Can blood gas levels predict survival after a pulmonary embolism?
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test (the anion gap) can help predict survival in patients with acute pulmonary embolism. It aims to find out if this measurement can guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses heart signals and blood tests to predict how well your heart will recover over a year after a pulmonary embolism. It may help doctors tailor your care based on your personal risk.
This trial studies a tool that uses CT scan results and heart blood tests to predict the chance of serious outcomes after an acute pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung). It may help doctors identify higher-risk patients sooner.
This study looks at blood test results and CT scan findings in people who have just been diagnosed with a blood clot in the lung. Researchers want to understand which tests best predict how serious the clot is and how patients will recover.
