How is leg embolism to return a responsibility

summary

One of my supervisors is just 45 years old this year. He is a typical workaholic, so he often works overtime in the office, let alone holding meetings. It's too common to sit all day. So I often hear that his legs are swollen and his feet are numb because of sitting for a long time. Every time, he will rub them casually, but later, his left leg is swollen, and even he has chest tightness, shortness of breath and severe cough. Finally, he was diagnosed as having arterial embolism in the leg by the hospital.

How is leg embolism to return a responsibility

First, leg artery embolism often causes pain, which is the most common and earliest symptom. However, some patients may have soreness and dull pain in the affected part, while only a few patients have no obvious pain symptoms, but loss of sensation and numbness. The most typical symptom is severe pain in the distal part of the affected part, In the later stage, there will be sensory abnormalities and dyskinesia, which is caused by ischemia of the peripheral nerve at the embolism site.

Second: the following treatment methods are generally used. First, non-surgical treatment is recommended. The main purpose of this is to reduce blood lipids and blood pressure, so as to help relieve the hypercoagulable state of blood. If the effect is good, it will help the formation of collateral circulation. If it is serious, surgery is needed, that is, endarterectomy: artificial blood vessels do not need to be implanted, which may prevent the risk of infection.

Third: Generally speaking, there will be a series of peripheral nerve lesions after arterial embolization. If the treatment is delayed, large area of tissue necrosis will appear in the affected limb. If the development of embolization is allowed, the blood vessels will be blocked, and even cerebral embolism will be caused. Therefore, the operation should be considered.

matters needing attention

If the lower extremity arterial embolism is acute, it can even cause the risk of amputation, which is a great risk for elderly patients. Although the medical treatment is very good now, it is not as fast as you think for disease control, especially surgery, so don't be careless.
