Abstract:
Objective To analyze the clinical and laboratory features of acute pulmonary embolism for diagnosis as possible as early.Methods For 15 patients of pulmonary embolism,who have not history of heart-lung disease and have been diagnosed by high speed multislice CT, the clinical and other laboratory data of these patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results The clinical manifestations were dyspnea ,chest distress, palpitation;the signs including tachypnea, systole murmur, tachycardia etc. The examinations were mainly color Dopple echocardiography and blood gas analysis. In some cases of embolism were found in their pulmonary artery; in all cases tricuspid regurgitation were found by color Dopple echocardiography and their pulmonary systole pressure were all over normal value(42～76mmHg).The blood gas analysis showed that PaO 2 was obviously lower than normal value(30～65mmHg).Conclusions The patient who has symptoms of dyspnea and palpitation must be examined by high speed multislice CT , color Dopple echocardiography and other measurements to get an immediate diagnosis . The first choice is color Dopple echocardiography when there is no high speed multislice CT. The patients can get exact diagnosis and prompt treatment by manifestation of pulse spectral of pulmonary artery, increase of pulmonary artery pressure, right ventricular enlargement.
