Abstract

ALFONSO FIGUEREDO, Ernesto et al. Pulmonary tromboembolismo. Rev cubana med [online]. 2016, vol.55, n.3, pp. 224-238. ISSN 1561-302X.

Thromboembolic disease has high morbidity and mortality. It comes in a wide spectrum of patients. It remains an important diagnosis in the care of medical emergencies so we decided to do this literature review in order to update the increasingly necessary knowledge about the diagnosis and behavior that must be undertaken in such cases. Given that its diagnostic by imaging is increasingly difficult, the clinical method is valuable in this shocking disease and its prevention. Not to mention that despite being standardized each patient's individuality must be evaluated.

Keywords : Pulmonary thromboembolism; deep vein thrombosis; chest pain; dyspnea; anticoagulacion; thrombolysis.
