Investigation and Management of Suspected Pulmonary Embolism

exp date isn't null, but text field is

Abstract

Individuals with suspected pulmonary embolism should be assessed for the need for imaging to confirm or exclude the diagnosis. In general, those who develop symptoms suggestive of PE during an admission will all require radiological imaging (e.g. CTPA). In contrast, those presenting from the community (and who will have a lower likelihood of having a PE) can be triaged for imaging according to their D‐dimer level and pre‐test clinical
probability score (revised Geneva score).
