Blood Clots After Surgery: The Silent Hospital Risk That Can Go Overlooked

Blood clots are a hidden but serious risk during hospitalization, especially after surgery or periods of immobility. In this episode, we explain how deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) develop, and why hospital patients are at increased risk. You’ll learn prevention strategies such as mobility, compression devices, and early warning signs to watch for. We also discuss important questions to ask your care team to ensure proper clot prevention is in place.
