Deep Vein Thrombosis & Pulmonary Embolism

Venous Thromboembolism refers to the presence of blood clots in veins, in particular deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. We cover both, including Virchow's Triad and the pathophysiology of pulmonary embolism. Also included are the signs and symptoms of pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of both. PDFs available here: https://rhesusmedicine.com/pages/respiratoryConsider subscribing (if you found any of the info useful!): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRks8wB6vgz0E7buP0L_5RQ?sub_confirmation=1Buy Us A Coffee!: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/rhesusmedicineTimestamps:0:00 What is Venous Thromboembolism?0:32 Normal Cardiac and Pulmonary Circulation 0:59 Deep Vein Thrombosis Pathophysiology (& Most Common Veins)1:24 Pulmonary Embolism Pathophysiology 3:52 Venous Thromboembolism Pathophysiology (Virchow's Triad)5:32 Signs and Symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis5:49 Signs and Symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism6:25 Venous Thromboembolism Diagnosis8:18 Pulmonary Embolism ECG Findings8:53 Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis / Pulmonary EmbolismLINK TO SOCIAL MEDIA: https://www.instagram.com/rhesusmedicine/ReferencesStone, J., Hangge, P., Albadawi, H., Wallace, A., Shamoun, F., Grace Knuttien, M., Naidu, S. & Oklu, R., 2017.
