1. Capnography variables and d-dimer in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism / Variaveis capnograficas e d-dimeros em pacientes com suspeita de tromboembolismo pulmonar
Métodos para confirmar o diagnóstico de tromboembolismo pulmonar (TEP) são relativamente invasivos, de alto custo e nem sempre disponíveis. Justifica-se a busca de métodos mais acessíveis, de baixo custo, minimamente invasivos e que possam ser realizados à beira do leito. Foi objetivo deste estudo estabelecer um protocolo de triagem diagnóstica de TE

2. Clinico-pathological discrepancies in a general university hospital in São Paulo, Brazil
INTRODUCTION: The autopsy rate has continuously diminished over the past few decades, reducing the quality of medical care and the accuracy of statistical health data. OBJECTIVE: To assess the accuracy of clinical diagnoses by comparing pre- and postmortem findings, and to identify potential risk factors for misdiagnoses. METHODS: Retrospective evaluations p

3. Valor do teste de dosagem do Dímero - D plasmático no diagnóstico do tromboembolismo venoso agudo / Value of measure plasmatic D Dimer test to diagnosis of the acute thrombolism venous
Introduction: The thromboembolic disease is a multicausal complex disturb with signals and symptoms that confusing itself with other diseases. Because its gravity strategies search objecting to get a faster diagnosis. The measure plasmatic D dimer test seems to be an alternative for exclusion of the diagnostic of acute venous thromboembolism. Objectives: To

4. Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism
NO SINGLE NONINVASIVE TEST for pulmonary embolism is both sensitive and specific. Some tests are good for “ruling in” pulmonary embolism (e.g., helical CT) and some tests are good for “ruling out” pulmonary embolism (e.g., D-dimer); others are able to do both but are often nondiagnostic (e.g., ventilation–perfusion lung scanning). For optimal effic

5. Role of spiral volumetric computed tomographic scanning in the assessment of patients with clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism and an abnormal ventilation/perfusion lung scan.
BACKGROUND: A study was carried out to evaluate the potential place of spiral volumetric computed tomography (SVCT) in the diagnostic strategy for pulmonary embolism. METHODS: In a prospective study 249 patients with clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism were evaluated with various imaging techniques. In all patients a ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) scan was

6. Plasma DNA in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.
To assess the diagnostic value of measuring free plasma deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in patients suspected of having pulmonary embolism, we prospectively assayed the plasma of 40 consecutive patients who underwent pulmonary angiography for the presence of free plasma DNA. Fifteen of them had angiographic evidence of pulmonary embolism. Of these 15 only two (1

7. Radioisotope scanning of the lungs
Lung scanning with macroaggregated albumin 131I was carried out in 128 patients. The technique appears to be without hazard. It is particularly useful in the detection of pulmonary embolism, but the pattern is non-specific and changes occur in other cardio-respiratory diseases. On the basis of these observations pulmonary scanning is regarded as a useful adj

8. Plasma cross linked fibrin degradation products in pulmonary embolism.
Plasma concentrations of cross linked fibrin degradation products, a marker of intravascular thrombosis and fibrinolysis, were measured in 495 patients with suspected pulmonary embolism referred for ventilation-perfusion lung scanning to determine whether concentrations are increased in pulmonary embolism and their potential use in diagnosis. Lung scans were

12. Acute pulmonary artery thromboembolism treated with thrombolysis: diagnostic and monitoring uses of transoesophageal echocardiography.
The central pulmonary arteries and any thrombus within them can be imaged by transoesophageal echocardiography. Its use is reported in the diagnosis and subsequent management of a patient with acute pulmonary embolism, whose response to thrombolytic treatment was monitored by further transoesophageal studies. Transoesophageal echocardiography may be a valuab
