Patient's question:
A woman with a pulmonary embolism has a fetus, what should be done?Doctor's answer:
Pulmonary embolism is a serious issue. If a pregnant woman develops a pulmonary embolism, the safety of the mother is immediately compromised. In severe cases, it can lead to recurrent breathing difficulties because the undirected floating of the embolus can cause pulmonary embolism and result in breathing difficulties. Therefore, if a pregnant woman develops a pulmonary embolism, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. This is also beneficial for the baby, as severe pulmonary embolism in the mother can lead to breathing difficulties for the fetus.
