- Often times a hematologist will be consulted to see a patient with newly diagnosed DVT or PE. This would be a good source to reference from the American Society of Hematology.
- Add 2 slides to the outline:
- Comparison of prior standards for diagnosing and treating PEs. Remember our audience will be practitioners in practice with 20+ years and novice practitioners.
- Populations for Special Considerations for treating PEs
- What happens if a patient cannot be treated with Heparin, etc? The standard treatments.
- Are there special considerations for cancer patients, older adults, etc.
- Add treatment education for patients.
