www.nucleusinc.com This 3D medical animation shows a blood clot forming in a lower leg vein, creating a deep vein thrombosis, or DVT. When the thrombus breaks free of the valve, it is called an embolus, and travels toward the heart and lungs. The animation ends by showing the embolus lodging in the lung tissue forming a life-threatening pulmonary embolism (PE). See more 3D medical animations from Nucleus Medical Art at http ANC00004
that is bach’s cello suite no.1
Nice!
what’s the name of that song
Yes I agree this is a Great Demo….:)))
awesome
i dont really understand this. my lecturer gave this link as related to blood clotting, but i dont understand. the 1st part is as if watching pinball, the blood cell.
Perfect.
This can also be prevented via the use of an SCD, or a sequential compression device. DVT, et.all is many times caused by a knee surgery and/or replacement, so often the Px is older or is non-ambulatory. The SCD pump basically blows air into a sleeve which is around the patient’s leg, thereby causing superficial compression on the area(s) most likely to develop DVT, and prevents the clots from forming. Along with the use of a CPM, (moves leg passively) it can be very effective therapy.
ummmmmm… what was that?!?that was not very cool.
nice 1 …. wery benifical for clearing concepts …….
Yeah. LOOTTA SPORT
I really dont see how Bach fits into this animation. This is like the most overused song in Youtube ever, ever! as someone else has said already though
always excercise……especially ones that involve your legs…..
That is a scary thought… is there a way to prevent this?
Depends on if the clot is acute or chronic. Acute being new. Yes, a piece off the clot can break off and travel to the heart and cause cardiac arrest, or if it doesn’t affect the heart it can travel past the heart to the lungs. Both life threatening Symptoms: swelling in the affected leg, discolored skin, pain or tenderness, etc.
You have two systems of veins. A superficial system and a deep system. Most likely you clotted off the superficial system. It wouldn’t hurt to have an ultrasound done to make sure it hasn’t propagated to the deep system. You should be fine.
well first of all is there a scab?
dose it ever bleed?
go see a doctor before bad things happen or death becouse you couldof stapled you vane
knowlegableeeeeeeeee
…thats retarted,go see a doctor,or can you even drive?
help me, a friend at school dared me to staple my leg, so istapled my calve muscle and now there is a lump where i stapled what do i do.
its a blood clot
Yes, it is life threatening. Depending on the size of the embolus, is how quickly it will kill you. You will have chest pain and difficulty breathing almost immediately though.
its very good
So, would this be life threataning? I mean, right away? Or would you feel worse and worse and pop off?
or better name for the blood ball is a thrombus.
