TheMeister Says: Lots of information about
pulmonary embolism. Includes the Wells criteria for
pretest probability, an image of a diagnostic algorithm
(which is a bit too small to easily read), and a recommended
approach depending on test availability and level of
suspicion. One small caution - this reference states
that when INR is therapeutic, heparin may be stopped.
Standard recommendations require a minimum of 4-5 days of
heparin regardless of how quickly the INR becomes
therapeutic.
