Description of using transthoracic ultrasound in the diagnosis of low-risk pulmonary embolism in a patient after multiple trauma

(1) TUS is a safe, reproducible and inexpensive diagnostic tool. (2) The use of TUS in the diagnosis of PE is well documented, but requires further research including a larger sample size. (3) High sensitivity and specificity of TUS as compared to pulmonary angiography as a reference method, make it a reliable tool in the diagnosis of PE. (4) The lack of blood flow within the consolidated area allows for the exclusion of inflammatory lesions.
