How Good Are the BTS Guidelines for Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism in Patients Admitted onto a Clinical Decision Unit?

A total of 112 adult patients were enrolled in the study. Median PU size and score at day zero were 32 (10.00-69.33)cm and 1(1.00-2.00) respectively. In the PTX group, the mean differences (95% confidence interval, CI) of all PU scores and sizes decreased significantly across the intervals (day seven versus day zero, day 14 versus day zero, and day 14 versus day seven), compared with the placebo group Conclusion: The severity and size of PUs improved significantly in patients who received topical PTX 5% ointment twice a day for 14 days compared with those in the placebo group. Topical PTX may be considered as a potential option in the treatment of categories I and II PUs in critically ill patients.
