The 27 pages that link to Pulmonary embolism, each with the reason it gives.

• HypoxemiaRelated: Blocked perfusion creates ventilation–perfusion mismatch and may reduce arterial oxygen.

• ThrombosisRelated: A venous thrombus can detach and obstruct blood flow in the lungs.

• Deep vein thrombosisRelated: A fragment of a leg DVT can travel to the lungs and block an artery.

• Pulmonary hypertensionRelated: An acute embolism differs from chronic thromboembolic disease, though persistent clots can cause pulmonary hypertension.

• Ventilation–perfusion mismatchRelated: Blocked perfusion leaves ventilated lung regions with high ventilation–perfusion ratios.

• Pleural effusionRelated: Pulmonary embolism can cause a small, often exudative pleural effusion.

• ThrombolysisRelated: Systemic thrombolysis may be used for pulmonary embolism causing hemodynamic instability.

• CapnographyRelated: Reduced lung perfusion can widen the gap between arterial and end-tidal carbon dioxide.

• CyanosisRelated: A large embolism can impair oxygenation and cause acute cyanosis.

• Virchow's triadRelated: It is a major consequence of venous thrombosis shaped by the triad's risk factors.

• Antiphospholipid syndromeRelated: It can occur when a venous clot associated with the syndrome embolizes to the lungs.

• HyperventilationRelated: It can cause rapid breathing and low arterial carbon dioxide through respiratory distress.

• ApixabanRelated: Apixaban can treat pulmonary embolism and help prevent another event.

• RivaroxabanRelated: Rivaroxaban treats pulmonary embolism and reduces the risk of another event.
