• Hurtigmetode

• Observatøruafhængig metode foretrækkes

• NPV ≥95% ved prævalens på 30%, specielt hvis testen tænkes anvendt ved visitation til bileddiagnostisk undersøgelse

• Negativ test hos relevant antal patienter

• Testen kombineres med kvantitativ klinisk vurdering af patienten for at opnå en passende lav prætest sandsynlighed for VTE

In PIOPEDOnly 41% of patients with PE had high-probability scansIn patients with COPD, 5% high-probability, 5% normal, 90% inconclusive In patients with any cardiopulmonary disease, 77% of V/Q scans were inconclusive

Simplification of the DiagnosticManagement of Suspected DVTSimplification of the DiagnosticManagement of Suspected DVT

The need for repeated US can be reduced by about 60% without a decrease in safety by using the SimpliRED™ D-dimer assay. The total rate of DVT identified by this novel strategy was 1.3% (95% CI 0.7–2.0%), which is fully comparable to the present standard diagnostic approach

Conclusions (1)Conclusions (1)

The presence of compatible symptoms and signs lead to the diagnostic evaluation for DVT or PE. The presence of risk factors may further suggest the need for this evaluation History and physical exam are neither sensitive nor specific for acute DVT or PEThe chest radiograph and ABG may offer useful clues to the presence of PE, but are not diagnosticThe diagnosis of VTE requires objective testingUS is very sensitive for symptomatic DVT; less so for asymptomatic DVT

Conclusions (2)Conclusions (2)

The spiral CT scan is being used increasingly for suspected acute PE and appears sensitive and specific for PE in segmental or larger vessels. It is also useful in making alternative diagnosesD-dimer testing, when used carefully, can reduce the need for diagnostic testing in suspected acute DVTPretest probability estimates, particularly combined with D-dimer testing, appear useful
