Pulmonary embolism with mention of acute cor pulmonale - what does this mean
Pulmonary embolism is a blockage of a pulmonary artery by a clot or other material that has traveled from elsewhere in the body. acute cor pulmonale is a sudden and severe worsening of the right side of the heart due to increased pressure in the pulmonary circulation caused by the blockage, leading to a decrease in oxygen delivery to the rest of the body.
What happens during the disease - pulmonary embolism with mention of acute cor pulmonale
Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which a blood clot blocks one or more arteries in the lungs, causing acute cor pulmonale. the clot usually originates in the deep veins of the legs and travels up the inferior vena cava to the right side of the heart and then to the lungs. this blockage of the pulmonary artery reduces oxygen levels in the body, leading to severe chest pain, shortness of breath, and decreased blood flow to the lungs. in some cases, this can lead to acute cor pulmonale, a condition in which the right side of the heart is unable to pump enough blood to the lungs.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To reduce the risk of death and improve the quality of life of the patient.
- Administer anticoagulant medication to prevent further clot formation.
- Provide supplemental oxygen to improve oxygenation.
- Perform pulmonary thromboendarterectomy to remove the clot.
- Provide mechanical ventilation, if necessary.
- Provide supportive care, such as pain management, nutrition, and hydration.
- Monitor the patient's vital signs and oxygen saturation levels.
- Perform imaging studies to assess the extent of the clot.
- Perform an echocardiogram to evaluate the patient's cardiac function.
- Monitor for potential complications, such as arrhythmias or heart failure.
- Encourage physical activity and rehabilitation to improve the patient's overall health and quality of life.
