please add to above list , thank you
DKA case is in FRED NBME software , we can practice there alos.
Let us start from PE case, approach and rx
PULMONARY EMBOLISM ( remember what Archer says in CCS workshop - DLMTS - Dance Like The Movie Star
for DIAGNOSIS, LOCATION, MONITORING, TIMING, SEQUENCING - all these elements must be addressed in a CCS case to get the best score).

ER presentation with chest pain and shortness of breath. History of breast cancer. Vitals are stable.
OXY : pulse ox, stat ; oxygen, stat, continuous
IVA
cardiac monitor, stat, continuous
BP monitor, stat, continuous
aspirin sublingual
elevate head of bed
=========================
PE-- Heart, lung, ext
=========================

EKG, stat
ABG, stat
cxr, stat
cbc, stat
bmp, stat
Pt/Inr, stat
Ptt, stat
NSS
cardiac enzymes
==========================
Physical showed one extremity swollen

Heparin IV, stat, continuous ( do not wait until doppler comes since pre-test probability of VTE is high)
Blood pressure 120/80 so not an unstable PE. ( no need for tPa)

Venous doppler bilateral
Spiral CT stat
D-dimer, stat
===========================
Change Location : ADMIT TO WARD :

Bed rest, complete
pulse ox q2
vitals q4
input/output
Ptt q6
NPO
===========================
while on heparin, start coumadin
Pt/inr daily. Once INR > 2.0, d/c heparin
============================

home

anticoagulation teaching
pt counseling
pt/inr 2 days
Factor V leiden, Factor II gene mutation, APLA panel.
On calender set up later tests - PT/INR in 2 days ( MONITORING)
Gud list
