This lecture uses a real case of Pulmonary Embolus to review the clinical presentation of PE and discuss appropriate treatments.
In this video we will discuss about:
1.A case of a trainer with patellar injury leading to pulmonary embolism.
2.Signs and symptoms of acute pulmonary embolism.
3.Pulse oximetry,underlying technique and limitation.
4.Wells score system for DVT/PE prediction.
5.Haemodynamic stability or unstabilty of embolus.
6.Hampton's hump and Wastermark sign.
7.Modalities for pulmonary embolus diagnosis.
8.Treatment rationale and contraindications.

That was a fantastic presentation and explanation. I'm not a doctor or medical professional. I'm a 76 years old retiree who obtained a degree in Chemical Engineering but never worked as a chemical engineer. I found this presentation very easy to follow along and many times saw many analogies and applications of fundamental engineering science to the diagnosis of PE in this patient.
