Brief Summary
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment with supplementary oxygen added to conventional anticoagulant treatment in patients with Intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of the treatment with supplementary oxygen added to conventional anticoagulant treatment in patients with Intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Normal right ventricle function at 48 hours
Right ventricle (RV) to left ventricle (LV) diameter ratio equal or less than 1.0 measured 48 hours after initiation of therapy in normotensive patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE).
48 hours
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Modification RV -LV 7 days
7 days
Study Arms (2)
Supplementary oxygen
EXPERIMENTALSupplementary oxygen added to conventional anticoagulant treatment.
Standard medical therapy
NO INTERVENTIONStandard management.
Interventions
Supplementary oxygen during the first 48 hours added to conventional anticoagulant treatment. Patients will receive anticoagulant treatment according to updated guidelines.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Confirmed PE by multidetector computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (MDCT).
- Disfunction of right ventricle (RV to left ventricle \[LV\] diameter ratio \>1.0 in the apical 4-chamber view) in the echocardiogram performed in the first 12 hours after PE diagnosis.
- Signed and dated informed consent of the subject.
You may not qualify if:
- \<18 years old.
- Allergy to iodinated contrast.
- Renal failure defined as a creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min, according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula.
- Use of chronic oxygen therapy.
- Hypercapnia (pCO2 \>50 mmHg at the time of diagnosis).
- Technically inadequate basal echocardiography.
- Contraindication to anticoagulant therapy.
- Symptoms duration \>10 days.
- Haemodynamic instability.
- Participation in other clinical trial for PE treatment during the present clinical trial.
- Inability to use mask or nasal prongs.
- Life expectancy less than 90 days.
