Name: Can D-dimer be Used and Useful in High Pre-Test Probability PE Patients? by TamingtheSRU
Duration: 8 min 56 s
Description: We know that the d-dimer can be a helpful test for patients who have a low pre-test probability of pulmonary embolism. But can the test be pushed into use for higher risk patients? Will it still have useful negative predictive value or will we risk missing too many PEs?

In this Journal Club podcast, PGY-3 Tony Fabiano breaks down a paper from the Journal of Trauma comparing the effectiveness and patient perception of pigtail catheters versus standard chest tubes for hemothorax in the setting of trauma.  Is a tiny tube effective at all in draining blood from the chest?
