Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and potentially life-threatening condition encountered routinely in acute care. The diagnosis and management of PE has been the topic of National Institute of Health Care Excellence and European Cardiology Society guidelines. The recommendations within these guidelines have allowed standardisation of care and have facilitated the delivery of protocolised care pathways. Whilst some elements of care are determined by consensus view, there have been large randomised controlled trials and well-designed observational studies which have helped us understand the role of risk factors for PE, short term risk-stratification after initial diagnosis and treatment options in hospital as well as in the months after discharge from Acute Medicine. Few other conditions in acute care are informed by the same levels of evidence, yet there are many unresolved questions.
肺栓塞（PE）是急症护理中经常遇到的一种常见病，有可能危及生命。肺栓塞的诊断和管理一直是美国国家卫生保健研究院（National Institute of Health Care Excellence）和欧洲心脏病学会（European Cardiology Society）指南的主题。这些指南中的建议实现了护理的标准化，并促进了规范化护理路径的实施。虽然某些护理要素是根据共识意见确定的，但大型随机对照试验和精心设计的观察性研究有助于我们了解 PE 风险因素的作用、初步诊断后的短期风险分级、住院治疗方案以及从急症医学科出院后几个月内的治疗方案。急症护理中很少有其他疾病能获得同等水平的证据，但仍有许多问题尚未解决。
