Rachel Rosovsky, MD, MPH, discusses the STORM-PE study, which showed the benefits of adding CAVT to anticoagulation for PE.

Pulmonary embolisms don't always announce themselves... sometimes they ambush. One minute your patient is walking with physical therapy, the next they're hypotensive, hypoxic, and coding. This re-released early episode dives deep into why PE patients can look deceptively stable… right up until they aren't.In this episode, I revisit one of my earliest case-based teachings on pulmonary embolism, updated with an added segment on vasopressin use in obstructive shock from PE. Through real bedside stories from my time as a rapid response and ER nurse, we break down the physiology behind PE-related collapse, why intubation isn't always the answer, and how to think through management when the right ventricle is failing in front of you. This is a sobering but essential refresher on one of the most dangerous diagnoses we encounter.Topics discussed in this episode:Why pulmonary embolism is a common cause of in-hospital cardiac arrest (even if it's not common overall)Classic and subtle PE presentations and why they're often missedA real-time rapid response case: stable to crashing in minutesRisk factors for PE and the anticoagulation double-edged swordObstructive shock explained: what's actually killing the patientRight ventricular failure, septal bowing, and the spiral of deathWhy intubation can worsen outcomes in massive PEVasopressors in PE: norepinephrine, epinephrine, and vasopressinThe unique benefits of vasopressin in obstructive shockThrombolysis vs. thrombectomy: when TPA helps — and when it's deadlyBedside echo findings that point to massive PEWhy PE patients can crash during transport (and what to always bring)Nursing vigilance, rapid escalation, and activating help earlyWhen perfect care still isn't enough and the heart of nursing in end-of-life momentsMentioned in this episode:CONNECT

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 12-18-2025: Dr. Dawn opens by examining how market competition is actually working in the weight loss drug sector. Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy compete against Eli Lilly's Monjaro and ZepBound, with prices dropping nearly 50% as companies launch direct-to-consumer websites. The main barriers remain needles and refrigeration, driving development of oral versions. Novo's Wegovy pill awaits FDA approval for early 2026 launch at $150 monthly. Next-generation drugs show remarkable results: Eli's retatrutide causes 24% weight loss in 48 weeks, while Novo's Cagrisema combines semaglutide with amylin to reduce muscle loss. Pfizer paid $10 billion for Metsera's once-monthly drug despite significant side effects. A quick fiber tip suggests adding plain psyllium to morning coffee for cardiovascular and microbiome benefits. Start with half a teaspoon and work up to two teaspoons (10 grams) over several weeks to avoid gas. The prebiotic fiber improves glucose tolerance and may reduce cancer risk. UC San Diego scientists discovered why cancers mutate so rapidly despite being eukaryotic cells with protected chromosomes. The answer is chromothripsis, a catastrophic event where the enzyme N4BP2 literally explodes chromosomes into fragments. These reassemble incorrectly, generating dozens to hundreds of mutations simultaneously and creating circular DNA fragments carrying cancer-promoting genes. One in four cancers show evidence of this mechanism, with all osteosarcomas