I passed the Nclex 06/22/2024. I love listening to 2 albums MedSurg and Pharmacology everyday. They are clear and helpful! Thanks Nurse Kristine and "NurseTheMarking" team so much
Thanks for your question! For a patient with a DVT, it is best to keep them inactive until the HCP provides orders that it is safe to ambulate the patient. I hope this answers your question.
After the DVT is treated a follow up Endovenous Duplex Ultrasound Vein Mapping Scan should be offered to rule out any vein damage. This happened to me after I developed a DVT aged only 36 through the contraceptive pill. I later had to pay for a vein scan which diagnosed Thrombotic Syndrome which I had treated at a specialist vein clinic in London. Best money I ever spent and have looked back since 2018.
I purchased your nursing school bundle at the beginning of nursing school and I'm now 3 months away from graduating. I'm so glad that I found your videos! They're very helpful
I love it's so simple and straight to the point!! I just subscribed and bought the nursing school bundle, I can't wait for it to arrive. I hope to understand better and clarify my doubts since my nursing course is accelerated and I think that I hardly learned much, I finally finished in December YAY!!!, then I would have to study and prepared for the NCLEX, I hope to get out well. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you very much Kristine!❤️🙏🏻
Hi there! Great question. Lovenox is a low molecular-weight heparin medication. It is used prophylactically postoperatively to prevent blood clots. I hope this helps clear that information up. Best of luck!
Thanks for following along and for your feedback! Anticoagulants are used routinely for prevention and treatment of DVTs. One or a combination of multiple anticoagulants can be used. Sometimes these include Vitamin K antagonists (i.e. warfarin), Indirect Thrombin Inhibitors (i.e. enoxaparin), Unfractionated Heparin (i.e. heparin sodium), Factor Xa Inhibitors (i.e. rivaroxaban), Direct Thrombin Inhibitors (i.e. desirudin), or Synthetic Thrombin Inhibitors (i.e. dabigatran). Treatment will vary depending on the patient's condition, pre-existing conditions, current medications, etc. I hope this helps clear up any confusion. 🙂
The purpose of elevating the affected extremity is to decrease swelling, pain, and pressure and also to decrease blood flow to the area. By following the other treatment regimens (decreased activity and use of anticoagulants) and elevating the affected extremity, the risk of the clot becoming mobile decreases, which ultimately decreases the risk for a PE as well. I hope this helps clear that information up for you!
I love your videos and the complete nursing bundle. It’s very concise and comprehensive
Thank you!! ☺️

Question. Why they prescribe Lovenox post surgery and not heparin? I always get so confuse with that

Anticoagulants does not dissolve clots, they prevent future clots - you need to use fibrinolysis (tPA) or trombolysis. To dissolve present clots

I am confused if we elevate leg for treatment clot can move to lungs isn’t that ?
