Area of expertise
Pulmonary embolism expert witnesses provide independent medical opinion on the recognition, diagnosis and treatment of blood clots in the lungs. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a form of venous thromboembolism and can cause life-threatening complications.
Overview
What Pulmonary Embolism (PE) expert witnesses cover
Pulmonary embolism issues that may require expert assessment
Specialists may review symptoms, risk factors, clinical assessment and investigations. These may include D-dimer testing, CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) or ventilation–perfusion (V/Q) scanning. They may also assess anticoagulation, prevention and the response to deterioration.
When PE expertise is relevant
In clinical negligence matters, an expert may consider delayed diagnosis, treatment decisions, causation and outcomes. However, the appropriate specialty depends on the patient and care setting.
