Eli Lilly and Company is proud to present this interactive computer program of Case Studies in Cardio- Thoracic Surgery. The purpose of this program is to provide educational and enjoyable practice in the perioperative use of inotropic drugs and associated pharmacologic agents. Three case studies are available, each with several parts. For each, you may choose to play one of three "roles"... STUDENT role: You will simply observe while an expert instructor treats the patient and explains his rationale. PHYSICIAN role: You will be managing all treatment of the patient. Upon com- pletion of the case, the expert will provide a critique of your management. RESEARCHER role: Identical twin patients arrive. You will be ordering treatment for each. Compare alternate therapeutic approaches. Afterward, individual critiques are provided. CAUTION! READ THE FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE BEFORE USING ANY OF THESE MEDICATIONS.
