PE & DVT dx tool for Pc

1. This app is written and intended for practicing clinicians like internists, hospitalists, family physicians, obstetricians, ER and urgent care docs; for resident physician trainees; and for medical students.

2. The gold standard diagnostic tests for DVT and PE are invasive venography and invasive pulmonary angiography (and autopsy).

3. But combinations of tests starting with clinical scoring systems for pretest probability followed by sequential labwork and imaging can almost always do the job.

4. The app offers 1 algorithm for DVT diagnosis and 2 algorithms for PE diagnosis, as well as discussion of diagnostic approach and workup of hypercoagulable state.

5. These tests are invasive, time consuming, technically challenging, and sometimes not feasible for a highly ill patient.

6. No single alternative test alone is quicker, easier, less invasive, and as accurate.

7. As an educator and clinician, I am interested in feedback and I would be grateful for guidance on improving the tool.

8. The only problem is that the algorithms involved are very hard to memorize and keep straight.

9. That's where a point-of-care guide like this comes in.
