Abstract
This research investigates the execution and consequences of Pulmonary Embolism Response
Teams (PERTs) in Pakistan, which aim to improve the prompt evaluation and management of
pulmonary embolism (PE). Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe cardiovascular disorder marked
by the presence of blood clots that block the pulmonary arteries. This condition presents
considerable difficulties in terms of diagnosis and treatment. The establishment of PERTs,
consisting of a variety of medical experts, seeks to offer a comprehensive and interdisciplinary
strategy for controlling PE. The study investigates the actions and results of PERTs at four
specialized facilities in Pakistan, analyzing data from 680 patients with proven pulmonary
embolism (PE). The main results show that doctors are better at diagnosing problems, that advanced
treatments like catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
(ECMO) are being used more, and that the death rate in hospitals has gone down significantly. The
findings indicate that a well-coordinated and interdisciplinary approach greatly improves patient
outcomes and maximizes the efficient use of resources in the therapy of acute pulmonary embolism
(PE).
