Unsuspected Pulmonary Embolism in Observation Unit Patients
Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 09/02/09
Limkakeng AT et al. – The authors identified a small number of patients assigned to observation with unsuspected PE. The high rate of hospital admission and prolonged hospital stay suggests that patients with PE are inappropriate for observation status. Given the low incidence of unsuspected PE, there may be a need for a specific approach to screening for PE in observation unit patients.
