  General Revision History

Version 3.8 (Built October 11, 2006)

The following changes were made to version 3.8 of all eMedic products (i.e., eMedic for Palm, eMedic for Pocket PC, and eMedic for Windows):

  • Version 3.8 includes the latest medical Guidelines (2005). These changes include updates to the algorithms, medicines, and treatments to include the latest CPR and ECC guidelines. These database changes are explained here.

Version 3.7 (Built April 28, 2005)

The following changes were made to version 3.7 of all eMedic products (i.e., eMedic for Palm, eMedic for Pocket PC, and eMedic for Windows):

  • If you are viewing certain Medicine records (approximately 35 different medicines) and you use the See Also menu to open the Dosage or Drip Calculators, the calculator will display default values for that medicine (e.g., the appropriate dosage and concentration). Medicines that have this capability mention that you can select the calculator from the See Also menu to calculate the dosage. Select Drip Calculator from the Dopamine record to see an example of this feature. The eMedic Editor allows you to specify the default dosage for any medicine.
  • The following changes were made to the Drip Calculators:
  • The default values are pre-populated with the default values when the Drip Calculator is selected from more than 35 Medicine records (see above comments).
  • You can now calculate infusion rates over 10, 15, 20, and 30 minutes (in addition to various numbers of hours).
  • In addition to calculating infusion rates in mL over time (which is now referred to as mL/time rather than mL/hour), you can now calculate the rate as liters over time (i.e., L/time).
  • The order of the units in the drop down list (i.e., ug, mg, gr, and g) is now arranged from smallest to largest.
  • The following changes were made to the Dose Calculator:
  • The default values are pre-populated with the default values when the Dose Calculator is selected from certain Medicine records (see above comments).
  • The order of the units in the drop down lists (i.e., ug, mg, gr, and g) are now arranged from smallest to largest.
  • The following changes were made to the anatomical records:
  • Teeth Image. An image of teeth was added.
  • Genitals Image. Images of male and female genitals were added. These images do not appear on older Palm computers (i.e., they require Palm OS 5.0 or later with a color display). On older Palm computers the message "Image Not Available" is displayed.
  • Skin Image. A cross-section of the skin was added. These images do not appear on older Palm computers.
  • Arteries Image: The Temporal pulse was labeled. This label does not appear on older Palm computers.
  • Foot Image:  On the high-resolution foot image, labels have been added for cuboid, cuneiform, navicular, and talus bones. (These were already labeled on the low-resolution Palm image.)
  • Urinary Image:  On the high-resolution urinary image, added and labeled the adrenal glands. (These were already labeled on the low-resolution Palm image.)
  • Knee Image:  On the high-resolution knee image, labeled the (hidden) fibula. (This was already labeled on the low-resolution Palm image.)
  • More Links. Added more tap-map links between anatomical images (e.g., from skull to vertebra, from skull to teeth, from upper airway to/from teeth, from urinary to male/female genitals, from thorax to vertebra, from thorax to pelvis, etc.).
