Population

2 outpatients with isolated lower limb injury treated with plaster cast immobilization, presenting with fatal pulmonary thromboembolism and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Intervention

Lower limb immobilization by plaster cast

Outcome

Development of fatal pulmonary thromboembolismhard clinical

Lower limb plaster cast immobilization for isolated injuries can be a strong risk factor for fatal pulmonary thromboembolism, suggesting a potential need for prophylactic anticoagulation in patients with low bleeding risk.
