If I suspect PE in a patient with advanced CKD, is there a way to get away with
#POCUS and not doing CTA
(of course will get CTA when in doubt because life > kidney). Any input @iceman_ex@Wilkinsonjonny ?6 replies 0 retweets 9 likes -

The answer lies in your question.."not sure"....we (nephrologists) are not sure as well
Better to avoid if there is an alternative.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

The answer to your question, per Blue Protocol, with A profile and sliding lung, perform DVT scan. If positive, most likely is PE. Also bedside echo may show clot in transit or you can sometimes see clot in the PA.
