Distinct clinical manifestations of a PE include elevated heart rate, respiratory rate and SOB. During a PE, the lungs slowly start to dysfunction due to a build-up of fluid, the PE affects the gas exchange resulting in the body becoming hypoxic and SOB. The body tries to compensate by increasing the respiratory rate to get more oxygen in, resulting in the present of tachypnoea (Ireland, 2017).
