free fluid in the abdominal cavity/normal peristaltic sounds

RsPs = ruidos peristalticos.

Peer comment(s):

agree	Philip Bazire (X) : I agree with "free fluid in the abdominal cavity" by I think it would be more usual to see "bowel sounds present" in medical English, rather than normal peristaltic sounds (though this term is not strictly incorrect) 5 mins
	Thank you. Indeed, you're right. Another more common option is "normal bowel sounds"
agree	Dr Sue Levy (X) : what Philip said ;-) 16 mins
	Me too :-)

	Thank you, Muriel
agree	Patrick Weill : free fluid in abdominal cavity could be confused with pathological symptoms, and I found plenty of references from medical reports for something like "Abdominal examination revealed normal peristaltic sounds" 3683 days
