Patients Deep Vein Thrombosis During Hospitalization

Deep vein thrombosis can happen when there is a formation in the leg or thigh of blood clots. The blood clot may move to the brain, lungs, or heart.

Personal injury deep vein thrombosis attorneys represent many clients who developed these blood clots in a hospital or under the care of a physician, and sustained these severe medical complications.

It is crucial for all hospitals and physicians to recognize when a patient is determined high risk for a blood clot, and to make suitable efforts to monitor the patients for blood clots indications.

Catastrophic consequences can arise during the failure to treat patients promptly for deep vein thrombosis.

Deep vein thrombosis happens during the development of a blood clot in larger veins, normally located in the thigh or lower leg, and by chance, may be linked to symptoms.

Individuals who risk the most in the development of blood clots are those who have recently undergone surgery, suffered severe burns, or suffered physical trauma.

The similarity among all these cases is the healing of the body, a clotting of blood being an integral and natural aspect of the healing.

When blood clots are formed in the bloodstream, as opposed to the location of a sustained injury, however, they can be deleterious.

The symptoms of deep vein thrombosis entail discomfort and pain in one leg, a hot or warm feeling in the leg, a tender feeling to the touch, swelling, and changes that are visible in the skin tone.

Blood clotting in the leg usually can be dislodged, temporarily solving the issue, but still a risk of pulmonary embolism, stroke, or a heart attack if the blood clot doesn’t mitigate before reaching the brain, heart, or lungs.

Failure to diagnose and treat deep vein thrombosis, therefore, can have deleterious consequences.

Among the most typical ways to treat a blood clot is to administer medications for blood thinning, which can break up clots that are existing, and prevent any more to form.

As a preventative measure, certain medications can be used, if a patient is at risk for blood clot development, but they don’t come without their own risks.


Individuals on blood thinners should be administered regular monitoring for blood to make certain that they are not risking uncontrolled or excessive bleeding.

The use of pressure stockings or socks can be another way to prevent blood clots.

The flow of blood will be increased, and the risk of deep vein thrombosis can decrease by not enabling blood to build up in the leg veins.

Options for surgery also available to treat and prevent deep vein thrombosis.
