Pulmonary embolism (PE) treatment varies, especially for intermediate-risk cases. Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams (PERT) offer a multidisciplinary approach for rapid, individualized care and intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pulmonology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a frequent thrombotic event with diverse clinical presentations.
  • Current guidelines offer varied treatment strategies for PE, including anticoagulation, thrombolysis, and embolectomy, but lack consensus, particularly for intermediate-risk patients.

Observation:

  • Disagreement exists among guidelines regarding optimal PE treatment, creating challenges in patient management.
  • Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams (PERT) have emerged to facilitate rapid, individualized care.
  • PERT models enable multidisciplinary consensus decision-making and prompt intervention for deteriorating patients.

Findings:

  • This review examines current PE treatment guidelines and recent clinical trial data for submassive PE.

  • It outlines a structured approach to PERT implementation and utilization.

    • Implications:

    • PERT facilitates a collaborative approach to managing complex PE cases.
    • Standardizing PERT protocols can lead to improved patient outcomes and more efficient care delivery for pulmonary embolism.
