Mandatory adherence to diagnostic protocol increases the yield of CTPA for pulmonary embolism
OBJECTIVES To determine if mandatory adherence to a diagnostic protocol increases the rate of computed tomography pulmonary angiographies (CTPAs) positive for pulmonary embolism (PE)-the so-called diagnostic yield. Further, we aim to identify factors associated with this diagnostic yield. METHODS We included all patients with suspected PE requiring CTPA from 9 January 2014 t0 3 June 2014. The...
متن کاملDiagnostic yield of CT thorax angiography in patients suspected of pulmonary embolism: independent predictors and protocol adherence
OBJECTIVES To determine the diagnostic yield of computed tomography scanning of the pulmonary arteries (CTPA) in our centre and factors associated with it. Differences between specialties as well as adherence to protocol were investigated. METHODS All patients receiving a first CTPA for pulmonary embolism (PE) in 2010 were included. Data about relevant clinical information and the requesting ...

متن کاملPulmonary embolism: diagnostic algorithms.
In 90% of cases the clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism (PE) is raised by clinical signs and symptoms, while in only 10% of cases PE is suspected on the basis of electrocardiographic, arterial blood gas analysis or radiological findings. The combination of clinical signs and symptoms and the results of first-level diagnostic tests (electrocardiography, gas analysis and chest X-ray) allows ...
