Characteristics and Short-Term Outcomes of Patients With Acute Pulmonary Embolism Requiring Intubation

This study aimed to characterize the outcomes of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) who required intubation and to assess the incidence of hemodynamic instability during this process. The findings revealed that over half of the patients experienced significant hemodynamic deterioration, with serious complications such as cardiac arrest occurring frequently. The authors emphasize the need for caution during intubation in PE patients and call for further research to develop effective management strategies.
