Um TdC em bolus que mais parece uma infusão estendida! Voltamos no nosso formato quinzenal para falar de D-Dímero. Um exame muito solicitado durante a pandemia e que volta e meia a gente tem que interpretar. As possíveis aplicações do D-Dímero são vastas, mas nesse episódio resolvemos focar em: trombose venosa profunda, tromboembolismo pulmonar, dissecção de aorta e COVID-19. Críticas ou sugestões? Entra em contato com a gente no @tadeclinicagem no Instagram, Twitter ou gmail. Não esquece do nosso canal no YouTube, tem video toda semana!
