Self-prescription is reasonably safe assuming that the compression gradient is 15–20 mmHg, the ABPI (for both legs) is >1.0 and that the stockings fit correctly. "Firm" gradient stockings (20–30 mmHg and 30–40 mmHg) should generally be worn only on medical advice.
A new prediction score for PE was created in 1998 [40] This prediction rule was revised by Wells et al. in 2000. [41] In the 2000 publication, Wells proposed two different scoring systems using cutoffs of 2 or 4 with the same prediction rule, and also included D-dimer testing in the rule-out of PE in low probability patients.

Blood pressure fluctuation (40 mmHg) between heartbeats for a typical healthy adult [44] [45] 6.3 kPa 0.9 psi Pressure where water boils at normal human body temperature (37 °C), the pressure below which humans absolutely cannot survive (Armstrong limit) [46] +9.8 kPa +1.4 psi Lung pressure that a typical person can exert (74 mmHg) [47] 10 4 Pa
e.g. normal 120 mmHg - 80 mmHg = 40 mmHg [3] low: 100 mmHg − 80 mmHg = 20 mmHg high: 160 mmHg − 80 mmHg = 80 mmHg. Pulmonary pulse pressure is normally much lower than systemic blood pressure due to the higher compliance of the pulmonary system compared to the arterial circulation. [6]
The millimetre of mercury is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 millimetre high with a density of 13 595.1 kg/m 3 (approximate density at 0 °C or 32 °F) at standard gravity (9.806 65 m/s 2), i.e. precisely 133.322 387 415 pascals.
A minimum systolic value can be roughly estimated by palpation, most often used in emergency situations, but should be used with caution. [10] It has been estimated that, using 50% percentiles, carotid, femoral and radial pulses are present in patients with a systolic blood pressure > 70 mmHg, carotid and femoral pulses alone in patients with systolic blood pressure of > 50 mmHg, and only a ...
