Diagnostic criteria and treatment for pulmonary embolism, 4. Ventilation/perfusion lung scan a. If read as high probability for PE, treat with anticoagulants b. If read as indeterminate or low probability for PE and clinical suspicion remains high, consider pulmonary angiography c. If the chest X-ray is abnormal, or if COPD is present, lung scanning may lead to an erroneous interpretation. Consider CTA. 5. Pulmonary angiography remains the accepted gold standard for detecting the presen...

EM M4 SAEM EXAM 2024 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS treatment of PE - Answer ️️ -Anticoagulation may be started before imaging confirmation in patients with a high pre-test probability of the disease. Either unfractionated heparin or low- molecular weight heparins (e.g. enoxaparin) may be used in most cases. Warfarin (Coumadin) has a transient hypercoagulable effect; therefore, patients starting warfarin are placed on heparin until warfarin reaches a therapeutic level (INR 2-3). DOAC (rivaroxab...
