Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is commonly considered during emergency department (ED) workups for chest pain and shortness of breath. A number of clinical decision tools are used to help guide care, but none of them take into account patient sex. Differences exist in the workup and care of patients with PE in regard to sex, and the discussed study seeks to determine if males and females are equally likely to receive care consistent with guidelines for suspected PE. This article summarizes the podcast and blog discussing the manuscript by Jarman et al. in which PE workups in male and female patients were compared.
