Description
Wei Lee and co-authors present the case of a 64-year-old woman who came to an emergency room with fever and hard breathing, reported in 2026. She had high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and she had just had hip surgery. Her blood pressure was low, her pulse was fast, and the first checks found no clear source of infection.
A bedside ultrasound showed a moving mass in the right side of her heart. A deeper scan confirmed a blood clot that had reached her lungs, a blockage doctors call pulmonary embolism. She was treated with clot-busting drugs sent through a thin tube. The case shows how a fast bedside scan can spot a deadly clot.
