  1. PULMONARY EMBOLISM Dr. Mohammad ABD-EL-SABOUR Professor of Pulmonary Medicine Ain Shams University

  2. Pulmonary Embolism, Infarction • Embolism : Impaction of a thrombus or foreign matter in the pulmonary vascular bed. • Infarction : The pathological changes which develop in the lung as a result of pulmonary embolism.

  3. Pulmonary Thrombo-embolism • Thrombosis of peripheral veins , embolization of pulmonary arteries , and pulmonary infarction. • Primary thrombosis in pulmonary arteries and veins

  4. Pulmonary Embolism, Prevalence • PE : The cause of, or a major contributory factor to, death in 7-9% of necropsy cases • PM Pul. Angiographic technique : 14-18% • Considering smaller thrombi : 60% • PE is a major contributory factor to death in 50 000-200 000 patients per year in USA

  5. EMBOLUS • Thrombotic • Non-thrombotic : Fat, Air, Tumour , Amniotic fluid, IV Drug abusers.

  6. Pathogenesis of Vascular Thrombosis • Decrease in blood flow below a certain critical level. • Increase in coagulability of blood. • Damage of the vessel wall.

  7. Bed rest Post-operative After severe blood loss and trauma CCP CHF Varicose veins Advancing age Obesity Post-partum Malignancy DM Pneumonia Debilitating diseases 1ry polycythemia Race, Diet RISK FACTORS

  8. PE, Clinical Features • Size of the embolus and blood vessel occluded. • State of the lung. • Associated disease(s).

  9. PE , Clinical Features • Massive Pulmonary Embolism ( MPE ) • Pulmonary Infarction ( PI ) • Obliterative Pulmonary Hypertension

  10. Massive Pulmonary Embolism MPE • CLINICAL SETTING • ELDERLY,POSSIBLY OBESE • AROUND THE 10th DAY POST-OP. • CALLING FOR BED-PAN • EXPIRING SUDDENLY OR WHILE IN THE ACT OF DEFECATION • IMMEDIATELY FATAL,2/3 DIE IN THE FIRST TWO HOURS

  11. SHOCK DYSPNEA APPREHENSION TACHYCARDIA SWEATING CHEST PAIN FAINTNESS CYANOSIS AF COLLAPSE Massive Pulmonary Embolism MPE

  12. MPE, Differential Diagnosis • Myocardial Infarction. • Dissecting Aortic Aneurysm. • Peumothorax. • Major Pulmonary Collapse. • Shock. • Perforating Peptic Ulcer. • Acute Pancreatitis.

  13. CARDIOGENIC PULMONARY EDEMA • SUDDEN ONSET OF DYSPNEA • SOMETIMES SEVERE CHEST PAIN • PINK FROTHY SPUTUM • EXTREME ANXIETY AND ORTHOPNEA • DIAPHORESIS AND CYANOSIS • TACHYPNEA AND AIR HUNGER • WHEEZING • DIFFUSE MOIST RALES,GALLOP

  14. ACUTE PULMONARY EDEMA IN COPD • HISTORY OF PREVIOUS HEART DIS. • SUDDEN,NOT ACUTE OR INSIDIOUS, ONSET OF DYSPNEA • PINK FROTHY SPUTUM • DIFFUSE MOIST RALES,PULSUS ALTERNANS,GALLOP,MURMURS • CXR,ECG,ABG

  15. PNEUMOTHORAX • SHARP UNILATERAL CHEST PAIN • DYSPNEA;EXTREME IN TENSION PNX • PRIMARY, SECONDARY, TRAUMATIC, BAROTRAUMA • TACHYPNOEIC • RAPID LOW VOLUME PULSE • HYPOTENSION • SURGICAL EMPHYSEMA

  16. PNEUMOTHORAX • UNILATERAL BULGE • TRACHEAL SHIFT • HYPER-RESONANCE • DIMINISHED INTENSITY OR ABSENT BREATH SOUNDS • CXR • INTERCOSTAL TUBE DRAINAGE

  17. MASSIVE PULMONARY COLLAPSE • CLINICAL SETTING • TRACHEAL SHIFT • UNILATERAL DULLNESS • DIMINISHED OR ABSENT BREATH SOUNDS • CXR • BRONCHOSCOPY

  18. COMPREHENSIVEASSESSMENT • HISTORY : PT., PT.’S RELATIVES, WITNESS • PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: GENERAL RESPIRATORY CARDIOVASCULAR

  19. COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT • INVESTIGATIVE STUDIES • ECG • ABG • CXR • ELECTROLYTES • ENZYMES

  20. Pulmonary Infarction, Pathology • Blood Vessels: Engorgement, Hemorrhage from distended necrotic capillaries, Granulation tissue repair , Fibrous scar • Bronchioles: usually survive, may turn bronchiactatic

  21. Pulmonary Infarction, Pathology • Bacterial Infection : Abscess Source : embolus, blood-borne, bronchi . • Pleural Complications : Pleurisy, Pleural effusion, Empyema.

  22. Pulmonary Infarction, Clinical Picture • Pleuritic chest pain, Pleural rub, Pleural effusion • Hemoptysis: in only 50% of cases • Finding the source of embolization: in only 60% of cases • Tachcardia( more than 100/ min ) Tachypnoea • Jaundice, Cyanosis

  23. Pulmonary Infarction, Clinical Picture • Locally: No Physical Findings, Consolidation, Diminished Intensity of Breath Sounds, Crepitus, Wheezing Chest • Pleural Rub • Signs of Pleural Effusion

  24. Pulmonary Infarction, Clinical Picture • With Infection: Worsening of the Clinical Status: Abscess or Empyema • Persistent Fever, Malaise, Sweating • Increasing Pulse Rate • Leucocytosis more than 20 000 • Chest X-Ray
