolar. Creo que los demás acrónimos son "aparente buen estado general", "mal estado nutricional"... pero ¿DDA? En este contexto, dudo que pueda ser "dar de alta", ya que lo van a operar.
¡Sugerencias bienvenidas!

the patient is lying on his back, he is able to move
This is an alternative. Roxanna's right, DDA = decúbito dorsal activo. It means the patient is lying flat on his back, with the face upward and he can move by himself. You can also say "the patient is supine...", "the patient lies supine...".

The reason for searching the term this way was your mention to Trastorno Bipolar, but I am by no means a specialist in psychiatry. Another issue that remains unclear to me is whether or not this is the same as ADHD though, sorry. Found the following link, whereby they may be the same condition but it still doesn't seem too clear:
Psychiatry officially codified a condition called “hyperkinetic reaction of childhood” in 1968, displaying the psychoanalytical influences of that time. The name Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) was first introduced in DSM-III, the 1980 edition. By 1987 – The DSM-IIIR was released changing the diagnosis to "Undifferentiated Attention Deficit Disorder." Further revisions to the DSM were made in 1994 – DSM-IV described three groupings within ADHD, which can be simplified as: mainly inattentive; mainly hyperactive-impulsive; and both in combination.

Hi again Martin. I'm sorry, even though I only marked a moderate level of confidence, I should have considered the context more carefully as this explanation doesn't seem to fit the text in which the term is stated.

No, it doesn't look like it, does it - given the context. I should have considered my answer more carefully. Though I mark your word for it, please note that references or at least some solid explanation are required for disagreeing. :O) :O)