and many brain cancers displaying it. This explains why the most aggressive cancers resist treatment. Research from 2013 shows any glucocorticoid use significantly increases venous thromboembolism risk, with threefold increases during the first month of use. The risk applies to new and recurrent clots, affecting both oral and inhaled steroids, though IV poses highest risk and topical the lowest. Joint injections fall somewhere between inhaled and oral. Anyone with prior blood clots should avoid steroids except for life-threatening situations like severe asthma attacks requiring ventilation. A meta-analysis of 20 randomized controlled trials shows creatine supplementation helps older adults (48-84) maintain muscle mass when combined with weight training two to three times weekly. The supplement provides no benefit without exercise. Recommended dosing starts at 2 grams and works up to 5 grams daily. Vegans benefit most since they consume little meat or fish. Important caveat: creatine throws off standard kidney function tests (creatinine), so users should request cystatin C testing instead for accurate renal health assessment. A new JAMA study suggesting risk-based mammogram screening is fatally flawed. First, researchers offered chemopreventative drugs like tamoxifen only to the high-risk group, contaminating the study design. Second, the demographics skewed heavily toward white college-educated women, missing the reality that Black women face twice the risk of aggressive breast cancer with 40% higher mortality. Third, wild-type humans failed to follow instructions—low-risk women continued getting annual mammograms anyway while high-risk women skipped recommended extra screenings. The conclusion of "non-inferior" outcomes is meaningless given poor adherence. Stick with annual mammograms, and consider alternating with MRIs for high-risk women. The EAT-Lancet report condemns red meat based purely on observational data showing correlations with heart disease, cancer, and mortality. But people who eat lots of red meat differ dramatically from low consumers: they weigh more, smoke more, exercise less, and eat less fiber. Studies can't control for sleep quality, depression, or screen time. Notably, heavy meat eaters also die more in accidents, suggesting a risk-taking lifestyle phenotype. The inflammatory marker TMAO is higher in meat eaters, but starch is also pro-inflammatory. Eating red meat instead of instant ramen might improve health. A balanced diet with limited amounts beats epidemiology-based blanket statements. Dr. Dawn grades Dr. Oz's performance as CMS administrator. Starting at minus one for zero relevant experience, he earns plus two for promoting diet, exercise, and gut health on his show. He studied intensively after nomination, calling all four previous CMS directors repeatedly and surrounding himself with experienced staff (plus one). He finalized Medicare rules favoring prevention over surgery and earned bipartisan praise as "a real scientist, not radical" (plus one). He divested healthcare holdings but kept some blind trust interests (minus 0.5). He's developing a CMS app and partnering with Google on a digital health ecosystem (plus one), but supports ending ACA subsidies that will raise premiums for millions (minus one). He correctly promoted COVID vaccines and contradicted Trump's Tylenol-autism claims (plus one). Final score: 3.5 out of 5 possible points, the only positive score for any Trump health administrator.

