POMPE-C is an acronym for prediction of mortality from pulmonary embolism in cancer.
Patient selection: cancer and pulmonary embolism
Outcome: mortality
Parameters:
(1) body weight in pounds
(2) maximum respiratory rate in breaths per minute
(3) oxygen saturation in percent on pulse oximetry breathing room air
(4) heart rate in beats per minute
(5) mental status
(6) respiratory distress
(7) do not resuscitate (DNR) status
(8) unilateral limb swelling (leg or arm, new, noticeable asymmetry with contralateral limb)
