Diet precautions of pulmonary embolism

summary

Pulmonary embolism, also known as pulmonary thromboembolism, is a clinical and pathophysiological syndrome caused by endogenous or exogenous emboli blocking the trunk or branch of pulmonary artery, resulting in pulmonary circulation disorders.

Diet precautions of pulmonary embolism

Eat a light, easy to digest, vitamin rich, high cellulose, low-fat diet, and eat less raw, hard, chicken bone, fish bone and other food to prevent damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing gastrointestinal bleeding;

Ensure the nutrition during the recovery period, such as milk, eggs, lean meat and other foods, avoid eating foods rich in vitamin K, such as spinach, cabbage, liver and other foods,

Especially during warfarin treatment, the increase of vitamin K intake can reduce the effect of warfarin, which is caused by inhibiting the synthesis of K-dependent agglutinating factor.

matters needing attention

It is suggested that you should regularly go to the hospital to review the anticoagulant indicators, observe the bleeding phenomenon and pay attention to the early bleeding symptoms, pay attention to diet, and do not take drugs that affect the blood flow, such as non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, hormones, cardiotonics, etc.; pay attention to the activities of lower limbs in daily life, and wear elastic socks for those with varicose veins, so as to avoid deep venous blood retention and recurrence of thrombosis.