Venous Thromboembolism refers to the presence of blood clots in veins, in particular deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. We cover both, including Virchow's Triad and the pathophysiology of pulmonary embolism. Also included are the signs and symptoms of pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of both. PDFs available here: https://rhesusmedicine.com/pages/respiratoryConsider subscribing (if you found any of the info useful!): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRks8wB6vgz0E7buP0L_5RQ?sub_confirmation=1Buy Us A Coffee!: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/rhesusmedicineTimestamps:0:00 What is Venous Thromboembolism?0:32 Normal Cardiac and Pulmonary Circulation 0:59 Deep Vein Thrombosis Pathophysiology (& Most Common Veins)1:24 Pulmonary Embolism Pathophysiology 3:52 Venous Thromboembolism Pathophysiology (Virchow's Triad)5:32 Signs and Symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis5:49 Signs and Symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism6:25 Venous Thromboembolism Diagnosis8:18 Pulmonary Embolism ECG Findings8:53 Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis / Pulmonary EmbolismLINK TO SOCIAL MEDIA: https://www.instagram.com/rhesusmedicine/ReferencesStone, J., Hangge, P., Albadawi, H., Wallace, A., Shamoun, F., Grace Knuttien, M., Naidu, S. & Oklu, R., 2017.

Welcome back to the tasty morsels of critical care podcast. This is the second of 2 parts on PE in critical care. The first focused on risk stratification and this one will focus on management. There is a link to a transcript of a more comprehensive talk with references on emergencymedicineireland.com for those keen enough to dive a little deeper. As noted in the last podcast this one leans very heavily on “in the my experience” level of the evidence pyramid and should be weighted as such. For this discussion I’m going to assume your patient is in the ESC High risk category, ie hypotensive with a PE on imaging and you’re satisfied that the PE is causing the hypotension. I do believe there is a tiny cohort of the PE population who warrant aggressive reperfusion even with a normal appearing BP but at this stage I cannot say I have any evidence or guidance to really identify who they are and back that up. For the original talk I gave on this to an EM audience, I split the interventions into helpful , distractions, and not helpful. It was probably a little bit of a provocative division if I’m honest. The slide is on the site for reference and viewing it will likely make what follows more edifying. For the resus room patient in the first 30-60 mins I feel comfortable to standby my assertion that a short list of “helpful interventions” should includes lysis, anticoagulation, noradrenaline, oxygen and some CPR. In the ICU however we’re often present both at the first 30-60 mins but over next hours and many of the items on the “distraction” list become a little more relevant with time. Number 1 on my list of helpful interventions is thrombolysis. As mentioned, if you have found PE and you have satisfied yourself that the sickness and hypotension you’re seeing is caused by that PE then you need to have a good reason not give thrombolysis. The evidence base is not high level RCTs but it is a class 1 recommendation on the ESC guidelines and the list of class 1 interventions is really quite short. In the 25 year old in resus with a massive PE day 3 after an arthroscopy the decision here seems pretty straightforward. However in the post trauma patient in the ICU with massive PE with a small traumatic SAH and an improving SDH and a recent laparotomy then the decision is orders of magnitude more complex and you may well find a very good reason why lysis is not an option. There is not a straightforward answer to lysis because it will vary from patient to patient but I would emphasis that it is a question worth dedicating a decent chunk of your cognitive bandwidth to. Dosing in an unstable patient is often 10mg of alteplase followed by 90mg over 2 hrs. Dosing in a cardiac arrest situation is typically a 50mg bolus. Anticoagulation is one of the other class 1 recommendations on the ESC list. Opinions vary on agent of choice. With my ICU hat on I will almost always advocate for UFH as I feel confident that if i stop it, the heparin effect will be gone in a couple of hours when the inevitable bleeding starts. Opinions vary and I know smart people who advocate for LMWH in this scenario with one of the arguments being you probably get more reliable and quicker anti Xa effect. Both the guidelines and your esteemed narrator recommend against volume resuscitation. Dumping a litre of crystalloid into the venous circulation will shift the IVS further towards the left impairing cardiac filling and doing the opposite of what you intended. A much better resuscitation fluid would be noradrenaline. This is remarkably effective in improving BP and perfusion and I have often used it when I am 90% sure the patient has a PE but haven’t quite got the CT scan to prove it. The noradrenaline can also buy you a little time to make a better decision about the lysis and reperfusion, converting what would have been an immediate decision into something that you maybe have more like 30 mins