Clinical Impact of Pulmonary Embolism Response Team Consultation at a Single Tertiary Care Center

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the role of a Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) in the treatment of PE. They explain that PERT is a multidisciplinary team that develops treatment plans for patients with PE. The speaker presents research findings on the impact of PERT on mortality, length of stay, and other outcomes. They conclude that PERT consultation is associated with lower mortality, shorter hospital stays, and faster anticoagulation. However, they also note that only 54% of eligible patients received PERT consultation, highlighting the need for increased awareness and implementation of PERT teams. The speaker encourages further research on PERT consultation specifically, rather than just the existence of a PERT team.
