Abstract

Pulmonary embolism during and after pregnancy remains a significant contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality. Symptoms that would be a clear indicator of a pulmonary embolus in the nonpregnant population can be masked by pregnancy and its routine pregnancy-related symptoms. To affect a reduction in this severe maternal mortality indicator, physicians need to maintain a high degree of suspicion coupled with expedient testing.
