Abstract (2. Language): 
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially lethal condition. Most patients who succumb to pulmonary embolism do so within the first few hours of the event. Despite diagnostic advances, delay in diagnosing PE is common and represents an important issue. In these patients, recurrent embolism and death can be prevented with prompt diagnosis and therapy. Unfortunately, the diagnosis is often missed because they present with non-specific signs and symptoms. Here we present a case of an elderly female patient who sustained intra-operative massive pulmonary embolism leading to cardiac arrest during bipolar hemiarthroplasty for intertrochantric fracture femur.
