39
Q

What is Homans sign?

A

Used in diagnosis of DVT - pain with passive dorsiflexion of foot

40
Q

What easy test can be done to diagnose peripheral vascular disease?

A

Ankle-Brachial Index, take BP of each; An ABI of <0.9 is consistent with the disease

41
Q

What is the use of d-dimer in DVT diagnosis?

A

D-dimer can help rule it out because it has high sensitivity, but specificity is poor. So + result doesn’t tell you much.

42

43
Q

44
Q

3 options for DVT tx

2) Dabigatran + LMWH bridge
3) Warfarin + LMWH bridge

45
Q

How long is LMWH bridge?

A

5-10 days

46
Q

LMWH vs unfractionated?

A

LMWH:

1) longer half-life so less frequent dosing

6) bleeding complications less common

47
Q

How does initiation of warfarin work?

A

Monitor warfarin dose by measuring the INR and titrate the warfarin dose every three to seven days to an INR of 2.0-3.0

NAme a direct thrombin inhibitor

A

Dabigatraban

50
Q

How can dabigatraban anticoagulation be reversed?

A

reversal agent (idarucizumab)

51
Q

how long to anticoagulate after unprovoked thromboembolic event?

A

3 months

52
Q

When would you screen someone for thrombophilia in event of DVT?

A

1) Initial thrombosis occurring prior to age 50 without an immediately identified risk factor (e.g., idiopathic or unprovoked venous thrombosis).
2) family history of venous thromboembolism.
3) Recurrent venous thrombosis.
4) Thrombosis occurring in unusual vascular beds such as portal, hepatic, mesenteric, or cerebral veins.
