这是什么?
肺栓塞是指血凝块阻塞向肺部供血的动脉。血凝块可能在腿部、骨盆、腹部(肚子)或心脏的静脉中形成。血凝块会从最初形成的地方移动并随血液行进。然后停留在向肺部供血的动脉中。肺栓塞是一种严重且可能危及生命的疾病。
家庭医生现在会做些什么?
Your GP will refer you immediately to the Emergency Department. The hospital can give medications straight into a vein (intravenously, IV) so they can have an immediate effect. The doctors at the hospital may also do further tests and discuss treatments including blood thinners or surgical procedures. You might be offered a Hospital in the Home service (see ‘What supports are available?’).
家庭医生将来会做些什么?
从医院回来后,需要定期去看家庭医生。家庭医生将帮助你:
• 了解在医院接受的治疗情况
• 了解如何使用给你开出的任何新的药物,以及服用多长时间
• 帮助你了解如何降低未来血栓的风险
• 与你讨论定期运动,改变饮食,减肥和戒烟
