mackjacks Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Hi! I did a search but couldn't find a thread like this. Seems like it must have been discussed before. I am looking for a useful guide to forming DDx based on symptoms. Something that I could quickly flip to a CC to see if I'm missing anything glaringly obvious in the differential. Or an app would be even better. I am on ER rotation right now and I feel like I keep missing important things in the differential. Has anyone tried/heard about the Common Symptom Guide from Lange that is $19.99 in the Apple App Store? Worth it? About to check out the free Dx Saurus app right now... Thank you!

AREID Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 We had to buy the common symptom guide and I personally didn't like it. I agree with the above post: epocrates. You do have to pay a subscription once a year. But it's a great resource to get the info you need fast. They also throw you frequent updates on treatment and what not.

GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Dx Saurus is fine. I've got it on my phone but rarely used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medic25 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 PEPID us an outstanding EM app that includes a DDx generator. It's fairly pricey, so you might also want to look at WikEM for a quality free EM reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
