Acute lung embolism is an uncommon but recognised complication of deep venous thrombosis. The parameters RTG, ECG, PaO2, PaCO2, LDH, CPK, SGOT, SGPT and pulmonary ventilation/perfusion scan have been examined in 200 patients with pulmonary thromboembolism. For that purpose discrimination values of synopticly relevant RTG findings, arterial blood gas and enzymes analysis results and pulmonary ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy, were observed in a comparative analysis of numerous data that could be integrated as an unique finding in sense of qualitative diagnosis. The most frequent symptom was dyspnea and tachypnea, often accompanied with other symptoms (84%), chest pain (65%), cough (53%), tachycardia (41%), hemoptysis (26%). In 74% of patients pulmonary thromboembolism the significant simultaneous increase of all the mentioned enzymes, except CPK, was found 75%. However, according to the results in 58% of the examined persons the pathologic changes on RTG (infiltrates of the lung, with or without affection of the pleura and changed position of diaphragma) were found, and 71% on ECG. Pulmonary ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy is the precise examination for acute lung embolia. For the routine clinical examination measurement of PaO2, PaCO2, LDH, ECG, x-rays is sufficient (correlation test + 0.56). In this paper we have presented our own diagnostic-therapeutic protocol in of lung emboly. |
