摘要
Although pulmonary embolism in children is rare, it is important for the pediatric emergency medicine provider to be aware of its presentation and emergent management. We present a case of bilateral pulmonary embolisms in an adolescent patient to illustrate the benefits from the timely diagnosis of right ventricular dysfunction by point-of-care echocardiography performed by emergency medicine physicians. Ultrasonographic techniques and the emergent management of pulmonary embolism are reviewed.
