Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  1. Identify the symptoms and physical signs of VTE.
  2. Describe when to use D-Dimer and how to follow up with specific population with PE.
  3. Explain when to use CPTA and V/Q scan to diagnose PE.
  4. Identify when and how to use the PERC rule, PVI and other tools compared to clinical gestalt for estimating pretest probability of a PE diagnosis.
  5. Describe how biomarkers, echoes, and the presence of a saddle embolus impact the decision for admission into the hospital.
  6. Explain what differences in effectiveness and side effect profile between the different NOACs when prescribing them for certain patients.
