Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

657
Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Pulmonary Embolism III: Nursing Management

661
A pulmonary embolism occurs when a thrombus, amniotic fluid, tumor tissue, fat, or air embolus blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. Effective nursing management and patient education are crucial for improving outcomes and preventing recurrence.Nursing management starts with obtaining a comprehensive patient history, particularly noting any history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Assess for clinical manifestations, including dyspnea, chest pain, crackles, heart murmurs, and signs of right-sided...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

622
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction

1.2K
Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a thrombus, fat or air embolus, amniotic fluid, or tumor tissue blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. These blockages originate in the venous system or the right side of the heart.EtiologyPE primarily arises from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other hypercoagulable states, such as inherited thrombophilias. Additional etiological factors include venous stasis, commonly seen in obesity, and endothelial injury from surgery and trauma. Less common causes include...

Summary

Angioembolization is effective for managing blunt solid organ injuries in stable patients, improving non-operative management success rates. Potential complications are acceptable when avoiding surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma surgery
  • Interventional radiology

Background:

  • Non-operative management is standard for blunt solid organ injuries in stable patients.
  • Angioembolization enhances non-operative management success.
  • Review focuses on angioembolization for solid organ injuries.

Approach:

  • Literature search of PubMed using "trauma", "angioembolization", and "solid organ embolization".
  • English language studies were reviewed.
  • Focus on recent articles regarding angioembolization post-trauma.

Key Points:

  • Angioembolization indicated for hemodynamically stable patients with CT contrast extravasation or high-grade solid organ injury.
  • Improved success rates for non-operative management.
  • Complications are generally acceptable compared to laparotomy and related to injury severity.

Conclusions:

  • Angioembolization extends non-operative management strategies for solid organ injuries.
  • Further randomized controlled trials needed to define indications and efficacy.
