Why do people die from a pulmonay embolism?
A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery in the lung, cutting off blood flow. This can lead to lung tissue damage, decreased oxygen levels in the blood, and potentially fatal complications such as cardiac arrest. People can die from a pulmonary embolism due to the lack of oxygen reaching vital organs, causing organ failure.
What are the lungs called?
They are called vital organs. Vital Tongans, Vital Tongans,
What vital organs would be affected from an embolus from the left side of the heart?
If an embolus were to travel from the left side of the heart, it could potentially affect vital organs such as the brain, lungs, kidneys, or other parts of the body supplied by the systemic circulation. Depending on the size and location of the embolus, it could lead to serious conditions like stroke (if it reaches the brain) or pulmonary embolism (if it reaches the lungs).
When and how are vital signs measured and monitored?
Vital signs are measured and monitored during instances when a patient is needing a check-up, when you need to update yourself (and the doctor) of the status of the patient, to be able to know if the there are significant changes that is of concern, during routine medical examinations for work, abroad travel, for personal needs and they are also monitores if the patient wishes to have them checked.
What diseases have a small vital capacity?
Diseases that can lead to a small vital capacity include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), neuromuscular disorders such as muscular dystrophy, and restrictive lung diseases like pulmonary fibrosis. These conditions can result in decreased lung function and reduced ability to fully inflate the lungs, leading to a smaller vital capacity.
Can you describe a pulmonary embolism and how it develops in a right leg?
Pulmonary embolisms usually start out as a DVT or deep vein thrombosis or a blood clot in one of the major veins. These can form for a number of reasons. If someone has blood that is more prone to clotting than others or if they don't move for an extended period of time which would allow the blood to pool in the vein. When the clot has formed it will stay in the limb that it had started in for a period of time, mine was stayed in my leg a week before moving. When it moves it follows the blood flow to the lung, then it gets stuck there again causing the pulmonary embolism or lung blood clot. The sequential order of a blood clot in the leg or DVT is pieces of thrombus break off and travels up the vein to the inferior vena caba to the right atrium, through the biscupid valve to the right ventrical, then through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery into the lung. Until it gets to a portion of artery that is so small the clot can't pass any further. At that point the clot forms an obstruction.
Can a patient be unconscious and have normal vital signs?
yes
What is a sentence using baseline vital signs?
When the patient came in he was unstable, but after treatment he returned to baseline vital signs.
Gastric Bypass Surgery Complications for the Obese Patient ?
In 2004, an estimated 140,000 people underwent gastric bypass surgery. The morbidly obese patient presents with additional complications for surgery including gastric bypass surgery. Insertion of an anesthesia tube into an airway may be difficult. Fat absorbs drugs and anesthetic gases, requiring a much higher dose. Large amounts of fat separating the abdominal organs often slip obscuring vital organs. Suturing may be difficult with fat covering organs. Pulmonary embolism and post-operative pneumonia occur more often in an obese patient. The size and depth of wound can present for a more complex recovery. A skilled and knowledgeable surgery team is imperative.
Why is it important for emergency service workers to get vital signs from accident victims?
Vital signs are an indication of the patient's condition and can help diagnose problems. A pulse that is strong is an indication of a stable patient, for example. One that is weak and thready may indicate the patient is in shock or has other injuries. So the vital signs give the workers an indication of what needs to be done in order to stabilize and transport the patient.
What is meant by relaxed and forced vital capacity?
force vital capacity is measure when the patient is ecxhating with maximal speed and effort
What are some vital statistics?
In terms of an incoming emergency room patient, vital statistics include: pulse and blood pressure.
