| standard limb lead | One of the three original bipolar limb lead's of the clinical electrocardiogram, designated I, II and III: lead I records the potential difference between the right and left arms; lead II the difference between right arm and left leg; and lead III the difference between left arm and left leg. Synonym: indirect lead. (05 Mar 2000) |

| standard operating procedure | <microscopy> A written set of instructions detailing the normal procedures for operating a piece of equipment. WWW: Available online (05 Aug 1998) |
| standard pressure | The absolute pressure to which gases are referred under standard conditions (STPD), i.e., 760 mm Hg, 760 torr, or 101,325 newtons/m2 (i.e., 101,325 Pa). (05 Mar 2000) |
| standard score | A statistically referenced or derived score representing the deviation of a raw score from its mean in standard deviation units. (05 Mar 2000) |

| standard urea clearance | The value obtained when the square root of the urine flow (when below 2 ml/min) is multiplied by the urine urea concentration and divided by the whole blood urea concentration; represents an old empirical adjustment for the effect of low urine flow on urea excretion; sometimes corrected for body size by dividing by some function of body weight or surface area. Later, plasma concentration was substituted for blood concentration in the calculation. The normal value is about 54 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in an adult person. Synonym: Van Slyke's formula.
