Prevalence of Pulmonary Embolism in Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department for Syncope

The Research to Practice column is intended to improve the research critique skills of the advanced practice registered nurse and the emergency nurse (RN) and to assist with the translation of research into practice. For each column, a topic and a research study are selected. The research article is then reviewed and critiqued, and the findings are discussed in relation to a patient scenario. In this column, we examine the findings of P. from their article, titled "Prevalence of Pulmonary Embolism Among Patients Hospitalized for Syncope."
