The broken thrombus is often the cause of sudden death.
Pulmonary thromboembolism is one of the most terrible diagnoses, which often leads to death. Cut short the clot in a matter of seconds gets to the pulmonary artery and clog it up, in consequence of which the person is not breathing, their heart stops and he dies. To save the patient, medics have only 2 hours, and this time sometimes is critically insufficient, because not all people are able to recognize the definition, have been slow to call the ambulance.
Risk factors that can lead to the formation and separation of the clot:
Bed rest. This applies not only idlers, but also those who are forced to stay in bed after surgery. Blood flow is sharply reduced in the supine position, and therefore in the veins clots, which at any moment can break. Therefore, doctors recommend mandatory bedridden man to wear a compression garment.
Disadvantages of the profession. Many people on duty have to sit or stand in one place during the day. In this case also need to wear compression garments at least once an hour to move away from the workplace for a few minutes.
The varicose veins. This is one of the common vascular disease today in which the veins may appear blood clots, varicose veins if not treated.
Hormonal contraception. The contraceptive drugs without supervision of a gynecologist is fraught with such consequences as thrombosis and thromboembolism. Therefore it is necessary to pass the examination and make this type of contraceptive by prescription only.
Doctors advise to change your life each of those who used to lie, to sit, to eat much and neglect their own health. By the way, diabetics, smokers, alcohol drinkers, people are also prone to pulmonary embolism.
