Abstract
Abstract: Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potential noncardiac cause of cardiac arrest with unfavorable prognosis. Maintaining a high degree of clinical suspicion, use of bedside focused cardiac ultrasound and computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) aid in rapid management. Thrombolytic therapy with anticoagulation is indicated in treatment of massive PE provided that there are no contraindications and there is low risk of bleeding. We present a case of massive PE with multiple cardiac arrests who successfully responded to systemic thrombolysis along with anticoagulation, barring a moderate bleeding complication.
摘要：大面积肺栓塞（PE）是导致心脏骤停的潜在非心脏原因，预后不良。临床上应保持高度怀疑，使用床旁心脏聚焦超声和计算机断层扫描肺动脉造影（CTPA）有助于快速处理。在治疗大面积 PE 时，如果没有禁忌症且出血风险较低，可采用溶栓治疗和抗凝治疗。我们介绍了一例伴有多次心跳骤停的大面积肺栓塞患者，该患者成功接受了全身溶栓和抗凝治疗，除中度出血并发症外，无其他并发症。
