What is the Homans sign for DVT?

The classic presentations of DVT are swelling and tenderness, elevated temperature, and a positive Homans' sign (calf pain on dorsiflexion of the foot ) (see Figure 51.1 ). In an extreme scenario, phlegmasia cerulea dolens, as evident by the painful blue appearance of the leg, can occur due to massive thrombosis involving the iliac veins and extending into the most distal venules in the leg. Phlegmasia cerulea dolens is a condition frequently associated with a hypercoagulable state or external obstruction, such as an underlying intraabdominal malignancy or May-Thurner syndrome.

What are the symptoms of an embolism?

The most common presenting symptom of acute embolism is the sudden onset of dyspnea. 107-109 In various studies, dyspnea was a presenting symptom in the majority of patients. However, it must be emphasized that, in the PIOPED study, 109 dyspnea was not present in 27% of patients ultimately proven to have embolism. Pleuritic chest pain was present in 66% of patients, whereas hemoptysis (15%) was uncommon. Less than 50% of patients had cough (37%), leg swelling (28%), and leg pain (26%). A sense of impending doom also is reported, particularly with massive embolism. Angina also can result from massive embolism representing, in this circumstance, right ventricular ischemia. Syncope also may be a presenting complaint in major embolic occlusion.

What are the physical findings of a massive embolism?

The most common physical finding is tachypnea (respiratory rate >20/min). In the PIOPED study, 109 however, tachypnea was not present in approximately 30% of patients with embolism. Clinical findings noted less frequently include crackles (55%), tachycardia (30%), and an increased pulmonic component of the second heart sound (S2; 23%). Fever may develop some hours after the event and often reaches but rarely exceeds 38.3° C. As noted previously, hemoptysis may be observed; it usually is quite modest in extent, although it may persist for some days. Brisk hemoptysis is rare and is almost never the initial finding. With massive embolism, there may be evidence of right ventricular overload or failure, such as a right ventricular tap along the left sternal border and an accentuated pulmonary valve closure sound. If right ventricular failure develops, there may be narrowed or fixed splitting of an S2, an S3, and/or an S4, distended neck veins, and cyanosis. Careful examination of the legs may elicit evidence suggesting venous thrombosis. In the PIOPED study, 109 clinically apparent venous thrombosis was found in only 15% of patients.

Which plethysmography detects proximal veins?

Impedance plethysmography (IP), which detects proximal veins, reasonable in symptomatic pts, but lacks sensitivity and specificity in asymptomatic pts.

What are the symptoms of venous thrombosis?
