Hi everyone. This is from a medical record. I have figured out TA FC and FR but I can't seem to figure out what Ta and Sat% stand for. Thanks!

Tª is "temperatura," or temperature. Sat% stands for "saturation of oxygen" in the bloodstream; it is also abbreviated "SatO2." It's measured in percentage (and your patient's SatO2 is acceptable.)

: Nicely stated. You could also just use Temp in the translation, also HR and RR ... medical professionals would understand these English acronyms very easily. If a source uses acronyms, I usually use the corresponding English acronyms in the translation.

Sat refers to oxygen saturation. From Wikipedia: In medicine, oxygen saturation (SO2), commonly referred to as "sats," measures the percentage of hemoglobin binding sites in the bloodstream occupied by oxygen. Normal blood oxygen levels in humans are considered 95-100 percent.
