The Current Status Of Multi-Modality Imaging Of Pulmonary Emboli, Rodney C. Fisher, Kimberly L. Onstott

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Background: Pulmonary emboli (PE) have a significant incident rate of 112.3 per 100,000 adults. When age-weighted, the population over 75 has an incident rate of 1 out of 100. 90% of deaths from acute cases occur within two hours of the onset of symptoms. In pregnancy-related deaths, 20% are attributed to PE, and pregnancy increases the risk of the development of PE by 400 – 600%. Significant risk factors for PE include COPD, obesity, recent trauma or surgery, a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a history of hormonal therapy, smoking, and pregnancy. Purpose: This literature review discusses how PE …
