3D Problem Solving: Initial Assessment of Dyspneic Patient (3 CME/CE Credits)

As an emergency medicine physician, the ability to swiftly decipher a patient's presenting complaints and conduct an initial physical examination is a crucial skill. However, some life-threatening issues may not be immediately apparent, leading to potential mortality and morbidity. For instance, during the Covid pandemic, anxiety was often misdiagnosed as the cause of dyspnea, failing to address the underlying problem of respiratory distress. By decoding the patient's complaint and carefully observing their physical presentation, a rapid differential diagnosis can be achieved. Equally important is the timely and appropriate implementation of interventions to address the underlying issue.

 

 

 

Join this engaging class to enhance your problem-solving skills in the initial assessment of dyspneic patients, earning 3 CME/CE credits while gaining valuable insights into decoding complex medical presentations and providing effective and efficient care.

About the Presenter

(Trainer, Ellen Wesley, DO, is a career full time Emergency Department physician practicing in Illinois. Dr. Wesley seeks to make her patient's lives easier by educating and empowering them. Outside of her career in medicine, Dr. Wesley brings laughter to others through standup comedy, a passion that she discovered a number of years ago. Dr. Wesley says ”I have a unique perspective or two… My perspective on problem-solving is somewhat unique due to my personal neurological circuitry, which encompasses both ADD and Dyslexia”. Dr. Wesley points out that these conditions provide insights into the different ways individuals perceive and solve problems. In fact, Stanford University once had a think tank that intentionally included dyslexic individuals to overcome impasses in their problem-solving process. Her three-dimensional problem-solving approach offers a fresh perspective, allowing for alternative views and innovative solutions.)
