A blood clot is called a "thrombus," while several blood clots are called "thrombi". Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the occurrence of one or more blood clots in one of the body's principal veins, mostly in the lower limbs (such as, the lower leg or calf).

The clots may completely or partially restrict blood flow in the vein, which may cause some patients to experience pain, swelling, discomfort, discolouration, or redness in the affected area and possibly warm-to-the-touch skin. It can be dangerous if the clot breaks off and travels to the lungs, where it can cause a pulmonary embolism (PE).

Incidence of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)
The lower limb is often impacted by deep vein thrombosis (DVT), with clot development occurring in a deep calf vein and spreading proximally. It is a common venous thromboembolic disorder (VTE) with an annual incidence of over 1.6 per 1000 people.

Distal veins are responsible for 40% of site involvement, followed by popliteal 16%, femoral 20%, common femoral 20%, and iliac veins 4%. Less than 10% of DVTs occur in the upper limbs, and central vein catheters are the primary risk factor.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the mpox outbreak in parts of Africa a public health emergency of international concern.
The highly contagious disease - formerly known as monkeypox - has killed at least 450 people during an initial outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
It has now spread across parts of central and east Africa, and scientists are concerned about how fast a new variant of the disease is spreading and its high fatality rate.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the potential for further spread within Africa and beyond "is very worrying".

Target HR by age

When you work out, are you doing too much or not enough? There’s a simple way to know: Your target heart rate

A wearable activity tracker makes it super easy to track your heart rate or take your pulse on the inside of your wrist. If your heart rate is too high, you’re straining. If your heart rate is too low, you may want to push yourself a little harder, especially if you’re trying to lose weight.

Universal access to healthcare is a fundamental human right, one that should be protected at all times, even during the devastation of armed conflicts. But in the chaos of war, access to medical care can become dangerously limited, leaving vulnerable populations—especially women and children—without the care they desperately need.

Acute pulmonary embolism is responsible for up to 300,000 deaths annually and with in-hospital mortality rates approaching 30% in the highest risk cases in the U.S.

There is a wealth of data that continues to arise in the field of pulmonary embolism with ongoing trials studying the role of advanced therapies further upstream in the treatment algorithm for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism.

Bomba de Circulación Extracorpórea 🫀
📌La bomba de circulación extracorpórea permite al cirujano detener el corazón cuidadosamente sin interrumpir la circulación sanguínea. Esta máquina consta de una bomba, que cumple la función del corazón, y un oxigenador, que cumple la función de los pulmones.
📚En la revascularización (bypass) con circulación extracorpórea, la sangre deficiente en oxígeno es desviada de las cámaras superiores del corazón, para ser conducida a una cámara en la bomba de circulación extracorpórea.
📚Luego la sangre se transfiere a un oxigenador, donde es oxigenada. La bomba conduce la sangre nuevamente al sistema arterial del paciente, y el cuerpo continúa la circulación sanguínea por su cuenta.
📚Después de repararlo, el corazón se reinicia y se retira la bomba de circulación extracorpórea.

¿Qué es el ECMO ?
📌ECMO son las siglas en inglés de “Oxigenación por Membrana Extracorporea”.
ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation )

🔹️El ECMO es un sistema derivado de y parecido a la Circulación Extracorporea ( CEC) que sirve para dar soporte vital de órgano al pulmón y /o al ❤️ cuando estos fallan.

🔹️El ECMO, no es un tratamiento, no cura
Es una terapia de SOPORTE VITAL de ORGANO.

🔹️Para poner un ejemplo, así como la DIALISIS, suple la función renal cuando el riñón falla , el ECMO, hace las veces de pulmón (configuración V-V) o de ♥️ (configuración V-A).

🔹️El ECMO permite “COMPRAR TIEMPO “ ⏱ ya que sostiene al paciente con buenos parámetros respiratorios y hemodinámicas, mientras se repara el órgano dañado o se trasplanta el órgano dañado.

🔹️En la foto se observa con un modelo compacto CARDIOHELP, que es ideal para traslado. El rombo rojo que se ve en la foto, es la membrana de oxígenacion que suplanta el pulmón.
