Part of Topic
Intraoperative Acute Pulmonary Embolism: A Simulation Case for Anesthesiology Residents
-
Diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) during surgery can be challenging because typical symptoms of APE are absent or difficult to discern in patients under general anesthesia1
-
Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) can provide strong evidence of APE2,3
-
Thus, TEE-guided diagnosis of APE should be part of anesthesiology training programs
-
Intraoperative APE is rare and simulation may be ideal teaching method
-
There are currently no intraoperative APE simulation studies published in common simulation journals
