Pulmonary Embolism: Blood Clot in Lungs
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ม.ค. 2019
- Pulmonary embolism is a blood clot in the lungs. This serious condition requires medical attention as the blockage can cause damage to the lungs and heart. Andrew Mihalek, MD, shares the causes, symptoms, and treatment for pulmonary embolism.
For more information, visit: uvahealth.com/...
A pulmonary embolism, or a PE, is simply just a blood clot that occurs in the lungs. A great majority of people that suffer blood clots will present with shortness of breath, maybe some racing heart, maybe a little bit of chest pain. They come into the hospital. They’re evaluated, usually put on blood thinners, and able to be discharged in a timely manner.
A small group of patients, though, will go on to develop heart strain as a result of that. And that heart strain can come in different flavors. At the more severe side, we talk about people having massive PEs, or PEs that cause hemodynamic instability. It’s a nice way of saying that your heart suffers the consequences of that blood clot, and as a result of it, can’t do its job, which is provide blood pressure to the rest of your body.
Patients that present with massive PEs present with very low blood pressures. It’s a medical emergency. We have designed this multi-disciplinary group where many doctors can come to the table with expertise in their field, to help come up with a treatment plan that works for a patient in the short term, when they come into the hospital, and then also into the long term, when they’re dealing with the consequences of this disease over the next days, weeks, months, or years.
Here at the University of Virginia, we have surgical interventions that can be offered, where the clots are taken out by a cardiothoracic surgeon. We have an ECMO system, which is, essentially, a life-sustaining system for the heart and lungs while the body treats itself. We have interventional radiologists that can offer clot-busting medicine, directly at the site of the clot. We have the facilities of our intensive care units that are able to take care of the patients as they’re going through this very important and very serious time in their life.
I have many big blood clots in my leg. One day my leg swelled up so much and few hours later I was sure I was dying. Went to emergency and they found blood clots in my lungs too. That night I hade emergency surgery by vascular surgeon. I was never so scared in my life, but have to thank God, my surgeon and all nurses and Nurses assistant’s. They truly gave me back my faith in humanity and goodness in people.❤️❤️❤️
I had this last year. At the age of 42. They removed 11 blood clots the size of my fingers. I also had a blood clot stuck in my A artery that blocked 100% of blood flow to the right side of my heart. It was the size of a grade A chicken egg. My symptoms were shortness of breath chest pain and I had felt like I had run a mile and I couldn’t catch my breath at all. I was taken to the hospital where I walked into the ER. The pressure in my heart was over 150. They didn’t know how I was awake and talking. Within three hours I was in the operating room. Then after I was in a bed for 12 hours on the clot buster. I only have one side effect. If I exert myself by simply running up at set of stairs I had to stop and catch my breath. My chances of survival was only 8%.
After you had covid vaccine?
@@moregoldmoregold no. This was just before Covid-19 out break.
got much of the same this easter right lung 3 clots and some they called artio flimmer "makes your heart beat like crazy " but I'm here still up and walking and waiting for my electro conversion next week " going to put some shock to my heart to make it beat normal again but can't complain it could have been way worse
Wow.
How are you now?
Great succinct explanation. I lost my dad a week ago (90 yo) from PE. Low blood pressure in morning for 2 days, then heart failure overnight with blood coughed up. The whole sad experience has been an incredible & rapid education about PE which to be honest, I'd never heard about before.
So sorry for the loss of your dad.
I had heard of them but I didn't like to think it would have happened to me.
Sorry for the Loss of your Father🙏🏽
I am currently in hospital in the UK with this. It has caused major strain to my heart and I am currently undergoing intravenous treatments. If you have any symptoms please get this checked out immediately as this has caused me several complications. Take care everyone.
Are you doing better?
@@jumpy2xstreaming Yeah I am doing much better now thanks for asking. Although I'm now on blood thinners for the foreseeable I'm grateful I recovered if not 100%, enough to lead a fairly normal life.
@@WeirdoTIM I am really glad you're doing better. Might i ask your age and the symptoms you had?
@@Leo-tf3rw Thank you. No worries, the main symptoms I had were; severe chest pain, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath and a high fever.
@@WeirdoTIM I havent been having severe chest pain or a fever but I definitely havent been feeling the same about a week ago. Feeling like I have heart palpitations, some kind of pressure in the chest area, and sudden shortness of breath. It comes and goes and lingers and I'm just wondering if you're beginning symptoms were like this?
I have always had high blood pressure. It's normally around 200/120 and every time we bring my blood pressure down to normal range, I get very light headed and feel like I'm going to pass out.
Well a couple weeks ago I was getting very sick and so sick in fact that I told my wife I had to go to the hospital. I knew I had pneumonia in my right lung, but I didn't know I had pneumonia in my left as well. The doctor came in and asked me what brought me in, this was after they done did X-Ray's and a cat scan.
I told the doctor that I was 100% sure I had pneumonia. She jumped my butt and said yes in both lungs and you have bi-lateral clots in your lungs. You should have came in a week ago!! I said well hell I can't afford to just go to the hospital when I don't feel good. She said to me that I was on the verge of dying and to shut up.
I threw a blood clot and it hit my heart and almost killed me. I was lucky and the doctor was talking to me when it happened. They aren't anything to play with and she said that this was the best outcome. She said had the clot went to my brain, I would've had a stroke.
I still don't feel good and I'm not sure if I want to go back to the hospital again or not. Take care and peace out.
Go to the Hospital! Get some more treatment!
He is coughing all the time and getting tired sweating a lot could not stand or sit more than 2 minutes please pray for him and my Life I started loving him at my 14years now I am 22 till now we're the same and will be too I really didn't even think that our life will bring this many problems please suggest some good hospitals in Chennai so that I can admit him and ask public to contribute what they can give

