Pulmonary embolism (a blood clot or pulmonary) is a sudden blockage in a lung artery. Usually it is the reason a clot in the leg called "deep vein thrombosis", where the clot is released and moves with the bloodstream until it reaches the lungs. And pulmonary embolism serious condition that can lead to: • permanent damage in the affected lung. • Low level of oxygen in the blood.
• damage in other organs of the body due to lack of oxygen. • If a large thrombus, or there was a large number of clots, it is possible that pulmonary embolism leads to death. Symptoms at half the patients with pulmonary Palansmam not appear. When symptoms occur are as follows: difficulty breathing or chest pain, or cough with blood out with sputum. The symptoms of the presence of thrombus in the leg are the hottest leg, with swelling, pain and redness where reluctantly. And it is the goal of treatment is to break up clots and prevent the formation of new clots.
an introduction
Pulmonary embolism is a sudden blockage in a lung artery. The resulting blood clot in the leg liberated usually travels in the bloodstream, until it reaches the lungs. Pulmonary embolism serious condition that can cause permanent damage in the affected lung, and a decrease in the level of oxygen in the blood, and damage to other organs. The serious pulmonary emboli can be fatal. This educational program reviews the causes and symptoms of pulmonary embolism. About the diagnosis of this condition and treatment also displays.

ackground Information
This chapter deals with some basic expressions that we need to understand pulmonary embolism. Those who know what is the artery, and what are the blood clot, and what is embolization exceed this chapter. There are two types of the body's blood vessels: vessels carry blood from the heart to the body parts are called arteries, and vessels transporting blood from all parts of the body Vtaidh to the heart are called veins. Blood is a clot to stop bleeding when injured skin or hurt one of the members.

As it can be clots formed within the body and blood vessels. Clot that formed in place of the body and travels in the bloodstream to another place called Ansmama or stain. It called the lungs and respiratory system on behalf of the pulmonary system. The clot that infect the lungs, called pulmonary embolism. The arteries that go to the lungs become small with lung entering more and more. This allows the exit of carbon dioxide from the blood into the exhaled air.
And allows oxygen to enter the blood from the air inhalation. Blood clot which closes an artery in the heart causing a heart attack, the blood clot which closes an artery in the brain causing a stroke. Pulmonary embolism leads to blockage of one or more of the arteries of the lung.
Pulmonary embolism (pulmonary embolism)
Pulmonary embolism is a sudden blockage of the pulmonary arteries in the end. One of the pulmonary arteries, which often result from a clot travels from a vein in the leg to the lung. Pulmonary embolism serious condition that can cause damage in Alrih.ozlk because of the death of part of the lung, which is fed by the artery blocked by the clot. Pulmonary embolism from blood's ability to carry oxygen also decreases. As the blood takes less than the amount of oxygen in this case, the level of oxygen in the body decreases.

Pulmonary embolism from blood's ability to carry oxygen also decreases. As the blood takes less than the amount of oxygen in this case, the level of oxygen in the body decreases.
This is what can cause harm to other organs in the body such as the heart. Thus, the heart needs to work more strongly to pump more blood to the body gets what he needs oxygen. If a large clot led to a blocked artery embolism large, they can cause death. If it is small, it may not be fatal, but can cause great damage.
Pulmonary embolism is often the complication of the disease called deep vein thrombosis, where blood clots form in the deep veins of the body. This is what happens in the veins of the legs often. This can be liberated clots, and are transported in the bloodstream, is up to the lung and a clog arteries. If untreated pulmonary embolism, about thirty percent of patients die. And most of them die within the first hours of the occurrence of embolization. But, can the rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment that Enqma lives, and help the prevention of complications of pulmonary embolism.
Symptoms of pulmonary embolism are:
Sudden shortness breathe.
Respiratory problems.
Chest pain.
Cough frequently or blood out with coughing.
Feelings of anxiety or panic.
Sudden shortness breathe.
Respiratory problems.
Chest pain.
Cough frequently or blood out with coughing.
Feelings of anxiety or panic.
In some cases, only the symptoms of deep vein thrombosis symptoms do not appear, namely:
Leg swelling or swelling of the path of one of the veins in the leg.
Pain or reluctantly in the leg.
You should see a doctor immediately when you see any symptom of pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis. And pulmonary embolism can sometimes happen without any symptoms of the patient.

