English term

pufferfish

English to Spanish Medical Medical (general)
Do not take pufferfish, inhaler and MDI 4 hours before the test.

"Pez globo" no parece tener sentido en el contexto. Se refiere a qué medicamentos no utilizar antes de una prueba pulmonar. He estado buscando pero la verdad no entiendo a qué se refiere. Alguna idea? Tal vez sea una forma de llamar a los inhaladores (encontré algo de un pez globo con asma), pero no he podido confirmar nada que tenga sentido en español...

Muchas gracias!

Discussion

Context Might be related to the context, where is the source text from? NZ? Is it possible that they're referring to an 'inhaler' as 'pufferish' just to make it kid friendly/family-friendly?

Where is the text from? I do not know what pufferfish is in this context but you do not ¨take inhaler¨you USE inhalerS (MDI is a type of inhaler, puffer is a colloquial term for inhaler).

tal vez modificando un poco : "inhalador o atomizador para el asma tipo Pufferfish o similar" ¿El texto tiene algo que ver con Nueva Zelanda?
Note from asker:
Sí, hasta ahí llegó mi investigación pero no pude confirmar si hay algo en español... ya le pregunté al cliente qué quiere hacer con esto, porque no creo que lo entienda cualquiera. Gracias!

fugu, veneno de pez globo

Parece en Japon, estand haciiendo TERApia de tetrodotoxina. .ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6212850/ medical application of tetrodotoxin (TTX), a potent non-protein specific blocker of voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels. The selectivity of action, lack of affinity with the heart muscle NaV channels, and the inability to penetrate the blood–brain barrier make this toxin an attractive candidate for anesthetic and analgesic drug design. The efficacy of TTX was shown in neuropathic, acute and inflammatory pain models.

Se está estudiando un medicamento fabricado con el veneno del pez globo, para comprobar si puede aliviar el dolor del cáncer.

Los resultados preliminares indican que el medicamento, Tectin, se tolera bien y puede aliviar el dolor del cáncer por hasta dos semanas en algunos pacientes, según un estudio presentado recientemente en la reunión de la American Pain Society y la Canadian Pain Society en Vancouver, British Columbia.

Dice alli......Desde hace mucho, el pez globo, también conocido como Fugu, se conoce como una arriesgado manjar para los amantes del sushi. Sólo los más experimentados chefs de sushi preparan pez globo para los clientes, ya que el consumo de la toxina natural del animal puede causar parálisis o incluso la muerte.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.201901564 The deadly nature of the puffer fish has been known to mankind since the dawn of civilization. However, the compound responsible for this fatal activity was isolated only in the early 20th century and has been widely known to the scientific community as tetrodotoxin since then. This review traces its history, isolation, structural elucidation, biology, and synthesis. The syntheses of unnatural derivatives are covered as well.
Example sentence:

El hallazgo de glándulas exocrinas únicas para la secreción de tetrodotoxina en el pez globo, así como su almacenamiento en las glándulas postsalivares del pulpo de anillos azules admite la posibilidad de que algunas especies sean capaces de producir
