PULMONARY EMBOLISM (PE) 🫁 Pulmonary embolism is the obstruction of pulmonary arteries by a thrombus, most commonly originating from deep vein thrombosis (DVT). ⸻ 1️⃣ Pathophysiology ➊ Thrombus forms in deep veins (usually legs) ➋ Clot travels through venous circulation ➌ Embolus lodges in pulmonary artery ➍ Causes ventilation–perfusion (V/Q) mismatch → hypoxemia ⸻ 2️⃣ Risk Factors (Virchow’s Triad) ➊ Venous Stasis •Prolonged immobility •Surgery •Pregnancy ➋ Endothelial Injury •Trauma •Surgical procedures ➌ Hypercoagulability •Oral contraceptives •Malignancy •Inherited thrombophilia ⸻ 3️⃣ Clinical Features ➊ Sudden dyspnea ➋ Pleuritic chest pain ➌ Tachypnea and tachycardia ➍ Hypoxemia with respiratory alkalosis (↑ pH, ↓ PaCO₂) ⚠️ Massive PE may present with: •Syncope •Hypotension •Hemodynamic instability ⸻ 4️⃣ Diagnosis ➊ D-dimer •Highly sensitive test •Useful to rule out PE in low-risk patients ➋ CT Pulmonary Angiography •Gold standard diagnostic test ➌ Ventilation–Perfusion (V/Q) Scan •Used if CT is contraindicated (e.g., pregnancy, renal failure) ➍ ECG Findings •Sinus tachycardia (most common) •S₁Q₃T₃ pattern (rare but classic) ⸻ 5️⃣ Management ➊ Anticoagulation (First-line treatment) •Heparin → DOACs (Apixaban, Rivaroxaban) ➋ Thrombolysis •tPA for massive PE with hemodynamic instability ➌ Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter •Used when anticoagulation is contraindicated ⸻ 6️⃣ High-Yield Clinical Pearls ➊ Always suspect PE in sudden dyspnea with a normal chest X-ray ➋ Sinus tachycardia is the most common ECG finding ➌ PE is a major cause of sudden death in hospitalized patients ⸻ 📚 Master Respiratory Medicine with concise, high-yield clinical notes ✨ Get our Respiratory Medicine Book designed for Step 2 CK & clinical rotations 🌐 mediconotes.com/products/respi… #PulmonaryEmbolism #medicine #DVT #doctorsofinstagram #usmle

💡DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (DVT) Formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs. Major concern: clot may travel to the lungs → Pulmonary Embolism (PE). ⸻ 1️⃣ Risk Factors (Virchow’s Triad) ➊ Venous stasis •Prolonged immobility (long flights, hospitalization, casts) ➋ Hypercoagulability •Pregnancy •Oral contraceptives •Cancer •Inherited thrombophilia ➌ Endothelial injury •Surgery •Trauma •Central venous catheters ⸻ 2️⃣ Clinical Features ➊ Unilateral leg swelling ➋ Calf pain or tenderness ➌ Warmth and redness of the leg ➍ Sometimes asymptomatic ⸻ 3️⃣ Complications ➊ Pulmonary embolism (PE) •Sudden dyspnea, chest pain, hemoptysis ➋ Post-thrombotic syndrome •Chronic leg pain and swelling ⸻ 4️⃣ Diagnosis ➊ D-dimer → screening in low-risk patients ➋ Doppler ultrasound → first-line test ➌ CT or MR venography if diagnosis unclear ⸻ 5️⃣ Treatment ➊ Anticoagulation (first line) •Heparin → DOACs (apixaban, rivaroxaban) •Or warfarin ➋ Thrombolysis / thrombectomy •For severe or extensive thrombosis ➌ Compression stockings •Prevent post-thrombotic syndrome ⸻ 6️⃣ Prevention ➊ Early mobilization after surgery ➋ Leg exercises during long travel ➌ Prophylactic anticoagulation in high-risk patients ⸻ 📌 Exam Pearl: Always suspect DVT in a patient with unilateral leg swelling and risk factors → early diagnosis prevents life-threatening pulmonary embolism. ⸻ 📚 Master your medical exams with our innovative medical notes at: 🌐 mediconotes.com ⸻ #MedicoNotes #DVT #PulmonaryEmbolism #MedicalStudents #usmle
