The Most Widely Prevalent PE Symptom of Shortness of Breath
Shortness of breath is often the most common and concerning symptom of pulmonary embolism. Shortness of breath occurs in a large percentage of PE cases, making it a strong indicator for further investigation.
Sudden or worsening shortness of breath can be a red flag for a serious condition like PE. While other symptoms like chest pain, and cough are
CTPA to be the Gold Standard for PE Diagnosis
In diagnosing PE, CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is the dominant diagnostic tool for its higher accuracy, and speed. CTPA provides detailed images of blood vessels in the lungs, allowing for precise identification of blood clots. Moreover, results are available quickly, enabling prompt treatment decisions.
The CTPA diagnosis is less invasive than procedures like pulmonary angiography, thereby reducing discomfort and risk for patients. However, other tests play crucial roles as well. Others prominently include ventilation perfusion scan (V/Q scan), D-Dimer test, and other tests like ECG, chest X-rays, and venous ultrasound.
The choice of diagnostic tool depends on factors like patient history, clinical presentation, and potential risks. CTPA remains the gold standard due to its accuracy and speed, but other tests play a valuable role in a comprehensive diagnostic approach.
PE Medications Most Sought-After PE Treatment
In pulmonary embolism treatment, medications dominate the market segment due to their effectiveness, and wider applicability. Medications like blood thinners (anticoagulants) are the mainstay of PE treatment, preventing further clot formation, and promoting clot breakdown.
These medications cater to a large range of PE severity levels by ensuring minimal invasion, and long-term management. Other treatment segments continue to grow as well, like mechanical devices, and surgery, for more severe cases of PE.
Hospitals Wear the Major End User Tag
Hospitals continue to dominate the adoption of pulmonary embolism treatment solutions. Most PE cases require initial hospitalization for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment initiation with medications or procedures like thrombolysis.
Hospitals have specialists, and equipment necessary for accurate diagnosis and complex PE management. Hospitals provide crucial post-procedural care for patients undergoing surgery or mechanical thrombectomy.
Hospital Pharmacies Top Distribution
Hospital pharmacies hold the dominant position as a key end user category in the pulmonary embolism market. Many PE medications, especially those for initial treatment, are powerful drugs requiring close monitoring.
Hospital pharmacies control access and ensure proper administration. They work with doctors to ensure patients receive the correct medication dosage and address potential drug interactions.
Hospitals often stock a wider range of PE medications to cater to diverse patient needs, and specific treatment protocols. On the other side, retail pharmacies are set to emerge lucrative in the upcoming years, in long-term PE medication management.
