title: [Analysis of causes of pulmonary artery embolism hypodiagnostics at prehospital stage].
abstract: Aim of the study was to analyze causes of pulmonary artery thromboembolism (PATE) hypodiagnostics at prehospital stage. We compared clinical and electrocardiographic picture of acute period of the disease in groups of patients with diagnosed (n=61) and undiagnosed (n=22) PATE at prehospital stage. We also assessed retrospectively probability of PATE according to Revised Geneva Score. In 49 cases we analyzed dynamics of the acute period of PATE. The analysis showed that in more than 50% of cases hypodiagnostics of PATE was caused by similarity of observed clinical and electrocardiographical picture and that of acute coronary syndrome. There were no differences between groups in Revised Geneva Score.
