Özet
Rationale: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common diagnostic consideration for patients who present to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain, dyspnea, or both. In addition, PE has a very high mortality in patients who are hemodynamically unstable. An electrocardiography, bedside transthoracic echocardiogram, and computed tomography pulmonary angiogram are usually performed to confirm the diagnosis.
