Pulmonary embolism is a blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in the lungs. The pulmonary emboli result from thrombus or blood clot, amniotic fluid, fat, and air.
Dr. ANA Crawford briefly describes the presentation of pulmonary embolism.
The presentation includes timing, anatomy, hemodynamics, and symptoms of pulmonary embolism.
In regards to timing, we can have acute, subacute, and chronic emboli.
When discussing the anatomy of pulmonary emboli, we talk about where the clot lodges. It can be saddle, segmental, and sub-segmental emboli.
Hemodynamics show stable or unstable pulmonary emboli.
Unstable pulmonary emboli are also called massive or high-risk pulmonary emboli.
Stable emboli are at intermediate risk.
Unstable emboli are more dangerous for patients.
