Haha, quite right! I'm trying to think "outside the box", but must revise that line of thought!
How about secutum, nominalized from secutus, "followed"? After all, English "route" itself ultimately derives from (via) ruptum, a substantivization from ruptus "broken", "burst".

I don't see how that would make any sense.
But again, why spilt hairs here by excogitating something odd and obscure when via works pretty well?
Okay, no more hair-splitting. Wouldn't meatus have the desired meaning; or perhaps trames? To tell the truth, via is a bit troublesome to me, because I can't get past it meaning "road". Probably just me, though.

I have thought for a few minutes about what is bothering me about via, and I think I understand it now. Via refers to a physical path, which is why it most often means "road". When we say "route" pertaining to the administration of medication, however, we are speaking more about the method of administration, than about the physical route alone. For instance: an oral administration of medicine by tablet and an oral administration by sublingual strip would not be considered the same "route" of administration. (These types of difficulties are obviously why the medical field has drawn off of both Latin and Greek for it's base of terminology.) That is why I am seeking something different for your consideration. Going off of "method", then, how about modus, or perhaps the ablative thereof, modo, meaning "by the method", "in the manner"?

Okey-dokey, via it is. It's after midnight here now, and my eyes are getting droopy. Night-night, all.
Thanks Quase. Very nice suggestions
We've got that one in Czech: dát = dare; předat = per +dare .. and it means here "to give something unwillingly in a surplus [often used sarcastistically]": "Dal mi jenom dvě. Aby se nepředal!" = he gave me just two. I sincerely-hope he hadn't "overgiven" himself [that scoundrel]!" <- really difficult to render it in English

Manoeuvres is another word I need to translate. I have two, Ventilation Manoeuvres & Airway Manoeuvres. The outcome doesn't have to be successful, it is just what was tried.
I was wondering if I could use expertus: something like
insufflatio experta
—singula manu
—binis manibus

Hm, no, I don't think that works very well. Maybe temptata instead.
I'm not sure what you mean here with the distributives. Would several people be trying simultaneously, each with one or two hands? If you're referring just to one hand of one person and both hands of one person, it'd usually just be una manu and ambabus manibus or utraque manu.
I'm sorry but I know little about medicine so I'm not always sure what you're talking about and I have to ask questions.
Or maybe just facta. "Manoeuvre" doesn't imply that it was successful, but it doesn't imply that it was unsuccessful, either, right?
Thanks
It would be both hands of one person simultaneously, so presumably ambabus manibusDoes facta not give the feeling that it was successful?
What would you say for concentration of a drug? I am completely at a loss.
Out of context I think it just means that the thing was "done" or "performed" but isn't explicit as to the outcome of the thing that was performed.
Portio...?
Uhm... Concentratio medicinae/medicamenti? There are quite a few hits for "solutio concentrata" on Google Books.
