| Description |
Pulmonary embolism, whether massive or sub-massive, requires appropriate emergent treatment. This process needs to take the most effective course of treatment based on patient symptomology and hemodynamic stability status. Therefore, treatment options explored should be based on the patient's clinical signs and symptoms, with specific contraindications for intervention, and a benefit versus risk assessment for each individual case. As mentioned, this process is required to take place in a timely manner due to the emergent nature of the condition. A systemic approach to therapy may assist medical professional in this process, such that timely treatment is initiated. A meta-analysis of current literature on treating PE, concludes that treatment options remain controversial and further research is needed for institutions to implement PE treatment algorithms. |
