The arteries (carries blood away from the heart) have thick muscular walls and small passage ways. They contain blood under high pressure. The last blood vessels is…

Preventing VTE in the Hospital Setting VTE stands for vein thrombosis embolism. Thrombosis is a blood clot that forms in the vein and an embolism is anything that travels through the veins until it gets to a spot where is cannot pass through. Embolism then lodges its self into the vein and occludes blood flow to the rest of that area. “An embolism usually is a piece of blood clot that breaks off but it also can be fat, air, amniotic fluid, a tumor, or a foreign substance such as talc, iodine,…

Three out of the six test tubes were filled to the one centimeter mark with the samples of the hepatic vein, hepatic portal vein, and the mesenteric artery postprandial. The next three test tubes were measured to one centimeter with samples that were extracted from the same areas of the blood vessel system. The difference in the samples was that the second…

patient also had a White Blood Cell Local Study NM which is an imaging test that uses a radioactive material. How it works is that blood is drawn from the vein and the white blood cells are separated from the rest of the blood sample and then mixed with a small amount of indium-111. The tagged white blood cells are injected back into the body through a vein and the cells will gather in areas of inflammation or infection and scans will be taken three hours’…

his lungs.

He was transferred to the critical care unit for anticoagulant therapy to try to dissolve the clots and monitor his condition. His diagnosis was multiple Pulmonary Embolisms and Deep vein thrombosis.

that causes improper functioning of the vein valves in the leg. This is a condition when the venous wall or valves in leg are not working effectively, this makes it difficult for blood to return to the heart. This eventually causes blood to “pool” in your veins, this is known as stasis. This disease causes swelling, skin changes, and ulcers. CVI most commonly occurs as the result of a blood clot in the deep veins of the legs, a disease known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This disease is more…

He has a medical history of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and left total knee replacement. Mr. Browne is admitted to surgical ward for right knee arthroplasty (total knee replacement). This paper discusses the role of the nurse in preventing deep vein thrombosis in both Pre and post-operative care.
