Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 185

This article on remifentanyl tolerance and hyperalgesia is nerdy, focussed on perioperative anaesthesia, but good. Recommended by: Matthew MacPartlin Emergency Medicine Verma AA et al, for the GEMINI Investigators. Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Venous Thrombosis in Patients Hospitalized With Syncope: A Multicenter Cross-sectional Study in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. JAMA Intern Med. PMID: 28492876 A quick update on PESIT. This retrospective chart review tried to replicate the PESIT inclusion criteria. They identified 1305 patients admitted with first time syncope. Ultimately, 11 were diagnosed with PE and 10 with DVT, resulting in a VTE prevalence of 1.4% (95%CI 0.9-2.2%). This is much lower than the number reported in PESIT, is much more realistic, and is also below the test threshold for workup.
