Just as Hamlet raised the duality of being at a critical momento, it is necessary to consider the possibility of having a pulmonary thromboembolism or not in each patient who may have some risk factors, since said pathology together with deep vein thrombosis supposes the 3rd most prevalent cardiovascular disease.
Given its nonspecific symptoms, its probability must be assessed in order to optimize the use of diagnostic tests. Furthermore, once confirmed, it will be necessary to stratify the risk of mortality for each patient to decide on the best long-term approach.
Due to this complexity in its evaluation, a review of it seems necessary, which has been carried out by consulting the books indicated in the References section, together with the search for review articles and systematic reviews on the UpToDate and PubMed platforms in the last 5 years in English and Spanish with the key words: pulmonary embolism, critical care, critical patient and anaesthesia.
