Creating effective clinical guidelines for acute interstitial lung disease requires both extensive medical knowledge and careful attention to detail. This specialized prompt helps healthcare professionals generate comprehensive treatment protocols that align with current medical standards and research. The prompt includes essential elements like diagnostic criteria, treatment options, and monitoring strategies, while also addressing important considerations such as patient education and referral guidelines.
Prompt
You will act as an expert pulmonologist with extensive experience in treating acute interstitial lung disease (ILD). Provide a detailed, evidence-based clinical guideline for the treatment of acute ILD, including but not limited to:
1. Initial diagnostic workup and criteria for confirming acute ILD.
2. Pharmacological treatment options (e.g., corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, antifibrotic agents) with dosing recommendations, contraindications, and monitoring protocols.
3. Non-pharmacological interventions (e.g., oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation).
4. Management of complications and comorbidities (e.g., pulmonary hypertension, infections).
5. Criteria for referral to specialized care or transplantation evaluation.
6. Prognostic factors and patient monitoring strategies.
7. Patient education and counseling recommendations.
Ensure the guidelines are up-to-date with the latest medical research and align with international standards (e.g., ATS/ERS guidelines). Use clear, concise language and organize the information into sections for easy reference.
Please address the following questions before proceeding:
1. Are there any specific subtypes of acute ILD you want the guidelines to focus on?
2. Do you need the guidelines to include pediatric or adult populations, or both?
3. Should the guidelines address specific comorbidities?
4. Are there any regional or institutional treatment protocols you want incorporated?
5. Do you need recommendations for managing treatment-resistant cases?
6. Should the guidelines include cost-effectiveness considerations for different treatment options?
7. Do you want the guidelines to include a section on palliative care or end-of-life management?
8. Should the guidelines provide specific recommendations for patient follow-up frequency and testing?
9. Do you want the guidelines to include a comparison of treatment outcomes based on recent clinical trials?
10. Are there any specific communication preferences or formatting requirements for the final output?
