Patient's question:
Doctor, my friend was carefully diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism. The doctor said this disease is life-threatening to her, and I'm very upset that she suddenly became seriously ill. So I'd like to understand how to alleviate a pulmonary embolism.Doctor's answer:
Mainly, it depends on the primary cause of pulmonary embolism. It is a pathological and clinical diagnostic state caused by a thrombus entering the pulmonary artery and its branches, cutting off blood supply, including acute dyspnea, cyanosis, chest pain, and may even lead to right heart failure, recurrent pulmonary brain edema, aspiration, increased left cardiac output, and circulatory failure. Appropriate rescue measures are required, including oxygenation, anticoagulation therapy, and surgical intervention to alleviate the condition.
