[Personal experience in the diagnosis and therapy of pulmonary thromboembolism].
Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo 1992 July
The analysis of both clinical findings and diagnostic procedures results were performed in 26 patients with thromboembolic pulmonary disease in order to determine the incidence of signs indicating pulmonary thromboembolism. Sudden dyspnea, hemoptysis and chest pains are the most common symptoms of the disease. These symptoms associated with radiographically confirmed pulmonary infiltrations with the elevation of hemidiaphragm and pleural effusion, particularly if they are bilateral, are the main clues for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Perfusion defect on the pulmonary scintigraphy makes this diagnosis almost certain. Hypoxemia and hypocapnia and respiratory alkalosis are frequent findings in thromboembolic pulmonary disease, as well. Fever, increases RBC sedimentation rate and leukocytosis are present in a great deal of patients. In addition, the presence of risk factors related to the development of thrombosis of the lower limbs deep veins, and particularly those related to the long term immobilization as well as diagnostically confirmed venous thrombus are basic guidelines for the diagnostic of pulmonary thromboembolism.
