Akut pulmoner embolide tanı

Akut pulmoner emboli potansiyel açıdan ciddi ölüm riski taşıyan bir hastalıktır. Hastalık çoğunlukla sessiz ya da nonspesifik semptomlarla seyreder. Patogenez, klinik yaklaşım ve tanı yönünden bazı temel sorular henüz açıklığa kavuşmamıştır. Günümüzde birçok tanı yöntemi bulunmasına rağmen pulmoner emboli halen klinisyen için önemli bir tanı problemi teşkil etmektedir. Bu nedenle, pulmoner emboli şüphesi olan bir hastada patogenez ve kliniğin iyi anlaşılması gecikme olmaksızın kesin tanıya ulaşılmasını sağlayacaktır. Tedavi yaklaşımlarında birçok tartışma buunmasına rağmen, hastaların çoğu yetersiz profilaksi veya tanı hatası nedeniyle kaybedilmektedir.

Diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism

Acute pulmonary embolism represents a potentially fatal disease. The disease presents mostly with silent or nonspecific symptoms. A number of fundamental questions continue to exist regarding the pathogenesis, clinical presentation and diagnosis. Although there is a wide range of diagnostic techniques, pulmonary embolism still remains as a diagnostic challenge for the pulmonary physicia. Therefore, in a patient with suspected pulmonary embolism, understanding the pathogenesis and clinical presentation can result in a more precise diagnosis without delay. Despite vigorous debate for optimal therapeutic approach, the majority of deaths from PE are a result of prophylactic oversight or diagnostic error.