to make. Certainly if the noradrenaline dosage is rising and the right heart is struggling then adrenaline would be my add on inotrope of choice. Of course we know in the ICU we have a plethora of other agents available to us with lots of theoretical advantage on pulmonary vascular resistance etc. They would rarely be my first line, certainly not in the ED population but I would often reach for them a little further down the line once i have a better handle on the physiology and what they might tolerate. Enough to say that staring someone on 0.5mcg/kg/min milrinone as a single agent with a starting BP of 60/40 is not likely to end well in this context Oxygenation is strongly endorsed given its proclivity for reduction in PVR, however intubating someone in this context to facilitate oxygenation is likely to result in a catastrophic haemodynamic collapse. The adage “resuscitate before you intubate” or even “reperfuse before you intubate” has some relevance here. I find CPR to be helpful in the context of massive PE, not simply for the usual reasons of preserving some degree of forward flow but I suspect there is a mechanical effect of breaking up or moving clot more distally. I have frequently seen stuttering intermittent ROSC in this context. I would suggest caution with the mechanical CPR devices as the presence of a liver lac in the context of tPA is unlikely to be well tolerated. While not available or that relevant to the emergency medicine population I do think the addition of nitric in the ventilated ICU patient who develops nasty PE seems like a low risk intervention with potentially massive gains. There is a small RCT of nitric in the spontaneous breathing PE population that did not however show benefit. I put mechanical devices in the “distraction” category in my original talk as I don’t think they have much relevance in the early stage of resuscitation. However if you have kept them alive long enough or if you have a true contraindication to lysis or a failed lysis then they may well have a role. I have found the evidence base so far here decidedly underwhelming and for catheter directed lysis in particular i struggle to see how a mg/hr tpa via a pulmonary catheter is any different than a mg/hr of tpa via a peripheral IV line given that the entire venous return ends up in the pulmonary circulation either way. The thrombectomy devices are certainly more compelling from a physiological perspective and the obvious and dramatic changes in physiology on removal of clot are quite compelling. But they are a tremendous faff requiring a catheter akin to an ECMO catheter to be threaded into the pulmonary circulation. The recent PEERLESS trial gave an average 90 min procedure time emphasizing the need to keep the patient alive long enough to receive the intervention. I do feel this has a role in our management quiver I am just unsure what that role is, but more evidence in the coming years will likely clarify VA ECMO is undoubtedly a fantastic physiological support for a dying PE patient but bear in mind it is almost definitely not available to you in the vast majority of hospitals in the Ireland and the UK. PERT teams are groups of relevant physicians willing to weigh in on difficult PE cases to advise on management. I put PERT teams in the distraction category. And I feel bad about that because they're usually filled with knowledgeable and enthusiastic people . But there are 2 errors I've seen on this that we should be aware of. One is on us as primary clinicians where we outsource the decision to lyse in someone who has a clear indication. This is not necessarily the fault of the PERT team but there is risk to the patient in delaying as it is a tremendous faff trying to get hold of the relevant people and then get them to agree. The second distraction that can happen is the recommendation for interventions in a patient that they have not seen and are not present to. A couple of times I have had to talk people out of IR interventions that frankly were not needed because the patient was getting better with conventional treatment. Do not underestimate the importance of being at the bedside and seeing the patient and evaluating response to treatment. Surgery, in terms of pulmonary embolectomy is the third and final class 1 recommendation in the ESC guidelines for high risk PE. All be it with a very low evidence rating. It gets talked about in papers and guidelines but you're talking about taking someone who is already mostly dead into theatre, lined, anaesthetised, chest opened and onto bypass. There probably is a role for it somewhere and in certain institutions and it's often raised in the context of contraindications to lysis but those same contraindications to lysis usually apply to the 30000 units of heparin you need to get them on bypass. It seems to suffer from the old goldilocks flaw of “not sick enough” for theatre or “too sick” for theatre I have clearly done way beyond my usual brevity in this scenario but honestly didn’t think anyone could tolerate a 3rd part on PE. Full refunds are available on request For further reading it is probably best to visit the original lecture post where the relevant papers are all listed with a little smattering of critical appraisal thrown in for good measure.

