The dangers of deep vein clots in the leg



Complications of deep vein clots in the leg, a serious lung and occur without obvious symptoms

Indicate the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the published of the first month of March (March) pointed out that the «clots deep vein» and «paid vascular lung» two of the major health problems in the United States, and also in all over the world without exception.

Official statistics show the United States that about 600 thousand people are injured in one of these cases Asahitin, each year, and that result, at the very least, die 100 people a year in the United States because of clots, deep vein and its implications affecting negatively on the health status and quality of life.

Within the health education campaigns in the United States, devoted this month to raise awareness of DVT, or so-called «deep vein thrombo» Deep vein thrombosis, which cut to DVT.

Remember centers that each person to know whether there has one or some of the «factors increased the likelihood of risk» risk factors of stroke veins.

As you must know the steps that can be applied to protect oneself from infection with these intravenous thrombolysis.

Deep veins
Blood vessels, largely, are the tubes were being blood. It is known that there are two types of blood vessels, are the veins and arteries.

Simply put, the arteries are the blood that are outside of the heart, which has been pumped into the arteries as a result of contraction of the heart muscle. And veins are blood vessels that the blood passes when the return journey to the heart.

Unlike the superficial veins are highly visible when looking skin, there is a network of deep veins that do not see with the naked eye.

These veins at risk of blood clot cases, which originated from the blood clot Almottaglt that either completely block blood flow in the veins, and have either fallen apart, and thus move to places of deeper and more important in the body.

Signs of venous thrombosis
The majority of these cases affect the deep veins in the legs or thighs. If I got this case, the skin was examined affected area, notice the following signs:

- Heat and warm when you touch the skin.

- The complaint of pain, even without touching the skin of that region.

- Swelling or swelling in the leg or thigh.

- Redness of the skin.

However, medical sources confirmed that the United States about 50 per cent of people who have a stroke veins, do not show symptoms indicate its presence.

Therefore, doctors note for the possibility of its existence, without symptoms, and diagnosis of infection through screening X-voice technology, Doppler, or other means of X-ray inspection, and must be addressed without delay, so that the danger is that the break up of these blood clots solid relatively to move to the blood vessels within the lung, which results in the case of «hit vascular lung» (obstructive vascular pneumonia) pulmonary embolism, or move gestures such clots veins to block a blood vessel network in the coronary arteries of the heart, results in a stroke heart attack. Or move those gestures venous clots to the brain blood vessels, which results in the case of stroke.

Obstructive pulmonary vascular
Sources indicate that there are several symptoms of the infection status of «paid pulmonary blood vessels», including:

- The difficulty, even slightly, breathing freely and easily.

- Increase, more than usual, in the number of heartbeat.

- Feeling a little narrow or pain in the chest. Particularly when it is getting worse and increase the pain when taking a deep breath or when coughing.

- Emission of sputum mixed with blood.

- Reduction in the amount of blood pressure, dizziness, or loss of consciousness.

Mechanism of blood clotting
There are three major mechanisms, one gets through the blood to clot abnormally, in the course of the veins.

The first relates to the mechanism not to give the opportunity to facilitate the continued flow of blood through the veins, as can happen when you sit for long periods or sleep for long periods, without moving the muscles of the legs or thighs.

It is known that the movement of muscles contribute to the pressure of blood within the veins, and thus move the blood and not to give the opportunity to tranquility, Tjlth.

The second mechanism related to the existence of a problem in the natural order of balance between clotting and liquidity in the blood, and the third related to disorders in the walls of blood vessels.

The period after surgery is one of the most significant periods of time that the high risk of stroke, deep vein, so that the movement of the person carrying During the very long time, no anesthesia and time spent on the surgery and after surgery, until you can start the patient standing and walking.

Therefore, surgeons keen interest in this matter for the prevention of chronic health problem.

Risk factors
Researchers at the «American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons» put a list of the definition of patients most susceptible to stroke, deep vein.

They include the people who have:
- Hit a stroke earlier in the lung blood vessels, or stroke, deep vein in the leg or thigh.
