RE: Pulmonary Embolism- How Susceptible Are You To It?

in #science7 years ago (edited)

Risk factors for vein thrombosis are almost always expected. With common prolonged immobilization and venous stasis in the veins of the lower limbs. Surgery: orthopedic, pelvic, abdominal and especially oncology are the first ones responsible for pulmonary embolism
In the surgical environment, more than half of the pulmonary embolisms occur before the 15th postoperative day. Cancer: lung, digestive system, breast and uterus are known risks. Chemotherapy would increase this risk. Thank you for the informations.
