Blockage of pulmonary blood flow by a clot or similar obstruction is?
called a pulmonary embolism. It can be life-threatening if not promptly treated as it can restrict blood flow to the lungs, leading to damage and potentially causing respiratory failure. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, and coughing up blood.
What is the predicted oxygen saturation in moderate pulmonary embolism?
In moderate pulmonary embolism, the predicted oxygen saturation may vary depending on the individual, but it is typically lower than normal levels. Patients may present with oxygen saturation levels below 90%, indicating impaired oxygen exchange in the lungs due to the blockage of blood flow to the lungs. Monitoring oxygen saturation is important in assessing the severity of pulmonary embolism and guiding treatment.
Pulmonary relates to which part of the human body?
Pulmonary relates to the lungs in the human body.
If a thrombus in the left common iliac vein dislodged into which arteriole system would it first find its way?
If a thrombus in the left common iliac vein dislodged, it would likely travel to the pulmonary artery via the venous circulation, as this is the most common site for venous thromboembolism to cause pulmonary embolism.

When will air embolism will be symptomatic after air enters the artery?
Yes. If it lodges in the lungs, you will have signs of a pulmonary embolism. Heart=Cardiogenic/Obstructive shock. Brain=Stroke
Why is Pulmonary angiography usually performed?
to evaluate blood circulation to the lungs. It is also considered the most accurate diagnostic test for detecting a pulmonary embolism.
What is a saddle pulmonary embolism?

What are the treatments of a pulmonary embolism?
The main treatments of a pulmonary embolism are anticoagulant therapy, oxygen and analgesia treatments. Most of the patients are admitted to the hospital in early stages of pulmonary embolisms.

Can a blood clot in the lungs travel to the brain?
A blood clot in the lungs, known as a pulmonary embolism, typically originates from a clot in the deep veins of the legs or other parts of the body. While it can cause serious complications in the lungs, it does not travel to the brain. Clots that affect the brain usually originate from the heart or blood vessels in the neck. Therefore, a pulmonary embolism cannot directly lead to a clot in the brain.
