Most often they are caused by blood clots from the veins, especially veins in the legs or in the pelvis (hips). More rarely, air bubbles, fat droplets, amniotic fluid, or clumps of parasites or tumor cells may obstruct the pulmonary vessels.
The most common cause of a pulmonary embolism is a blood clot in the veins of the legs, called a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Many vlear up on their own, though some may cause severe illness or even death.
Risk factors include the following:
Prolonged bed rest or inactivity (including long trips in planes, cars, or trains),

MedscapeNursing, Off-shift Nursing, OCTOBER 23, 2008:"The other day I had a conversation with a nursing supervisor about the night shift, working from 7 pm to 7 am. Our conversation became somewhat argumentative in the sense that we were both questioning if the quality of care delivered by nurses during the night shift drops significantly. It made me wonder ….
I have worked the night shift my entire nursing career. I could never return to the day shift. However, there are some issues that do occur during this shift. More often than not, I see my colleagues come in, plunk themselves down in their chairs by the nursing station and immediately focus on who is taking a break , "when, where, and how long." At other times electronic documentation begins before even evaluating the patient. How can you assess a patient without ever seeing them? Aren't you falsifying records or are you simply copying the previous shift's entries? This worries me…"
