Understanding the Cause: Pulmonary Embolism
A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a sudden, life-threatening blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in the lungs. In most surgical cases, this occurs when a blood clot often starting in the deep veins of the legs (known as Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT) breaks loose and travels through the bloodstream to the lungs. For patients recovering from plastic surgery, the risk of PE is elevated due to several factors:
- Prolonged Immobility: Staying in one position during long surgeries or during bed rest in recovery can cause blood to pool in the legs, leading to clots.
- Surgical Trauma: The body's natural response to tissue trauma during surgery is to increase blood clotting to prevent bleeding.
- Dehydration or Medication: Certain anaesthesia or post-op medications can also alter blood flow.
