Prevention of lower extremity venous thrombosis

What are the preventive measures for lower extremity venous thrombosis?

1. Surgery, immobilization, and hypercoagulable state of blood are high-risk factors for lower limb venous thrombosis. Anticoagulants and anti-aggregant drugs should be given, and patients should be encouraged to do active movements of their limbs and get out of bed early. These are the main preventive measures for lower limb venous thrombosis.

2. Nursing measures include: General treatment: rest in bed, elevate the affected limb, use diuretics appropriately to reduce limb swelling, and when the condition permits, wear medical elastic stockings or elastic bandages and get up and move around appropriately.

3. Some anticoagulant drugs can be used appropriately for prevention. For example, anticoagulant drugs commonly used in clinical practice include low molecular weight heparin sodium, warfarin, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, etc. However, these drugs must be used under the guidance of a doctor, so the safety of the patient must be taken into consideration. Only in this way can patients effectively prevent the formation of lower limb venous thrombosis.

4. This can promote the return of blood in the veins of the lower limbs and effectively prevent the occurrence of venous thrombosis in the lower limbs. The patient's lower limbs must be properly massaged, and an air intermittent pneumatic pressurizer can be used for massage, which can make the patient's lower limb venous blood return smoother.

First aid for cerebral thrombosis

The first aid method for cerebral thrombosis generally refers to the acute stage of cerebral thrombosis suffered by the patient. If the patient arrives at the hospital within 5 hours and is evaluated by a neurologist and has no contraindications to thrombolysis, it is recommended that the patient choose alteplase thrombolytic therapy.

Maintain a proper body position and make the patient absolutely bedridden. The head of the patient with cerebral hemorrhage should be slightly elevated. The patient with ischemic cerebrovascular disease should be immediately laid flat with the head slightly tilted back to ensure cerebral blood perfusion and control blood pressure. If there is a spare sphygmomanometer at home, measure it immediately and use existing antihypertensive drugs appropriately to keep the blood pressure at around 20 to 21 or 12 to 14 kilopascals. It should not be dropped too low.

Sudden cerebral thrombosis usually causes facial paralysis, aphasia, paralysis of one side of the limbs, and in severe cases, coma, shock, and even central respiratory depression, which is life-threatening.
