Acute pulmonary embolism

Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and often fatal disease. Mortality
can be reduced by prompt diagnosis and therapy. Unfortunately, the clinical
presentation of PE is variable and nonspecific, making accurate diagnosis
difficult.

PE refers to obstruction of the pulmonary artery or one of its branches by material
(eg, thrombus, tumor, air, or fat) that originated elsewhere in the body. This topic
review focuses on PE due to thrombus. Air emboli and fat emboli are discussed
elsewhere.
Massive or submassive PTE

Massive PE causes hypotension, defined as a systolic blood pressure
<90 mmHg or a drop in systolic blood pressure of ≥40 mmHg from
baseline for a period >15 minutes. It should be suspected anytime
there is hypotension accompanied by an elevated central venous
pressure ,which is not otherwise explained by acute myocardial
infarction, tension pneumothorax, pericardial tamponade, or a new
arrhythmia .It is a catastrophic entity that frequently results in acute
right ventricular failure and death. When death occurs, it is often
within one to two hours of the event, although patients remain at risk
for 24 to 72 hours .The PE is frequently undiscovered until autopsy.

All acute PE not meeting the definition of massive PE are considered
submassive PE.
Certain factors can be sugesst poor prognosis

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction

An elevated brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic
peptide (NT-proBNP)

Deep vein thrombosis



Elevated Serum troponins


Diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism:

Laboratory: Routine laboratory findings are nonspecific. They
include leukocytosis, an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate
(ESR), and an elevated serum LDH or AST (SGOT) with a normal
serum bilirubin.

ABG: usually reveal hypoxemia, hypocapnia, and respiratory
alkalosis.

Brain natriuretic peptide

Troponin: Serum troponin I and troponin T are elevated in 30 to 50
percent of patients

ECG: considered to be suggestive of PE (S1Q3T3 pattern, right
ventricular strain, new incomplete right bundle branch block)

CXR: Radiographic abnormalities are common in patients with PE

V/Q scan:

Patients with high clinical probability of PE and a high-probability V/Q scan had
a 95 percent likelihood of having PE

Patients with low clinical probability of PE and a low-probability V/Q scan had
only a 4 percent likelihood of having PE

A normal V/Q scan virtually excluded PE

Lower extremeity ultrasound

D-dimer

Angiography: Pulmonary angiography is the definitive diagnostic technique or
"gold standard" in the diagnosis of acute PE

Spiral CT
Treatment of acute pulmonary embolism

Respiratory support

Hemodynamic support

Anticoagulant Therapy

Ttrombolytic Therapy

IVC filter

Embolectomy
Massive PTE management:

For patients with massive PE and hypotension, one should administer
500 mL of normal saline. Additional fluid should be infused with
extreme caution because excessive fluid administration
exacerbates RV wall stress, causes more profound RV ischemia, and
worsens LV compliance and filling by causing further interventricular
septal shift toward the LV. Dopamine and dobutamine are first-line
inotropic agents for treatment of PE-related shock.

The preferred fibrinolytic regimen is 100 mg of recombinant tissue plasminogen
activator (tPA) administered as a continuous peripheral intravenous infusion over
2 hours. Patients appear to respond to fibrinolysis for up to 14 days after the PE
has occurred.

The risk of intracranial hemorrhage with fibrinolysis has prompted a renaissance
of surgical embolectomy. A possible alternative to open surgical embolectomy is
catheter embolectomy. New-generation catheters are under development.
Bed rest is not recommended for deep venous
thrombosis unless there is substantial pain and
swelling. However, the data for pulmonary
embolism are not sufficient to support this
recommendation. Thus, when pulmonary
embolism is diagnosed, inpatient therapy with
initial bed rest for 24 to 48 hours is often
recommended
Executive Summary
Antithrombotic Therapy and Prevention of
Thrombosis, 9th ed: American College of
Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical
Practice Guidelines
CHEST 2012; 141(2)(Suppl):7S–47S
In patients with acute PE associated with
hypotension, we suggest surgical pulmonary
embolectomy over no such intervention if they
have
(i) contraindications to thrombolysis,
(ii) failed thrombolysis or catheter-assisted
embolectomy,
or (iii) shock th at is likely to cause death before
thrombolysis can take effect (eg, within hours),
provided surgical expertise and
resources are available
The primary indications for placement of an
inferior vena caval filter include
• contraindications to anticoagulation,
• major bleeding complications during
anticoagulation,
• and recurrent embolism while the patient is
receiving adequate therapy.
• Filters are sometimes placed in the case of
massive pulmonary embolism, when it is believed
that additional emboli might be lethal,
particularly if thrombolytic therapy is
contraindicated. However, this latter indication is
not based on firm trial data
More than 95% of patients with acute PE are (or
appear to be) hemodynamically stable at
presentation and are thus not considered to be at
high risk
a multidimensional prognostic model on the basis of
4 variables:
• systolic blood pressure 90 to 100 mm Hg;
• heart rate >110 beats/min;
• elevated cardiac troponin;
• right ventricular dysfunction on imaging
Phase 3 trials investigating the new, non–vitamin K
dependent oral anticoagulant agents (NOACs)
apixaban , dabigatran , edoxaban , and
rivaroxaban in the treatment of VTE have been
completed and published. A meta-analysis showed
that these agents are noninferior to the standard
heparin/VKA regimen, in terms of prevention of VTE
recurrence (relative risk [RR]: 0.90; 95% confidence
interval [CI]: 0.77 to 1.06), and that they are probably
safer in terms of major bleeding (RR: 0.61; 95% CI:
0.45 to 0.83), particularly intracranial (RR: 0.37; 95% CI:
0.21 to 0.68) and fatal (RR: 0.36; 95% CI: 0.15 to 0.84)
hemorrhage . As a result, NOACs are recommended
in the 2014 ESC Guidelines as an alternative to the
standard heparin/VKA treatment . All 4 NOACs
mentioned earlier are now licensed for treatment of
VTE in the United States and the European Union
(edoxaban still awaits approval in Canada);