Causes and risk factors
Blood clots in the deep veins of the legs are formed if blood flow is disabled and slow. Can be deep vein thrombosis happens if the person remained motionless for a long time, and it happens, for example:
After certain types of surgery.
During a long trip in a car or plane.
Inherent in having to bed a long time.

Blood clots are often formed in the infected veins due to surgery or in other ways. Increased risk of pulmonary embolism occur with age. Doubles the risk of pulmonary embolism occur once per decade after the age of sixty. The person who has already suffered deep vein thrombosis is the most vulnerable to injury Palansmam pneumonia. The same applies to a person who has already been wounded Palansmam pneumonia. There are other factors also can increase the risk of pulmonary embolism, such as:
That the person bedridden or unable to walk.
Fracture in the bone.
Some diseases, such as chronic heart ailment or high blood pressure.
Smoking.
Diseases that increase the "stickiness" of blood, and some are hereditary.
Women taking hormonal drugs or pills to prevent pregnancy more vulnerable than the rest of the women to the risk of venous thrombosis is deep.

Diagnosis
For the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, the doctor patient history of the person and ask examined clinically, it could be asked some analysis. You can conduct CT scan to check for clots in the lungs and legs. You can control the flow of blood in the body through imaging or Doppler ultrasound. Also, these methods in imaging allows visualization of blood clots in the veins of the legs. Employ a method of ventilation and perfusion imaging pulmonary radioactive substance is harmless to show the flow of oxygen and blood in each lung regions.

The pulmonary vascular imaging tests used to diagnose pulmonary embolism. Being the introduction of a flexible tube through the groin or arm, until it reaches the blood vessels in the lung. Sabbagh also being injected in the blood vessels so that blood flow in the lungs on the radiographs show. You can also conduct various blood tests. It can be made magnetic resonance imaging to obtain detailed images inside the body.
Treatment
The main goal of treatment is to prevent pulmonary embolism increasing the size of the clot, and prevent the formation of new clots. According to the health status of the patient, the doctor can recommend pharmacological or surgical treatment or other treatments. Treatment is often given blood thinners to reduce the tendency of the blood to clotting. If the patient's condition serious as to threaten his life, his doctor may prescribe a special medication eliminates the clot quickly.

In rare cases, the doctor may recommend surgical treatment or other action to remove the clot of the lung. If the patient was not able to eat fluidized blood drugs, or if these drugs did not work, the doctor put "refinery" or "candidate" in the vein that carries blood from the lower extremities to the heart it has been recommended.
This "filtered" to prevent clots from moving from the legs to the lungs or pelvis. Can be graded compression stockings succeed in reducing chronic swelling or continuous, which can be caused by a blood clot in the leg. These socks pushed hard on the ankle, and the secret of the pressure as we head to the top. This prevents blood stagnation pool.
The prevention of pulmonary embolism
Prevention starts from pulmonary embolism prevention of deep vein thrombosis. It is important to know whether a person is exposed to the risk of venous thrombosis deep, and take steps to reduce the risk of infection. For the prevention of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, it is important to move the muscles of the legs when you sit for a long time while traveling.

It is necessary for the patient to surgery or bedridden out of bed and walking as soon as he can. You can also take drugs that prevent clots after certain types of surgery, according to the recommendation of a doctor. Care must be taken to adhere to the teachings of the doctor to confirm the effectiveness of what you do in the prevention of clots. If the patient has been infected by the deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary Palansmam, it is possible to take other steps to prevent the formation of new blood clots. You should see a doctor regularly.
As should wear compression stockings for prevention of chronic swelling in the legs because of deep vein thrombosis, depending on the doctor's recommendations. You should contact your doctor immediately if you notice any symptom of pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis.
Conclusion
Pulmonary embolism is a sudden blockage in a lung artery. The reason is a clot in the leg usually called deep vein thrombosis, liberated and then moved with blood until they reached the lung. Pulmonary embolism serious condition that can cause permanent damage to the lungs and other members of the weakness in the circulation of blood. Sometimes death has caused.

Pulmonary embolism serious condition that can cause permanent damage to the lungs and other members of the weakness in the circulation of blood. Sometimes death has caused.
Symptoms of pulmonary embolism are shortness of breath or chest pain, or blood out with a cough. The symptoms of blood clot are the hottest and swelling, pain and redness reluctantly and in the leg. Should consult a physician regarding the risks of these two cases, and methods of prevention of health problems in the future.
