Is pulmonary embolism dangerous

summary

People suffering from pulmonary embolism will be in low spirits, weak and other diseases. The lung is the organ that we all use to breathe. Now the air pollution is so serious that we can ensure our health by protecting the lung. Let's share with you the common problem that pulmonary embolism is very dangerous!

Is pulmonary embolism dangerous

The first is the clinical pathophysiologic syndrome (PE) in which various emboli of systemic circulation fall off and block the pulmonary artery and its branches. The most common pulmonary embolism is thrombus. Pulmonary embolism caused by thrombus is also called pulmonary thromboembolism. The patient suddenly developed unexplained collapse, pale complexion, cold sweat, dyspnea, chest pain, cough and other symptoms of cerebral hypoxia, such as extreme anxiety, burnout, nausea, convulsions and coma.

Second, pulmonary embolism refers to the pathological and clinical state caused by the impaction material entering the pulmonary artery and its branches and blocking the blood supply of the tissue. The common embolus is thrombus, the rest are rare new biological cells, fat droplets, bubbles, intravenous drug particles, and even pulmonary vascular occlusion caused by catheter tip. Because the lung tissue is supplied by bronchial artery and pulmonary artery, and the gas exchange between lung tissue and alveoli can also be carried out directly, most pulmonary embolism does not necessarily cause pulmonary infarction.

Third: complications: acute pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure, followed by pulmonary ischemia, hypoxia and decreased left ventricular output, circulatory failure. Hemoptysis, pulmonary infarction and massive pulmonary embolism can also be combined to cause myocardial ischemia and cardiogenic shock.

matters needing attention

Pulmonary embolism is accompanied by many complications, pulmonary embolism is the blood vessels leading to the lung thrombosis, there may be coughing up blood stasis in the lung, pulmonary embolism is more serious, and there may often be whole body sweating, coughing, causing dyspnea.
