Pulmonary Embolism, Part 2: PERC, Wells, YEARS, and Geneva Join Forces Against the Killer Called PE.

Are you ready to dive deep into the world of **Acute Pulmonary Embolism (PE)?** In this video, we explore the critical role of clinical decision tools in the diagnosis of this potentially life-threatening condition.

We'll unravel the complexities of **PE** using key diagnostic tools: **PERC, Wells, YEARS, and Geneva scores**. These tools are vital in assessing the pretest probability of PE, guiding clinicians in their evaluation and treatment strategies.

* **PERC (Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria):** Learn how these criteria help to safely rule out PE in low-risk patients.
* **Wells Score:** Understand how this clinical scoring system estimates the likelihood of PE based on risk factors and clinical symptoms.
* **YEARS criteria:** Discover how this tool reduces the need for CT scans in the diagnosis of PE.
* **Geneva Score:** We'll explore the Geneva score, a clinical tool used to assess the pre-test probability of a PE.

This video draws from key research articles, including the **2019 ESC Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Acute Pulmonary Embolism** () with DOI: [doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehz405](https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehz405) and authors such as **Konstantinides SV, Meyer G, Becattini C, et al**. These guidelines were developed in collaboration with the **European Respiratory Society (ERS)**. The full text of these guidelines can be found here: [https://www.escardio.org/guidelines](https://www.escardio.org/guidelines). You can find supplementary data for the guidelines here [https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article-lookup/doi/10.1093/eurheartj/ehz405#supplementary-data](https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article-lookup/doi/10.1093/eurheartj/ehz405#supplementary-data). We also reference work by authors like **Wicki J, Perneger TV, Junod AF, Bounameaux H, Perrier A.**. and **Aujesky D, et al**.
