Patients with PE diagnosed in the emergency department are very often admitted to hospital. However, according to international recommendations on the treatment of PE, outpatient management with early discharge could be envisaged but is rarely carried out in practice, particularly for non-severe PE (spESI = 0). Current post-pulmonary embolism follow-up involves an early medical consultation with a specialist after discharge from hospital, with follow-up at 1, 3 and 6 months.
