Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) carries significant morbidity and mortality with current standard of care modalities.
We present the case of a 63-year-old male status post abdominal surgery 2 weeks before presenting to the emergency department with a massive pulmonary embolism and subsequent acute cardiopulmonary failure. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: Here we describe a case of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) deployed in the emergency department as a bridge to embolectomy to successfully treat massive pulmonary embolism. This provided the opportunity to establish a "Code ECMO" protocol and algorithm for PE with cardiopulmonary instability so that patients can be rapidly triaged to the appropriate treatment modality.
按照当前的护理标准模式,大面积肺栓塞(PE)会导致显著的发病率和死亡率。
我们报告一例63岁男性病例,该患者在腹部手术后2周因大面积肺栓塞及随后的急性心肺衰竭就诊于急诊科。为什么急诊医生应该了解这个病例呢?在此,我们描述了在急诊科部署体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)作为栓子切除术桥梁以成功治疗大面积肺栓塞的病例。这为建立针对伴有心肺不稳定的肺栓塞的“ECMO代码”方案和算法提供了机会,以便能够将患者迅速分诊至合适的治疗模式。
