A Porcine Model of Acute Autologous Pulmonary Embolism07:44

A Porcine Model of Acute Autologous Pulmonary Embolism

This study presents a porcine model of pulmonary embolism (PE) using large autologous emboli that replicate acute intermediate-risk PE. The model is well-suited for the evaluation of both pathophysiology and treatment responses.

Types of Risk: Systematic Risk01:35

Types of Risk: Systematic Risk

Systematic risk is inherent to the market and reflects the impact of economic, financial, and geopolitical factors. It affects the entire market rather than specific stocks or industries. This type of risk is unavoidable and cannot be mitigated through diversification.
Market risk refers to the possibility that the overall stock market will decline, impacting the value of all investments. This risk is often driven by macroeconomic factors such as economic recessions, financial crises, or global...

Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction01:29

Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction

Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a thrombus, fat or air embolus, amniotic fluid, or tumor tissue blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. These blockages originate in the venous system or the right side of the heart.EtiologyPE primarily arises from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other hypercoagulable states, such as inherited thrombophilias. Additional etiological factors include venous stasis, commonly seen in obesity, and endothelial injury from surgery and trauma. Less common causes include...

Establishment of a Minimally Invasive Rat Model of Pulmonary Embolism Using Autologous Blood Clots

A detailed methodology for establishing a minimally invasive rat model of pulmonary embolism using autologous blood clots is described. Additional methods for quantifying the infarcted area and visualizing the pulmonary arterial tree are also...

Pulmonary Embolism III: Nursing Management01:27

Pulmonary Embolism III: Nursing Management

A pulmonary embolism occurs when a thrombus, amniotic fluid, tumor tissue, fat, or air embolus blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. Effective nursing management and patient education are crucial for improving outcomes and preventing recurrence.Nursing management starts with obtaining a comprehensive patient history, particularly noting any history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Assess for clinical manifestations, including dyspnea, chest pain, crackles, heart murmurs, and signs of right-sided...
