Erratum

CAEP Administration

CJEM 2006;8(5):316

There was an error in the Diagnostic Challenge1 in the July issue of CJEM. In the last paragraph of the Commentary the article stated: "Interestingly, there have been no reports of SIPE [swimming-induced pulmonary edema] in Olympic swimmers, but there is one case published of a triathelete who developed dyspnea with slight hypoxia and right-sided pulmonary crackles some 8-9 hours after the swim." Eight to nine hours was in fact, when the patient presented to the ED, not the time frame during which symptoms developed.
