Picture
Thanks to Dr. Troha's diligent efforts, we will be initiating a new protocol to help streamline the decision making and coordination of care for patients with small PEs, Submassive PEs, and Massive PEs. 

Step 1: Risk stratification
- Obtain BNP, troponin, perform echo and assess vitals

Step 2: If massive or submassive, call out Code PE. Pull Code PE pack that contains treatment algorithm and lysis checklist

Step 3: Administer heparin

Step 4: Assess bleeding risk using lysis checklist

Step 5: If decision is made to give IV lysis, stop heparin drip during infusion

Step 6: If decision is made to administer catheter-based lysis, contact interventionalist on call
