The Wells score is a clinical prediction rule used to classify patients suspected of having pulmonary embolism (PE) into risk groups by quantifying the pre-test probability. It is different than Wells score for DVT (deep vein thrombosis).
The pulmonary embolism rule-out criteria (PERC) helps assess people in whom pulmonary embolism is suspected, but unlikely. Unlike the Wells score and Geneva score , which are clinical prediction rules intended to risk stratify people with suspected PE, the PERC rule is designed to rule out the risk of PE in people when the physician has already ...
The Geneva score is a clinical prediction rule used in determining the pre-test probability of pulmonary embolism (PE) based on a patient's risk factors and clinical findings. [1] It has been shown to be as accurate as the Wells Score , and is less reliant on the experience of the doctor applying the rule. [ 2 ]
A defect in the perfusion images requires a mismatched ventilation defect to indicate pulmonary embolism. [8] In the ventilation phase of the test, a gaseous radionuclides such as xenon-133, krypton-81m, or technetium-99m DTPA in an aerosol form is inhaled by the patient through a mouthpiece or mask that covers the nose and mouth.

Levels of membership in ACCP are Retired, Student, Member and Fellow (FCP). Fellowship is the organization's way of noting outstanding achievement in the discipline. Fellows require specific credentials and are recommended by their peers and reviewed by the Board of Regents.
[1] [2] [3] ACCP is the publisher of Pharmacotherapy and JACCP: Journal of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy. According to the ACCP, its purpose is to advance human health by extending the frontiers of clinical pharmacy. [1] It has more than 15,000 members.
The entire ACCP curriculum and an electronic enrollment form are also listed at the Army Training Support Center’s Web site. The ACCP Catalog offers two types of study: individual and group. AIPD's automated student record system limits students to one course enrollment, or to one course enrollment and a subcourse enrollment, at any one time.
High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a life-threatening form of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema that occurs in otherwise healthy people at altitudes typically above 2,500 meters (8,200 ft). [2] HAPE is a severe presentation of altitude sickness. Cases have also been reported between 1,500–2,500 metres or 4,900–8,200 feet in people who ...
