All of the following statements are TRUE about diagnostic tests for PE EXCEPT

10% (A) The V /Q scan is 98 percent sensitive and 35 percent specific for PE
(B) Duplex ultrasound is 95 percent sensitive and 95 percent specific for DVT (C) The difficulty in using V/Q scan findings for the diagnosis of PE is the lack of a standardized definition for clinical suspicion (D) A D-dimer of less than 500 U/mL has a negative predictive value of 90 percent (E) Spiral CT is up to 90 percent sensitive and 96 percent specific for PE

D-dimer

D-dimer
Best = elisa assay At 500 ng/dl (sense 94,spec 55) False negative; on warfarin False positive 1 wk after surgery, pregnancy or post partum, malignancy pretest propability < 40 %

Diagnosis
Low to moderate prop in VQ CTA Normal VQ ruled out High prop with negative CTA further investigation Positive VQ in case of pretest propability < 40 %-> further investigation Positive VQ in case of pretest propability > 40%=diagnosis

PE: spiral CT versus VQ


Specificity of spiral CT= high probability VQ Sensitivity of spiral CT=low probability VQ
Spiral Use of contrast False negative in subsegmental PE Helpful in non diagnostic VQ(COPD,
PARENCHYMAL LUNG DIS.)

Negative VQ more sense than negative spiral CT

pregnancy
upper limit of a normal D-dimer increases with each trimester of pregnancy but should not exceed 1000 g/L at any time half-dose injection of radioactive material to perform a perfusion lung scan Or a CT angiogram without indirect venography can be performed and the uterus shielded during image acquisition (< VQ)

You respond to a code blue on the labor-and-delivery ward. The nurse tells you that the patient is a previously healthy 41-year-old African-American woman, 4 days status post normal spontaneous vaginal delivery. She complained of chest pain and dyspnea and then fell to the floor unconscious. No seizure activity was noted. Although initially pulseless, vital signs returned with assisted ventilations. You find the patient confused, grunting, and cyanotic. Vital signs are BP 68/50 mm Hg, HR 121 beats per minute (sinus tachycardia), and RR 28, with pulse oximetry of 78 percent on high-flow oxygen. Physical examination shows distended neck veins, normal heart sounds with a prominent S2, a thready pulse with cool, cyanotic extremities, and adequate tidal volume with no rales or wheezes. Chest x-ray is normal. Bedside ultrasound of the heart shows a dilated right ventricle with parodoxical septal wall motion. In addition to immediate intubation and fluid resuscitation, what is the MOST appropriate therapeutic intervention? (A) Emergent diagnostic spiral CT (B) Heparin bolus of 80 U/kg intravenously followed by 18 U/kg infusion (C) LMWH 1 U/kg every 12 h (D) r-tPA at a dose of 100 mg over 2 h (E) Emergent transfer to the angiography suite for pulmonary arteriography and local infusion of urokinase

Anticoagulant
IV UFH or SC LMWH for initial treatment of PTE With/without overlapping with warfarin Recommend LMWH SC over IV UFH in acute nonmassive PTE LMWH SC/IV UFH for at least 5 days In renal failure recommend IV UFH over LMWH SC

anticoagulant
Prefer LMWH (grade Ia) if high risk for bleeding ,obese, renal insufficiency monitor factor 10 A Massive PE heparin 80 U/kg bolus then 18 /kg/hr Enoxaparin 1 mg/kg sc bid with a pretest probability >50 percent, empiric heparin should be administered

Thrombolytic
Definite= PE with cardiogenic shock Other clinical judge case by case including severe hypoxia Use sk- 250,000 u IV over 30 min then 100,000 /hr for 24 hr

Surgery;
RV emboli Severe refractory hypotension

PE with arrest
CPRno pulse returns within a few minutes bolus inject 100 mg of alteplase or an equivalent dose of fibrinolytic therapy while cardiopulmonary resuscitation is continued for at least 20 min ROSC image to locate embolus surgical thrombectomy

Pitfall
hypercoag state heparin(LMWH has no effect) Ventilation/Perfusion scintigraphy
Required cooperation Not proper for unstable cases

Pulmonary CTA
Not available Required contrast agent

Systemic/local thrombolysis
Acute massive PTE with clinical unstable Systemic thrombolysis is recommend, unless contraindicated Recommend not to use local thrombosis Short term thrombolysis over long term infusion In those case, CVT should be consulted as initial management

Thrombus defragmentation therapy Surgical thromboembolectomy


Only in unstable case with contraindicate for thrombolysis Until now no evidence of benefit over lytic therapy

COPD with AE

Acute asthmatic attack

Asthma in Pregnancy
No side effect of medication (B2-agonists,sterods) but fetal hypoxia may be greater risk Physiologic hyperventilation leads to higher PaO2 ;
if PaO2 less than 70 mmHg represents severe hypoxemia less than 35 mmHg represents respiratory failure

Anterior mediastinal mass


Obscure heart border differential diagnoses of masses in the anterior mediastinum include the 5 Ts: thyroid masses, teratoma, thymic masses, (terrible) lymphoma, and thoracic aneurysm.
