Bilateral pulmonary embolism I26.99  The patient is not ill-appearing or toxic upon arrival to the emergency room.  He has quite a bit of pain in the left flank area.  Initially it appeared to be kidney stone type of pain.  The patient has no blood in his urine though.  His urine does not show any infection.  His renal function is within normal limits.  We did do a D-dimer and it came back elevated.  He does not have any troponin leaks.  CT she does show bilateral pulmonary embolisms as well as a possible thrombus in the posterior distal ascending aorta.  These results were discussed with Dr. from Facility.  He did review the scans as well.  He does think that this is a acute versus chronic thrombus in the ascending aorta.  He did recommend getting a CT of the abdomen tomorrow morning to rule out any lesions or tumors as well as any infarcts.  The patient will be put on a heparin drip and admitted observation.  We did have to give him multiple doses of IV pain medication.  Again with certain positions he has quite a bit of pain in that left flank area or distal left lateral chest.  The patient was agreeable with this plan of care.  Dr. was notified plan of care and is agreeable.  We will keep the patient on telemetry and they will adjust the weight-based heparin per protocol.   2.
