2 Proposed diagnostic algorithm for patients with suspected high-risk PE, i.e. presenting with shock or hypotension. *CT is considered not immediately available also if the critical condition of a patient allows only bedside diagnostic tests. #Transoesophageal echocardiography may detect thrombi in the pulmonary arteries in a significant proportion of patients with RV overload and PE that is ultimately confirmed by spiral CT; confirmation of DVT with bedside CUS might also help in decision-making.
