This can be serious because the blood clot may break off and travel in the bloodstream until it gets lodged in another part of the body, such as the lung.

Diagnosis of VTE by physical examination is frequently inaccurate, even though one study found that 80% of pregnant women with DVT experience pain and swelling of the lower extremity. It’s true that the risk of VTE is higher during pregnancy by 5 to 10 times (with the highest risk in the postpartum period). Pulmonary Embolism in Pregnancy: Diagnostic Dilemmas Epidemiology of pulmonary embolism in pregnancy. In the United States, PE is the sixth leading cause of maternal mortality [ 4-7 ]. 37b) This guideline provides advice on the immediate investigation and management of women in whom venous thromboembolism (VTE) is suspected during pregnancy and the puerperium. Mortality from PE in pregnancy might be related to challenges in targeting the right population for prevention, ensuring that diagnosis is suspected and adequately investigated, and initiating timely and best possible treatment of this disease. <]>>

[New 2015] There should be clear local guidelines for the dosage of LMWH to be used. Several key components such as clinical prediction tools, risk stratification, laboratory tests, and imaging widely used for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism in the non-pregnant population show limitations for diagnosis in pregnancy.
