Arm Description

Patients with acute PE will be randomized to breathing supplemental oxygen by non-rebreather face mask first. Subjects will alternate treatments (supplemental oxygen or room air) every 30 minutes for 90 minutes (e.g. T=30, T=60, T=90) and then will maintain their treatment (oxygen or room air) for a total of 180 minutes.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
A study of how supplemental oxygen helps patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Hypothesis: Oxygen affects right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) primarily by relieving hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and reducing pulmonary pressure (PA) pressure, and that this process is metabolically driven.
Detailed Description
In the Emergency Department (ED), investigators will perform a randomized, crossover trial of adult patients with acute PE. Study subjects will be randomized to one of two interventions (supplemental oxygen delivered by facemask) vs. room air. Therapy will be alternated at t=30, t=60, t=90 minutes, and then maintained for 180 minutes. After each treatment change, and at 180 minutes, investigators will: 1) perform echocardiograms to determine how oxygen affects right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) and, 2) draw blood for metabolomic analyses to determine the metabolic pathways that change in response to oxygen therapy.
