Popis: BACKGROUND: Patients with intermediate-risk acute pulmonary embolism are at risk of hemodynamic deterioration, and identification of risk factors for decompensation could guide the administration of thrombolytics. We aimed to assess whether SpO2/FIO2 on presentation is associated with early hemodynamic deterioration in this population. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of subjects admitted between 2006 and 2018 with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (hemodynamically stable with right ventricle to left ventricle ratio > 0.9 or tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion RESULTS: A total of 178 subjects were included. Early hemodynamic deterioration occurred in 13% of the subjects and was associated with a median (interquartile range) lower SpO2/FIO2 on presentation in univariate analysis (243 [123–275] versus 438 [335–457], P CONCLUSIONS: In intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism, SpO2/FIO2 on presentation can help predict the risk of early hemodynamic deterioration.
