A pulmonary embolism is a condition in which vessels in the lungs are blocked by a thrombus or other material that has traveled from somewhere else in the body. This is usually a result of a venous thromboembolism, but can also be due to amniotic fluid, air or fat embolus, or tumor material in patients with cancer. A key thing to understand about pulmonary embolism is that the airway is not occluded. In pulmonary embolism, one or more blood vessels are occluded. What this means is that blood coming from the right side of the heart isn’t able to pass freely through the pulmonary vasculature to participate in gas exchange, which negatively affects perfusion. In this episode you’ll learn: Pulmonary embolism pathophysiology Which of your patients are at highest risk for having a PE Common signs and symptoms of PE Priority nursing assessments Tests utilized to evaluate or diagnose PE Treatments for PE, including pharmacological and surgical And more!

Hello! Thanks for the podcast for nurses. It will make learning a lot easier, and it's also fun to look at. I found another professional site that provides services https://www.nursingpaper.com/ in helping students. Thanks to help writing nursing essay you can improve your skills and knowledge. Nurse Mo takes complex nursing school concepts and breaks them down to make them easier to understand. If you, like me, are trying to navigate the rigors of nursing school, this podcast can be a valuable resource.
