Notching into a Diagnosis—Incorporating Doppler Interrogation into Point-of-Care Ultrasonography to Diagnose a Submassive Pulmonary Embolism

The 2023 Core Content of advanced emergency medicine ultrasonography

“…Recent studies have shown the utility of estimating the tricuspid regurgitant jet to detect acute right ventricular strain in evaluating patients with pulmonary embolism in the emergency department. [56][57][58][59] The existing literature extensively supports the use of ultrasound in cardiac arrest. It has been proven to enhance the detection of reversible causes, assess compression quality during CPR, guide resuscitation efforts, and aid in determining survival prognosis based on specific findings.…”

“…CWD is particularly valuable in situations where there is concern for increased right ventricular systolic pulmonary artery pressure, as it can measure the peak velocity of the tricuspid regurgitant jet. Recent studies have shown the utility of estimating the tricuspid regurgitant jet to detect acute right ventricular strain in evaluating patients with pulmonary embolism in the emergency department 56–59 …”
