Abstract
We present a case of an 83 years-old-male who presented to the emergency department at a tertiary hospital with cardiac arrest and was immediately transported to the resuscitation bay. He was diagnosed with respiratory failure, right heart strain and shock. At a later point, after 30 minutes of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and hemodynamic stabilization with two vasopressors, it was decided to confirm pulmonary embolus diagnosis with CT angiography. We present a case study with positive results despite faint chances of success due to an aggressive approach to large pulmonary embolus, in part owing to multidisciplinary response team, rapid diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention.
