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).

Most of those that cause serious hemodynamic disturbances form in an iliofemoral vein, either de novo or by propagation from calf vein thrombi. Thromboemboli originate infrequently in the arm veins or in the right cardiac chambers. Once released into the venous circulation, thromboemboli are distributed to both lungs in about 65% of cases, to the right lung in 25%, and to the left lung in 10%. Lower lobes are involved four times more often than upper lobes. Most thromboemboli lodge in large or intermediate (elastic or muscular) pulmonary arteries; 35% or fewer reach the smaller arteries."

Purdue Pharma currently has two bronchodilator products: Uniphyl and PhylloContin. Once-daily Uniphyl tablets are a sustained release formulation of theophylline used to treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Theophylline eases the cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and troubled breathing associated with these conditions by relaxing and opening the bronchial tubes allowing increased amounts of air to flow into the lungs. PhylloContin tablets contain aminophylline, which is used to treat symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It relaxes and opens air passages in the lungs, making it easier to breathe."

As PTs, I'd add that it's our responsibility to inform ourselves then to pass on the information to patients. I've come across many women, patients, and co-workers who recognize the dangers of breast cancer and the necessity of research to cure it. Clearly, breast cancer is serious business and the stats are grim. The lifetime prevalence: 1 in 8; number of deaths per year: 40,000. But consider this. Lung cancer claims 70,000 women a year which is more than breast, ovarian and uterine cancers combined. Of those diagnosed with lung cancer, only 1 in 8 survives. The public consciousness seems misinformed on this." http://www.putmebacktogether.com/ Category: http://www.nursefriendly.com/cancer/ or http://www.nursefriendly.com/oncology/ Cardiac, http://www.nursefriendly.com/cardiac/ Mortality, Morbidity, Comorbidity, Causes of Death, http://www.legalnursingconsultant.com/mortality Physical Therapy, http://www.legalnursingconsultant.com/pt ****************************************************** Welcome to NursingA2Z.com.
