Abstract

  Background: Acute pulmonary embolism is an internal medical emergency. Mortality due to embolism is often due to delayed diagnosis and untimely treatment. Therefore, early diagnosis is the decisive step for successful treatment. Objectives: To determine the clinical and subclinical characteristics of an acute pulmonary embolism due to thrombosis at Can Tho Central General Hospital in 2021-2022. Materials and methods: A prospective, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 58 patients with acute pulmonary embolism due to thrombosis at Can Tho Central General Hospital from 2021 to 2022. Results: Average patient age is 69 years old, male/female ratio is 1/2.1. Clinical symptoms are diverse. The most common symptom was dyspnea (81%), and tachypnea (58.6%). The results of lower extremity vascular ultrasound are mostly proximal thrombosis (53.4%); Right ventricular dilatation is a common manifestation of echocardiography; Computed tomography of the pulmonary artery showed that pulmonary embolism mainly occurred in the lobar pulmonary artery (75.9%). Conclusion: Acute pulmonary embolism is no longer a rare disease. Clinical symptoms of acute pulmonary embolism are diverse. Pulmonary embolism mainly occurs in the lobar pulmonary artery.
