About this document
Pulmonary Thromboembolism Case Study by Pradeep Gupt is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A 50-year-old woman presented to the emergency room with shortness of breath, lightheadedness, and chest pain after a recent long flight. On examination, she had elevated heart rate and low oxygen levels. Imaging showed pulmonary thromboembolism is the most likely diagnosis. Dyspnea is the most common symptom and imaging like CT angiography is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment involves anticoagulation with drugs like heparin or thrombolysis if it is massive.
