Ace asks. You answer out loud. Miss one and Ace explains it.

Pick a class and tap the chip. Ace reads each question in its own voice, listens to your answer, grades it like a supervising physician would, and saves every miss to a review deck.

Ace asksA patient has sudden shortness of breath and pleuritic chest pain after a long flight. If your clinical assessment indicates a high probability of pulmonary embolism and the patient is hemodynamically stable, what diagnostic test should you obtain next?
YouI'm not sure.
Here's the answer.Obtain computed tomography pulmonary angiography if there is no contraindication to iodinated contrast. High clinical probability warrants imaging because a negative D-dimer does not reliably exclude pulmonary embolism in this setting. Remember: high probability means image directly.
