jaffa1949 wrote:Deep Vein Thrombosis (blood kink ) is something different it occurs in the venous system of the leg because of long periods sitting or being immobile a clot forms in the slower moving areas where blood is pooling in the legs, a bit like a dam, subsequent movement causes the clot or parts of it to break away and if the clot lodges in the lungs or other vulnerable areas it is life threatening. At its least it causes deep tissue and vascular damage in the leg at its worst death!
On planes and in long sitting situations movement and compression stockings are helpful.
After surgery now one of the rehabilative protocols is to get the patient walking with aids ASAP.
