C-Way

C-Way is a diagnostic approach used in emergency medicine to identify the risk of blood flow problems (like blood clots) in the lungs, commonly called pulmonary embolism. It combines clinical features, blood tests, and imaging results to help doctors determine how serious the condition might be. The goal is to quickly assess patients, guiding decisions about further tests or treatments, such as blood thinners. Essentially, C-Way is a structured way to evaluate risk, improving accuracy and ensuring patients receive appropriate care efficiently.
