Below are some text files converted to doc format for use in the PDA. I use these files myself at work for quick information while in a patients room. While a book will be much more comprehensive and explain better, these files are good for someone who has the basic understanding of the subject but just needs a reminder or refresher - not to mention, people are extremely curious when you whip out the palm (personally, I use a Visor but I generally call it a palm out of habit) to double check yourself and it sometimes helps break the ice when things are tense.       Since I don't know how to make a program yet (I'm working on it!) the files below are in DOC format only and must be used with a PDA text reader such as CSpotRun. I'm considering using iSolo but, darn it!, CSpotRun is so nice and tiny in size and I hate using more of my palms memory than I have to!       As usual, I have to protect myself in this lovely "I'm going to sue" world. I made these files for my own personal use and I thought others might like to have them for their use as well. I have done my best to make sure the information is correct. If I find an error I edit the source and re-upload into my palm. The files below I believe to be accurate and in no need of editing. However, if you find an error I would greatly appreciate an email letting me know the error so I can correct the file and upload it ASAP. If you want, I'd be more than happy to include your name in the file as the boo-boo finder (in real life I'm not always the most professional person in the world so I find no reason to be that way on the net).       Below, at last, are the files. There is the text file so you can see what information is included right now and the .PDB format for the file reader. I did not zip up the files, you should be able to download them by right clicking on them. If you can't download them please email me (use the form page, link at bottom of page) and I'll upload the zipped files. You can also edit the text files if you wish and change them into the PDA doc format for your own use. I'd appreciate it if you'd leave my name in there but I doubt many people would. The text file format looks funny but it comes out perfect on the PDA when opened up in the doc reader. ABO_RH_Compatibility.txt ABO_RH_Compatibility.pdb This file shows the compatibilities between blood groups and different blood components. HeartRate.txt HeartRate.pdb This chart is used as a quick glance reference for figuring out the heart rate on a rhythm strip (instead of having to divide manually or grab a calculator) LungSounds.txt LungSounds.pdb Just a quick reference on what all those lung sounds are caused by. O2FlowRate.txt O2FlowRate.pdb A guide in regards to the O2 flow rate. I am astonished at the people that will put a nasal cannula at 15L/M or a face mask at 2L/M!!! DyspneaClassification.txt DyspneaClassification.pdb A reference to help you chart a patients description of their dyspnea more accurately. FluidTonicity.txt FluidTonicity.pdb A reference on fluid tonicity. ArtOfListening.txt ArtOfListening.pdb Something I need to read from time to time. c-e-c.txt c-e-c.pdb Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffe bean? Just one of those little ditty's about change. More to come, give me time! More to come, give me time! Back to the Contents Page
