Synopses & Reviews
The management of patients with pulmonary embolism remains a challenge for attending physicians and calls for competent and prompt decision-making. This CD-ROM serves as an interactive teaching tool.
Using eight case samples and with the help of a proven scheme, it documents in a step-by-step manner the optimum procedure - from the (suspected) diagnosis to effective fibrinolysis therapy. A number of examination images (x-ray, CT, scintigraphy, echocardiography, angiography) and twenty video sequences illustrate the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, accurately and vividly reflecting clinical reality.
Review
'Appropriate for nurses interested in critical care, emergency room care, or the management of pulmonary embolism. . .extremely easy-to-use. . .well described, clear, and easy to learn from. . .allows the user to be a diagnostic sleuth, as it does not present the next step in the case until the user has an opportunity to formulate an answer. . .an interesting tutorial, entertaining while providing education on a limited approach to the diagnosis and management of pulmonary embolism.' --Respiratory Care
