Calf pain escalated over 2 days. Extending area of tenderness. Antalgic gait Positive Homans. Leg out of bed sign. Still no other Wells Criteria based cardinal features.

Reattend DVT clinic. Scan included whole leg not just below knee. Popliteal DVT confirmed. D/C clexane 3/12

DVT Case study - a 🧵

TAKE AWAYS:
🩸Always consider Virchows Triad alongside a Wells Score.

💉Consider alternatives for a raised D-dimer

🩻 Don't always assume a recently -ve USS means DVT can never be present.

Thank you to @TaylorAlanJ for his @PhysioFirstC article

[John Preddy @johnpreddy93]

Given significant hypercoagulable risk factors referred to DVT clinic.

D-dimer +ve 1500.

USS completed but negative.

Sent home with safety netting and worsening advice to reattend if symptomatic.

Knew there was something I had to help 👉 Page 16-17 gives some guidance on bloods standards for enhanced, advanced and consultant Rheum FCP

[John Preddy @johnpreddy93]

@GatesPhysio @rwilliamsphysio @ClementsCharl96 @TheHipPhysio @ClinicalLeadNW No standards that I am aware of in Wales.

Seems to be variability between trusts on expectations of FCPs regarding bloods.

Ultimately, comes down to individual confidence and objective competence - i.e. portfolio. Seems like a nice Masters study for someone 👀

Rare case this week - acute incomplete CES seen in core physio, accessed via self-referral, referred as emergency via standard CES pathways turning out to be leptomeningeal metastases from lung cancer.

@MattLowPT Hi Matt, do you think there is scope / are you aware of any evidence for a dispositional approach to inpatient AHP discharge processes using the vector model? Where causal vectors move patients towards or away from successful discharge?

[John Preddy @johnpreddy93]

@GatesPhysio @PalingClaire Nothing from personally, but rheumtutor is something I have used to get a visual understanding of various techniques for my own learning 💉.

Some important considerations for those in FCP and a well deserved publication for a top bloke 👏

I found myself using this mind map of common anti-neuropathics a lot this week in FCP, so thought I'd share 💊

BNF used for references.