Is it possible to get it after being hit by a person 5-8 times stronger than you in the chest/lung area ?
In general, trauma does not lead to blood clots inside the blood vessels of the lungs (i.e. "pulmonary embolus"). However, trauma victims that are hospitalized for prolonged periods of time can be prone to blood clots as a result of being confined to their hospital beds.

Great video! I'm also a doctor who publishes medical videos. Good to educate the public about this potential lethal condition. Lung clot is a mimic of all diseases!
how to cure it.. please let me know
Public knowledge about the condition (risk, causes, prevention, consequences) is incredibly scant.
My dad has blood clots with discoloration on his inner thigh region, arm and chest. Local doctor said it's because of high dosage intake of ticagrelor. Could this be DVT??? I'm really scared. I wanna take precautions as this happened few days ago. Pls reply at the earliest.
So sorry to hear about your father. I can only imagine that this is really nerve racking for you. As I am sure you can appreciate, it is almost impossible for us to give any quality medical advice this way without seeing your father in person. If you, or his primary care physician so desire, we have a really great group of physicians that deal with the long term consequences of blood clots. You can reach out to our schedulers to make an appointment with the “vascular medicine” specialists from the department of cardiology at 434-243-1000.
Sir I am taking rivaraxoban for PE and carbamazepine 450 mg for epilepsy..do they interact with each other.please guide sir

Can a chest x-ray detect blood clot in lungs?
Dr. Mihalek replies: While chest rays can detect subtle changes that can be consistent with the presence of a blood clot, they would not be considered diagnostic in this day and age. If a blood clot is suspected, most providers would recommend a CT scan with contrast or a scan called a “V/Q” for investigation.

One of the main risk factors for the development of blood clots is being sedentary. Blood clots have been documented in the medical literature to occur with long plane flights, long car rides, prolonged video game sessions, and even marathon TV watching. Being active is a sure fire way to not only reduce your blood clot risk, but to improve your overall health in general.

Is there a natural way to thin the blood? Without going to hospital?
Dr. Mihalek replies: While there are a number of herbal supplements that can “thin the blood” none are recommended for the treatment of blood clots. Many hospitals, including UVA, have care teams to facilitate the treatment of low-risk blood clots that do not require a hospital stay. As an aside, it would be recommended to consult with your primary physician prior to taking any supplements or taking supplements prior to undergoing a surgery.
Start taking 4 aspirin every 4 hours to dissolve the blood clot.
Can you die from this ?
Thanks for your question. Pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening if undiagnosed and untreated. Once the condition is diagnosed and treated, that risk decreases dramatically.
