Inside the May 2013 Issue:
Lesson 9 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an under-diagnosed and uncommon disease with
a clinical presentation that mimics several disease processes. It carries high morbidity and
mortality rates if undiagnosed or treated inappropriately. Understanding the outpatient
management of PAH as well as how to manage a PAH crisis are paramount in treating these
patients.
Lesson 10 Febrile Neutropenia
Febrile neutropenia is a life-threatening disease process in immune-compromised patients. Fever in a neutropenic patient may be the only sign of impending death. An emergency physician must be able to recognize, risk stratify, and appropriately treat febrile neutropenia in a timely manner.
