Spanish term

Solicitandose Tac de AP; SNG; debitos en descenso

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care Malignant Pancreatic Tumor surgery Epicrisis report
Team, I am translating a Clinical summary of a pancreatic tumor surgery. The report makes reference to three terms that I am having difficulty phrasing properly in English, or am uncertain as to their specific meaning- since they are acronyms, there are various alternatives:

Solicitandose TAC de AP
Pesquisandose HC I y II
debitos en descenso (Sonda Nosogastrica)

I know what Solicitandose, pesquisandose and Sonda Nosogastrica mean, but can't find the meanings for the abreviations, and am uncertain how to express debitos en descenso, although I am sure it refers to a reduction in the amount of fluids draining through the tube.

Thanks so much for your help!!

@Liz Gracias por tu comentario. No obstante, el glosario solo debe incluir un término, a efectos de facilitar la búsqueda de los mismos. Hemos hecho el esfuerzo de ayudarle a resolver las dudas que tenía, cuando deberían haberse hecho en varias preguntas. Saludos, Marga

The entry is incorrect, as you have not put the English equivalents for "SNG" and "debitos en descenso"!!

TAC de AP = TAC de absceso pancreático / Pancreatic abscess ????? No estoy muy segura.
Note from asker:
Thanks, I was pretty sure about the TAC=CAT, it is the AP, and HC that had me stumped. Any clue on debito de descenso?
Something went wrong...
