Panchmukhi Superspeciality Hospital Pvt Ltd, Patna Offers the Best Treatment for Pulmonary Diseases

Pulmonary embolism is a condition where a blood clot also known as a thrombus becomes lodged in an artery in the lung and blocks blood flow to the rest part of the lung. Pulmonary embolism usually arises from a thrombus originating in the deep venous system of the lower extremities also in other areas in rare cases including pelvic, renal, upper extremity veins, or the right heart chambers. After traveling to the lung, large thrombi can lodge at the bifurcation of the main pulmonary artery and cause hemodynamic compromise that results in risking the lives of the patients making them vulnerable to dust.

Symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism

Patients with pulmonary embolism may present with atypical symptoms that might vary from patient to patient and include the following:-

• Seizures
• Syncope
• Abdominal pain
• Fever
• Productive cough
• Wheezing
• Decreasing level of consciousness
• New onset of atrial fibrillation
• Hemoptysis
• Flank pain
• Delirium (in elderly patients)

Causes of Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism occurs when a clump of material or a blood clot, gets stuck in an artery in the lungs, blocking the flow of blood. Blood clots most commonly come from the deep veins of a patient’s legs, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis. The portions of the lung served by each blocked artery can’t get blood and may die. This is known as a pulmonary embolism. This makes it more difficult for the lungs to provide oxygen to the rest of your body.
