Pulmonary embolism is frequently under-recognised in children and, therefore, a high index of suspicion should be exerted on patients with exertional dyspnoea, presyncope/syncope and unexplained cardiopulmonary arrest. We discuss a 10-year-old previously healthy girl who presented with syncope and subsequent cardiac arrest related to massive pulmonary embolism and was salvaged successfully by emergent pulmonary embolectomy.
肺栓塞在儿童中常常未得到充分认识,因此,对于出现劳力性呼吸困难、先兆晕厥/晕厥以及不明原因的心搏骤停的患者,应保持高度的怀疑指数。我们讨论一名10岁以前健康的女孩,她因大面积肺栓塞出现晕厥及随后的心搏骤停,并通过紧急肺动脉血栓切除术成功获救。
