Zusammenfassung

Die akute Lungenembolie ist eine häufige und potenziell tödliche Erkrankung in der Intensiv- und Notfallmedizin. Besonders gefürchtet ist die hohe Letalität innerhalb der ersten Stunden nach ihrem Auftreten, sodass schon bei klinischem Verdacht die unverzügliche Einleitung einer rationalen Diagnostik und Therapie von entscheidender prognostischer Bedeutung ist. Die aktuellen europäischen und nationalen Leitlinien zur akuten Lungenembolie bieten zu diesem Thema eine wertvolle und praxisnahe Unterstützung und bilden die Grundlage der vorliegenden Übersichtsarbeit. Ein besonderer thematischer Schwerpunkt liegt in der Vorstellung eines risikoadaptierten und algorithmusbasierten diagnostischen und therapeutischen Vorgehens. Insbesondere auf dem Gebiet der Risikostratifizierung und differenzierten Therapie werden neue Empfehlungen ausgesprochen, die in diesem Artikel diskutiert werden.
