What is the difference between an embolus and embolism?
An embolus is a physical mass (fat, air, blood clot, etc) which can travel to a different location in the arteries. An embolism is when an embolus actually blocks a capillary. A thrombus is a physical mass which remains attached to it's site of origin. A thrombus may detach to become a thrombo-embolus which may then cause an embolism.

Why is pnss used in blood transfusion?
Plain Normal Saline Solution or PNSS is used after blood transfusion because it is the only compatible diluent or 'cleaner' after transfusion. Its sole content of Sodium and Chloride does not cause blood reactions that may be dangerous to the client. D5LRS for example is discouraged as it has calcium which is a clotting factor. Introducing D5LRS after blood transfusion may cause massive thrombosis or clotting. sicnarf619 UCC-College of Nursing PH
