* '''For all Confirmed PE''' or DVT with findings suggestive of PE (Clot in transit or right heart thrombi on TTE/TEE) but unable to obtain CTPA, risk stratify patient for PE Response Team Activation using the [https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/wikem.cf.bucket/images/ED_PERT_Activation_Algorithm_%282026%29.pdf ED PERT Activation Algorithm 2026].
* '''To activate PE Response Team: ''Page the PERT pager p9956 (autopage in Cerner)'''''
** Activation of PERT will lead to a multidisciplinary conference for most optimal care for patient, ED attending can attend
*** PERT helps with treatment decisions and facilitating rapid diagnostics and interventions
*** PERT members include on call members from pulmonary critical care, IR, interventional cardiology, CT surgery, and ECMO team
** '''PERT generally requires CTA to confirm size/location of PE''' as it is needed to guide treatment recommendations (systemic tPA, intravascular intervention, thrombolysis), but TEE may be acceptable
** Detailed PERT Team and PE management information can be found here -> [[Harbor:Admission_and_consultation_guidelines#Pulmonary_Embolus]]
