Abstract：Objective To explore the role and significance of standardized scheme for diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary thromboembolism(PTE). Methods The clinical data of 163 consecutive PTE patients who were treated in our hospital from Jan. 1972 to Dec. 2006 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into group A and group B based on the time of application of standardized treatment and diagnosis for PTE. The clinical data of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results The main risk factors included deep vein thrombus,operation, injury, fracture and tumors, etc. Dyspnea was the most important clinical symptoms. The incidences of dyspnea in group A and B were 92. 5% and 84. 6%, respectively. The diagnostic ease and the ratio of final diagnosis in group B was increased compared to those in group A on an annual basis. The median time for diagnosis was shortened (P < 0. 01)and the in-hospital mortality was decreased compared with group A (P < 0. 01). Conclusion The introduction of PTE standardized treatment and diagnosis scheme have greatly promoted the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary thromboembolism.