CardioNerds Critical Care Cardiology Council members Dr. Gurleen Kaur and Dr. Katie Vanchiere meet with Dr. Yash Patel, Dr. Akanksha, and Dr. Mohammed El Nayir from Trinity Health Ann Arbor. They discuss a case of pulmonary air embolism, RV failure, and cardiac arrest secondary to an ocular venous air embolism. Expert insights provided by Dr. Tanmay Swadia. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy intern, Grace Qiu. A 36-year-old man with a history of multiple ocular surgeries, including a complex retinal detachment repair, suffered a post-vitrectomy collapse at home. He was found hypoxic, tachycardic, and hypotensive, later diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism from ocular venous air embolism leading to severe right heart failure. Despite a mild embolic burden, the cardiovascular response was profound, requiring advanced hemodynamic support, including an Impella RP device (Abiomed, Inc.). Multidisciplinary management, including fluid optimization, vasopressors and mechanical support to facilitate recovery. This case underscores the need for early recognition and individualized intervention in cases of ocular venous air embolism. US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds!

Pearls- Clear Vision, Clouded Heart: Ocular Venous Air Embolism with Pulmonary Air Embolism, RV Failure, and Cardiac Arrest Hypoxia, hypotension and tachycardia in a patient following ocular instrumentation are classic findings suggestive of pulmonary embolism from possible air embolism. The diagnosis of RV failure is based on clinical presentation, echocardiographic findings (such as McConnell's sign), and invasive hemodynamic assessment via right heart catheterization. Mechanical circulatory support can be considered as a temporary measure for patients with refractory RV failure. Central Figure: Approach to Pulmonary Embolism with Acute RV Failure Notes - Clear Vision, Clouded Heart: Ocular Venous Air Embolism with Pulmonary Air Embolism, RV Failure, and Cardiac Arrest 1. What is an Ocular Venous Air Embolism (VAE), and how can it be managed in critically ill patients? An Ocular Venous Air Embolism is defined as the entry of air into the systemic venous circulation through the ocular venous circulation, often during vitrectomy procedures. Early diagnosis is key to preventing cardiovascular collapse in cases of Ocular Venous Air Embolism (VAE).  The goal is to stop further air entry. This can be done by covering the surgical site with saline-soaked dressings and checking for air entry points. Adjusting the operating table can help, especially with a reverse Trendelenburg position for lower-body procedures. The moment VAE is suspected, discontinue nitrous oxide and switch to 100% oxygen. This helps with oxygenation, speeds up nitrogen elimination, and shrinks air bubbles. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can reduce bubble size and improve oxygenation, especially in cases of cerebral air embolism, when administered within 6 hours of the incident. Though delayed hyperbaric oxygen therapy can still offer benefits, the evidence is mixed. VAE increases right heart strain, so inotropic agents like dobutamine can help boost cardiac output, while norepinephrine supports ventricular function and systemic vascular resistance, but this may also worsen pulmonary resistance.  Aspiration of air via multi-orifice or Swan-Ganz catheters has limited success, with success rates ranging from 6% to 16%. In contrast, the Bunegin-Albin catheter has shown more promise, with a 30-60% success rate. Catheterization for acute VAE-induced hemodynamic compromise is controversial, and there's insufficient evidence to support its ...

Evaluation Of Long-term Key Outcomes And Safety In Pulmonary Embolism: The EKOS-PE Study

Dr. Allison Greco, pulmonary and critical care specialist at Bellevue Hospital, sits down with Dr. Emily Gutowski and discusses the initial presentation, workup, and management of a patient with a pulmonary embolism. They go through diagnostic modalities, scoring systems, and the various treatment options for patients depending on their risk profile. They discuss provoked vs. unprovoked PEs, and recommendations for longer term anticoagulation.

How do you predict which intermediate-risk patients will suddenly deteriorate? What role do risk scores, biomarkers, imaging, and hemodynamics play in decision-making? Should these patients receive anticoagulation alone, or is thrombolysis warranted? When should you consider catheter-directed or surgical interventions? This podcast focuses us to think critically about risk stratification, early interventions and escalation in care in PE. We include an algorithm in the show notes. Not all patients fit neatly into classification boxes, making clinical judgment crucial. Join Dr. Lauren Westafer, Dr. Justin Morgenstern, Dr. Bourke Tillman and Anton as they explore the key decision points, pitfalls, and lifesaving strategies for managing intermediate-risk PE in the ED...

For this episode we are joined by EBM guru, Dr. Brian Locke, who deftly breaks down all of our statistics questions. Is half dose DOAC as good as full dose DOAC for preventing VTE, and does it reduce bleeding risk? Can procalcitonin reduce duration of antibiotics for infections without compromising mortality rates? Can LLMs like GPT-4 help physicians manage patients better? Can reinforcement learning models predict when to start vasopressin in patients with septic shock? What is the risk of resuming anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation and prior intracerebral hemorrhage? Is high flow nasal cannula as good as non-invasive ventilation for different types of respiratory failure?

A pulmonary embolism is a condition in which vessels in the lungs are blocked by a thrombus or other material that has traveled from somewhere else in the body. This is usually a result of a venous thromboembolism, but can also be due to amniotic fluid, air or fat embolus, or tumor material in patients with cancer. A key thing to understand about pulmonary embolism is that the airway is not occluded. In pulmonary embolism, one or more blood vessels are occluded. What this means is that blood coming from the right side of the heart isn't able to pass freely through the pulmonary vasculature to participate in gas exchange, which negatively affects perfusion. In this episode you'll learn: Pulmonary embolism pathophysiology Which of your patients are at highest risk for having a PE Common signs and symptoms of PE Priority nursing assessments Tests utilized to evaluate or diagnose PE Treatments for PE, including pharmacological and surgical And more!
