4. Pulmonary Embolism (lower probability, no pleuritic pain or hemoptysis)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Oxygen administration and cardiac monitoring
- Aspirin administration (if no contraindications)
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac services
