Patients were divided into two groups. One group of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism were diagnosed pneumonia, heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. The other group of patients were not pulmonary thromboembolism and were misdiagnosed.ResultsFive patients with pulmonary thromboembolism were diagnosed pneumonia, 7 and 3 patients were diagnosed heart disease and cerebrovascular disease, respectively. In the other group, 4 patients with lung or mediastinal tumors, 2 with pneumonia and 1 with bronchiectasis were diagnosed pulmonary thromboembolism.ConclusionIt is essential to correctly diagnose pulmonary thromboembolism, especially emergency physicians should master diagnosis method of pulmonary thromboembolism and reduce the rate missed of diagnosis.
