Computed Tomography Yield and Predictors of Pulmonary Embolism in Mechanically Ventilated Patients—A Retrospective Study
The report describes a single center experience, including 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic, with computed tomography pulmonary angiography performed to evaluate suspected pulmonary embolism in mechanically ventilated ICU cases. An elevated D-dimer as well as high degree of clinical suspicion were associated with a positive pulmonary embolism finding on the radiological examination.
