aUp to 45% of children with indwelling central venous catheters will develop thrombosis (1). Catheter-related thrombosis may lead to serious events, such as catheter malfunction, thrombophlebitis, pulmonary embolism, stroke, or death (1-5). Efforts to prevent these complications have had varying...
Does obesity cause pulmonary embolism? Does osteoporosis cause spinal stenosis? Does myasthenia gravis cause muscle atrophy? Does ketosis cause cardiac arrhythmias? Does ischemic heart disease cause CHF? Are strokes a cardiovascular or neurological disease?
Apulmonary embolism, which is a sudden obstruction of an artery of the lung frequently caused by a blood clot, is a less common but more serious cause. It can even lead to a stroke when untreated. Worsening of the disease is the most common cause in people with a chronic heart or lung...
including delirium, dementia, disorientation, psychosis and speech difficulties; aphasia; deep vein thrombosis; complications from anesthesia; phlebitis (vein inflammation); pulmonary embolism (sudden blood vessel obstruction); aborted procedures (air embolism, unable to find target, surgical complicati...
Does aspirin prevent pulmonary embolism? What does a high platelet count mean? Does alcohol affect platelet count? Does blood platelet count fluctuate? Can TB cause low platelets? What is high platelet count called? Can low platelets cause a stroke?
[16]. The evaluated clinical outcomes included: acute myocardial infarction (AMI); Bell’s palsy; cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST); Guillain-Barré syndrome; myocarditis and pericarditis; stroke; pulmonary embolism (PE); and vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) [16]. ...
These clots can then travel to the lungs, causing a potentially fatal condition known as pulmonary embolism. DVT is a particular risk for long-haul flights, as passengers may spend several hours sitting in cramped conditions without the ability to move around. To reduce the risk of DVT, it ...
Pulmonary embolism (PE) protocols advocate for pulmonary embolism response teams (PERT) to manage high-risk (HR-PE) and intermediate-high-risk (IHR-PE) presentations. This research project aimed to analyze the outcomes of a PERT program's influence on mortality, when compared with results stemmin...
Although there have been no reports of pulmonary embolism as the cause of sudden death among recreational and professional cyclists from autopsy case series,11, 12, 13 the potential risks of proximal DVT, large clot burden, and subsequent risk for hemodynamically significant pulmonary embolism or ...
