Timing of Discharge Follow-up for Acute Pulmonary Embolism: Retrospective Cohort Study
INTRODUCTION Historically, emergency department (ED) patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) have been admitted for several days of inpatient care. Growing evidence suggests that selected ED patients with PE can be safely discharged home after a short length of stay. However, the optimal timing of follow up is unknown. We hypothesized that higher-risk patients with short length of stay (<24 hours...

Fifty-three patients without pre-existing cardiac or pulmonary disease were reviewed 5 to 9 years after angiographically proved pulmonary embolism.

متن کاملThe incidence of acute pulmonary embolism following syncope in anticoagulant-naïve patients: A retrospective cohort study
BACKGROUND A recently published, large prospective study showed unexpectedly high prevalence of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) among patients hospitalized for syncope. In such a case, a high incidence of recurrent pulmonary embolism is expected among patients who were discharged without APE workup. OBJECTIVES To determine the incidence of symptomatic APE among patients hospitalized for a firs...
متن کاملEfficacy and Safety of Thrombolytic Therapy in Acute Submassive Pulmonary Embolism: Follow-Up Study
BACKGROUND Thrombolysis in acute submassive pulmonary embolism (PE) remains controversial. So we studied impact of thrombolytic therapy in acute submassive PE in terms of mortality, hemodynamic status, improvement in right ventricular function, and safety in terms of major and minor bleeding. METHOD A single-center, prospective, randomized study of 86 patients was conducted at LPS Institute o...

A ntithrombotic treatment for acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) should consist of a therapeutic dose of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for o5 days, followed by a vitamin K antagonist for o3 months. LMWH has simplified the initial management of DVT because it is at least as effective and safe as unfractionated heparin and can be administered in fixed subcutaneous d...
