Relai

French to English Medical Medical: Cardiology
Hi everyone,

I am translating a cardiology report containing the following sentence:

"Relai avec 1 grosse seringue de 50cc pour dégonfler au moyen du robinet plusieurs manoeuvres de dépression successives."

I understand what all the bits of the sentence mean individually, I just can't seem to put them together to make any sense in English. Can anyone help?

Best regards,

Rebecca.

switched to using

Relai is often switching from one treatment to another. Depending on what was done just beforehand, my understanding of this excerpt is:
we then switched to using a large 50-cc syringe attached to the tap to deflate [the balloon] by depressing the plunger several times.

Note from asker:
Thank you. I couldn't get it to sound as elegant as you have done.
