How to carry out daily health care for patients with venous thrombosis of the lower extremities

My husband got this disease when he was 34 years old. It's because they don't like to move, lazy people love this disease. I love to play games, and that's it. So I concluded that it was the game that caused this disease of sedentary life.

What are the symptoms of venous thrombosis of the lower extremities?

1. Swelling of the affected limb.

This is the most common symptom after venous thrombosis of the lower extremities, with high tissue tone and nonpitting edema in the affected limb. The skin color is red, and the skin temperature is higher than that of the healthy side. When the swelling is severe, blisters may appear. Depending on the location of the blood clot, the location of the swelling also varies.

2. Pain and tenderness.

There are two main causes of pain: Blood clots cause an inflammatory response in the veins, causing persistent pain in the affected limb. The thrombus blocks the vein, blocking the venous return of the lower extremity, and the limb is swollen and painful, which is worse when standing upright.

Tenderness is mainly localized to the site of the venous thrombosis' inflammatory response, such as the femoral vein or calf.

3. Superficial varicose veins.

Superficial varicose veins are a compensatory reaction, in which venous blood in the lower extremities refluxes through the superficial veins and the superficial veins dilate compensatorily when the main veins are blocked. Therefore, superficial varicose veins are generally not obvious in the acute phase and are a manifestation of sequelae of venous thrombosis of the lower extremities.

One month after venous thrombosis, the thrombus has been organized, and the adhesion to the blood vessel wall is tighter, due to the blockage of the thrombosis, resulting in poor local blood circulation of the limbs, and the blood return of the limbs is not smooth, it will form swelling, tenderness, dark redness, and symptoms of superficial varicose veins, and in severe cases, there will be stasis dermatitis and ulcers. Requires active regulation. Old thrombosis can be **, mainly to unclog blood vessels and improve blood circulation in the limbs.

As we all know, "cerebral thrombosis" is a health killer, in fact, the real easiest place for the human body to "hide" blood is in the lower limbs, and the lower limbs are also the parts that are most likely to cause venous thrombosis. The formation of venous thrombosis in the lower extremities will not only cause swelling and pain in the legs, but also cause the blood clot to fall off, leading to pulmonary embolism or death, so it is very important to prevent venous thrombosis in the lower extremities.

Experts say that thrombosis is a state of blood aggregation in blood vessels, which will cause blockage of blood vessels, among which venous thrombosis of the lower limbs is the most common. Once the venous thrombosis of the lower limbs falls off to the pulmonary artery, it may cause pulmonary embolism, mild patients will have symptoms such as cough, chest tightness, breathlessness, etc., and severe patients may cause sudden death, so how to prevent venous thrombosis of the lower limbs?

1. Sitting for a long time is one of the causes of venous thrombosis of the lower limbs, long-term lack of exercise, long-term sitting makes the blood circulation poor, and in the long run, it will cause the formation of venous thrombosis of the lower limbs. If you want to prevent the formation of venous thrombosis of the lower limbs, you must exercise more, contract the muscles of the lower limbs, squeeze the veins of the lower limbs, increase the blood flow of the lower limbs, and better prevent the formation of venous thrombosis of the lower limbs.

2. Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia are also the causes of venous thrombosis of the lower limbs, especially for patients with hyperlipidemia, when the blood is viscous, it is easy to lead to thrombosis blockage, thereby causing venous thrombosis of the lower limbs. Patients can reduce blood viscosity, reduce blood sugar, reduce blood lipids, and prevent venous thrombosis of the lower limbs through drugs, exercise, and dietary control.

3. Try to wear loose and comfortable clothes as much as possible in terms of dressing, and do not wear tight clothes, which will lead to poor blood flow and increase the risk of venous thrombosis in the lower limbs. In addition, drinking more water and maintaining sufficient water can effectively reduce the risk of blood clots in the lower limbs, especially in a dry environment.

Fourth, in the case of a certain disease, when you need to stay in bed for a long time, it is also easy to have venous thrombosis of the lower limbs, you must give the patient more turnover, massage, promote blood circulation, in addition, you must take anticoagulant drugs under the guidance of a doctor to prevent the formation of venous thrombosis of the lower limbs.

Venous thrombosis of the lower limbs is a common disease, which is related to many factors, among which sitting and standing for a long time is the most common precipitating factor, so it is necessary to exercise more to promote blood circulation. In terms of diet, it is necessary to be light and eat less high-fat and high-fat foods, so as not to increase blood viscosity and induce venous thrombosis in the lower limbs.

The prevention of venous thrombosis of the lower extremities mainly includes lifestyle conditioning, active primary disease, physical and drug prevention. Wear venous compression stockings for the lower extremities.

Measures to prevent venous thrombosis of the lower limbs: 1. Quit smoking: Nicotine in smoking can constrict peripheral blood vessels, reduce blood flow, and cause cholesterol deposition due to changes in the intima of blood vessels.

