please comment to each post and ask each a question 1) A deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot that forms in a major vein, most commonly in the lower body (Martini et al., 2017). Deep vein thrombosis can develop by reduced circulation of blood flow leading to venous stasis. This can happen as an outcome of extended paralysis or venous contraction, causing blood flow to become unsteady and buildup forming between blood cells. Deep vein thrombosis can afterwards progress to pulmonary embolism as the clot can become loose and travel as an embolus to the lungs, where it can cause respiratory problems or failure (Martini et al., 2017). As seen by Samantha’s for instance she had established a blood clot in her legs, which would eventually move to her lungs through the vein and restrict her breathing. In addition to the weakened respiratory system, oxygen and blood are unable to circulate freely, which produces an increase in blood pressure and problems breathing.
Deep vein thrombosis treatments would have a primary goal of preventing clots from developing or occurring at all. Treatments might be given based on whether the DVT is acute or chronic. Acute DVT can be treated with medicine, an IVC filter, or DVT thrombolysis, however persistent DVT requires angioplasty and the placement of stents to unblock blocked veins (Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Treatment, n.d.).
2.) DVT is a medical condition that occurs when a blood clot is is formed deep inside a vein usually in the leg or thigh. In Samantha’s case she had a knee surgery and it led to DVT, which is an acute venous obstruction secondary to a thrombus which is a blood clot that is formed in the blood vessel. In the video she kept coughing and had a shortness of breath because that blood clot that she had on her leg travelled from the veins up to her chest causing low oxygen levels to her lungs (pulmonary embolism) and low blood pressure. PE has also occurred because since she had a blood clot, that piece of clot can break and travel to the circulatory system and create an obstruction in the pulmonary system..which is PE. Some treatments that can be used for this is a D dimer blood test, Duplex ultrasound, Venography, and an MRI scan.
