Abstract:
[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVE To summarize the clinical related factors and prognostic influence factors of perioperative pulmonary embolism of head and neck malignant tumor.METHODSFrom 2010-2014, our hospital carried out a total of 2736 cases of head and neck malignant tumor surgical operations, of which, 10 cases were clinically diagnosed as postoperative pulmonary embolism, retrospectively analyzed the process of clinical treatment of the patients of pulmonary embolism with head and neck malignant tumors, and summarized their etiological factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment. RESULTS The preoperative period incidence of pulmonary embolism in patients with head and neck malignant tumor was 0.37%(10/2736). Their clinical manifestations were mainly of asthma and breathing difficulty, and 3 cases of asymptomatic hypoxemia. 8 cases of patients showed pulmonary artery and branch filling defects after pulmonary artery angiography (CTA), 7 cases of patients got cured and were discharged from the hospital after comprehensive treatment such as anticoagulation etc; 3 cases of patients died after emergency treatment. 2 cases of patients suffered cavity bleeding, and there was no anticoagulant drug adjustment.CONCLUSIONThe mortality of head and neck cancer patients with perioperative pulmonary embolism is high, and therefore, preventive measures and timely treatments are important to reduce the incidence of pulmonary embolism.
