5. Definition - Pulmonary embolism (PE)
It is an embolism in which emboli
occlude pulmonary arterial tree.

6. Pulmonary Thromboembolism
Most fatal form of venous
embolism in which there is
occlusion of the pulmonary
arterial tree.
More than 95% of the cases ā
Venous emboli originate ā
DVT of LowerLimb.
20XX presentation title 6
7. PE
They are carried through
larger channels & usually
pass through the right side
of heart into the pulmonary
vasculature.

8. Site of Origin of Emboli
ā¢ Deep leg veins: DVTs are the source in
more than 95% of cases of pulmonary
emboli.
ā¢ Deep leg veins include popliteal,
femoral or iliac veins.
ā¢ Other sites: Pelvic veins, vena cava.

10. Risk of pulmonary
embolism
Major risk factor is after surgery.
The risk increases with:-
advancing age, obesity, prolonged
operative procedure, postoperative
infection, cancer, and pre-existing
venous disease.

12. EFFECTS OF PE
The effects of PE depend on:
1.Size of the emboli
2.Presence of Presence or
absence of pulmonary
congestion at the time of
impaction.

13. Fate of Pulmonary
Embolism
Fate depends on the size of the embolus.
1. Resolution or organization: Small pulmonary emboli may
travel into
the smaller branches of pulmonary arteries and may resolve
completely.
2. Massive pulmonary embolism: When emboli obstruct 60% or
more
of the pulmonary circulation, it is known as massive pulmonary
embolism.

14. SADDLE EMBOLUS
It is a large pulmonary
embolus which lodges at the
bifurcation of the main
pulmonary artery. It
produces acute massive
obstruction of the blood flow to
both lungs.

17. CARDIAC
TAMPONADE
Cardiac tamponade is a medical
emergency that takes place when
abnormal amounts of fluid
accumulate in the pericardial sac
compressing the heart and leading
to a decrease in cardiac output
and shock.
