2.2 Part two: Effect of DS on non-anticoagulated platelet poor plasma from patients The second part of the study was designed to understand the effects of DS on platelet poor plasma taken from different non-anticoagulated individuals. This was so the effect of DS by itself could be isolated, without the additional interference of anticoagulation.

Abstract Background The heterogeneity of inpatient pulmonary embolism (PE) presentations may lead to computed tomography pulmonary angiograms (CTPA) being over-requested. Current clinical predictors for PE, including Wells criteria and Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria (PERC), have predominantly focussed on outpatient and emergency department populations. Aim To determine the clinical indicators for ordering inpatient CTPA and the predictors of positive scans for PE.
