The Diagnosis and Management of Pulmonary Embolism and Infarction

EDWIN M. GOYETTE M.C., U.S.A.1

1 The Medical Service, Fitzsimons Army Hospital, Denver, Colorado.

1) Pulmonary emboli and infarction are common, serious complications in patients confined to bed for one to three weeks by an operation, fracture, delivery, or medical illness.

2) Pulmonary infarction is not an inevitable sequel of pulmonary embolization.

3) The signs and symptoms vary widely.

4) The diagnosis is usually easy, but is frequently missed. The unforgivable sin is not in missing the diagnosis but in not considering it.
