Abstract

Klinik gestalt, hekimin eğitim, deneyim ve içgüdüye dayalı karar verme sürecidir. Hızlı, esnek ve etkili olsa da önyargılara açık olup deneyimsiz hekimlerde daha az doğru olabilir. Pulmoner emboli ve sepsis gibi durumlarda yararlı olduğu gösterilmiş ancak kanıta dayalı yöntemlerle desteklenmesi gerekmektedir.

Balancing Intuition and Evidence: Clinical Gestalt in Modern Medicine

Abstract

Clinical gestalt, a clinician’s intuitive judgment, integrates objective data and subjective impressions for diagnosis. It is rapid, adaptable, and effective but prone to bias and less accurate for inexperienced clinicians. Studies show its utility in diagnosing conditions like pulmonary embolism, and sepsis though it requires validation with evidence-based tools.
