Changes in Care for Acute Pulmonary Embolism Through A Multidisciplinary Pulmonary Embolism Response Team. [PDF]

Am J Med, 2020
Optimal management of acute pulmonary embolism requires expertise offered by multiple subspecialties. As such, pulmonary embolism response teams (PERTs) have increased in prevalence, but the institutional consequences of a PERT are unclear.We compared all patients that presented to our institution with an acute pulmonary embolism in the 3 years prior ...

Early-term outcomes of the pulmonary embolism response team. [PDF]

Pak J Med Sci, 2022
Objective: Treatment of pulmonary embolism varies according to the different clinical presentations. Pulmonary embolism response teams (PERT) might improve outcomes of pulmonary embolism with faster evaluation and increased usage of advanced treatment methods. In this study, the effects of PERT for the treatment of pulmonary embolism were investigated.

The Pulmonary Embolism Response Team: Rationale, Operation, and Outcomes. [PDF]

Int J Angiol, 2022
AbstractThe pulmonary embolism response team (PERT) is an institutionally based multidisciplinary team that is able to rapidly assess and provide treatment for patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Intrinsic to the team's structure is a formal mechanism to execute a full range of medical, endovascular, and surgical therapies.

One-day experience of pulmonary embolism response team (PERT) during the COVID-19 pandemic: three urgent percutaneous pulmonary embolectomies in acute pulmonary embolism [PDF]

Advances in Interventional Cardiology, 2021
Percutaneous pulmonary embolectomy (PPE) is a rapidly evolving therapy in selected acute pulmonary embolism (APE) patients [1–5]. Novel percutaneous procedures tend not to be common, even in reference centers.

Pharmacists as members of an interdisciplinary pulmonary embolism response team. [PDF]

J Am Coll Clin Pharm, 2022
AbstractIntroductionPulmonary embolism response teams (PERTs) were developed to assist with diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of intermediate and high‐risk pulmonary embolism (PE) and have been shown to reduce 90‐day mortality. The pharmacist's role on the PERT is not well defined.ObjectivesDescribe the pharmacist's role as a PERT member ...
