- Kerley B lines - cardiomegaly - interstitial edema - pleural effusion - pulmonary edema
63
Virchow's Triad

65
How is DVT diagnosed?
- Homan's sign positive (but not diagnostic) - US or venogram - D-dimer is sensitive but not specific
66
Tx of DVT
- anticoagulation | - compression stockings
67
Risk Factors for AAA
- male - HTN, hyperlipidemia, PAD, COPD - smoking - age, FHx
68
How is AAA diagnosed?
- pulsatile mass in abdomen - spiral CT - US is simplest and least expensive --> procedure of choice for screening
69
How might a AAA present?
- shock, pulsatile abdominal mass, abdominal or back pain TRIAD = rupture of AAA - tachycardia - HoTN - anemia - flank contusion (Grey-Turner sign)
