List Well’s DVT scoring and the values for each:
(-2 to 9)

Active Cancer = 1
Unilateral Swollen Calf = 1
Swollen Leg = 1
Tender Deep veins = 1
Pitting Oedema = 1
Collateral Leg Veins = 1
Previous DVT = 1
Paralysis/Pariesis = 1
Other DDx = -2
List Well’s PE scoring and the values for each:
(0 to 12.5)
Signs/Sx of PE = 3
PE Number-1 Diagnosis = 3
Recent Surgery / Bed Bound = 1.5
HR >100 = 1.5
Previous DVT/PE = 1.5
Haemoptysis = 1
Cancer + Chemo = 1
E M B O L I S M
Emboism Hx ; Malignancy ; Bed-Rest ; Oral blood ; Legs affected ; Increased HR ; Signs of PE ; Most likely Diagnosis PE.
List ABCD^2 and the values for each:
(0 to 7)
Age >60 = 1
Blood Pressure >140/90 = 1
Clinical - Speech issue = 1 / Unilateral Weaknes = 2
Duration in mins - <10 = 0 / 10-59 = 1 / >60 = 2
Diabetes = 1
List CHA2DS2VaSc scoring and the values for each:
(0 to 9)
Congestive Heart Disease = 1
Hypertension (Clinical bp > 140/90) = 1
Age - <65 = 0 / 65-74 = 1 / ≥75 = 2
Diabetes Melitus = 1
Stroke Hx = 2
Vascular DIsease Hx = 1
Sex Class Female = 1
List CURB65 scoring and the values for each:
(0 to 5)
Confusion = 1
Urea > 7mmol/L = 1
Respiratory Rate >30 = 1
Blood Pressure Sys<90 OR Dia<60 = 1
Age >65 = 1
List Glasgow Coma scoring and the values for each:
(0-15)
Eyes (/4):
No Opening = 1 / To Pain = 2 / To Command = 3
/ Spontaneous = 4
Verbal (/5)
No Response = 1 / Incomprehensible Sound = 2
/ Confused = 4 / Oriented = 5
Motor (/6)
No Response = 1 / Extends to Pain = 2
/ Flexes to Pain = 3 / Withdraw = 4
/ Moves to Localise Pain = 5 / Obey Command = 6
List the MRC Dyspnoea scoring and the values for each:
(0-4) (or 1-5 depending on which version)
Dyspnoea on exertion = 0 (or 1)
Dyspnoea up a hill = 1 (or 2)
Dyspnoea walking with same age = 2 (or 3)
Has to stop after 100m walking = 3 (or 4)
Dyspnoea means cannot leave hosue = 4 (or 5)
Management cutoffs for Well’s DVT Score:
(/9)
0-2 = D-Dimer… (+) = USS, then Anti-Coag if (+). if (-)DD, <1% chance.
≥3 = USS, then Anti-Coag if (+)
-DD only used for risk stratification.
Management cutoffs for Well’s PE Score:
(/12.5)
0-4 = D-Dimer, then CTAngio, then thrombolysis if all +
≥5 = CTAngio, then consider thrombolysis.
High: Consider thrombolysis without CTangio.
If it is decently suspected to be PE and they are haemodynamically unstable DON”T DELAY ALTEPLASE.
Management cutoffs for CURB65:
(/5)
0-1 = Community: PO Amoxicillin
2 = Admit: PO Amoxicillin + PO Clarythromycin
3-5 = Admit: IV Amoxicillin + IV Clarythromycin + Consider ICU Admission
If using C_RB65 then use clinical judgment when they score 1, whether to admit or not.
Management cutoffs for CHA2DS2VaSc:
(/9)
0 (M) / 1 (W) = No Antithrombotics
1 (M) = Consider Anththrombotics
≥2 (W) = Offer Antithrombotics
Higher scores have more weight up against the risk of major bleeds (HAS-BLED score).
Management cutoffs for Glasgow-Coma Scale:
(/15)
0 = ded
<8 = Conisder Intubation
Rapidly deteriorating = Check airways and consider intubation.
