  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Acute fatal pulmonary embolism is one cause of sudden death which should be guarded against. It is the most often missed diagnosis in sudden death cases within the hospital. Clinical pictures of 10 pa-tients with acute fatal pulmonary embolism proved by autopsy were examined to elucidate the problems of diagnosis, and to look for an effective treatment, and a method of prevention. Common risk factors were old age and immobility due to stroke or post-operative state. Common past histories were hyper-tension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, atrial fibrillation and hyperlipidemia. Electrocardiogram and echocar-diogram showed that in these patients there was de-finite evidence of acute right ventricular overload. High doses of intravenous urokinase should be given whenever acute cardiovascular collapse develops in such high risk patients. Emergent pulmonary angio-gram and pulmonary embolectomy could be life-sav-ing in patients with acute massive pulmonary embo-lism. Prevention is, however, the best treatment. In addition to anticoagulation medication, frequent change of body position and early mobilization are important precautions to prevent fatal pulmonary embolism developing in such patients.