In our lives, we sit for a long time, and standing for a long time is not good for our body. Therefore, we also need to move our lower limbs, exercise and run regularly.

Measures to prevent venous thrombosis of the lower extremities:

1. Quit smoking: Nicotine in smoking can constrict peripheral blood vessels, reduce blood flow, and cause cholesterol deposition due to changes in the intima of blood vessels, so patients who smoke need to quit smoking.

2. Deep breathing: After returning to the ward after surgery, perform deep breathing activities after waking up under general anesthesia, 10-12 times per hour, increase diaphragm movement and promote blood return.

3. Passive activity: For patients who are comatose or unconscious, passive movement of the lower limbs is given by others, and the direction is from bottom to top, which can accelerate the venous blood return of the lower limbs.

4. Active activities: After waking up under general anesthesia, immediately and regularly do thrombosis exercises for the lower limbs, at least 3 times for hours, in order to achieve the purpose of preventing thrombosis.

5. Get off the ground early: When your condition allows, you should get out of bed as soon as possible.

6. Adjust diet: Choose fresh vegetables, fruits and other foods rich in vitamin C in the diet, drink more water, avoid spicy and greasy food, keep the stool smooth, and avoid the increase in abdominal pressure caused by straining to defecate and affect the blood return of the lower limbs.

7. Comfortable mood: keep a happy mood, poor mood after surgery can cause sympathetic nervous system, vagus nerve dysfunction, and vasomotor dysfunction.

Prevention of venous thrombosis: Wearing compression stockings promotes blood circulation. After major surgery, move the lower limbs as soon as possible under the guidance of the **** master, or take anticoagulant drugs to prevent blood clots.

Pay attention to exercise, don't be sedentary for a long time, pay attention to moving your lower limbs on long-distance travel, and drink plenty of water to prevent venous thrombosis.

Quit smoking, because smoking can change the viscosity of the blood, and the blood becomes viscous and easy to stagnate. Oral contraceptives have a similar effect and should be taken sparingly.

In life, some people will have venous thrombosis, which will lead to vein blockage and narrowing in the long run, and local blood circulation will be obstructed, resulting in other serious diseases.

Current methods for preventing venous thrombosis of the lower extremities include mechanical prophylaxis and pharmacological prophylaxis. Mechanical prevention includes massage of the lower limbs, elastic stockings, intermittent pressure chestnuts, etc., mainly to prevent venous thrombosis of the lower limbs by promoting blood circulation in the lower limbs; Pharmacoprophylaxis refers to the prevention of venous thrombosis of the lower extremities by applying some anticoagulant drugs, such as low-molecular-weight heparin injections.

For patients who have been bedridden for a long time, it is very important to increase the patient's activity. Before the patient is unable to get out of bed and move, the patient's family should give the patient a daily massage of the lower limbs, focusing on the muscle tissue of the lower limbs. When massage, it should be carried out from the bottom up, and each time the massage is repeated, it should start from the distal calf, which can accelerate the return of venous blood in the lower limbs, accelerate the blood flow, and prevent deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs.

Patients who are able to move on their own but cannot get out of bed should try to move their lower limbs on their own, especially the knee and ankle joints.

Thrombosis is a multifactorial process in which a set of genetic and environmental factors interact and influence each other. The most common clinical characteristics of patients with thrombosis are familial hereditary, reversible, symptomatic severity, abnormal thrombosis site, and younger onset.

The three major factors of deep vein thrombosis: slow venous blood flow, venous wall damage and blood hypercoagulability, are still recognized by scholars from all over the world. However, any single factor of the above three factors is often not enough to cause the disease, and it is often a combination of two or three factors that causes deep vein thrombosis.

Slow blood flow is the primary factor.

For example, blood vessels are like sewers, if the walls of the pipes are smooth, the water flowing down is fast, and there is very little garbage in the water, then the pipes are not easy to clog. On the contrary, the pipe wall is full of potholes, the water flow speed is very slow, and there are garbage such as rice grains and vegetable leaves in the water, and the sewer is easy to block. In the same way, if the lining of the blood vessels is very rough, the blood flow is very slow, and there is a lot of "garbage" in the blood, the blood vessels are easy to be blocked, and blood clots in the blood vessels are formed.

How to prevent venous thrombosis in the lower extremities.

Eat more high-quality protein, such as milk, chickens and ducks (preferably wild chai chicken), fish, eggs (egg yolks should be eaten less), soy products, and eat less pig, beef, mutton, and lean meat is better.

Eat more vitamin-rich foods, such as fresh fruits, tomatoes, hawthorns, etc., which are rich in vitamin C; Eat more fiber-rich foods, such as celery, whole grains, etc., to increase gastrointestinal peristalsis and avoid dry stools.

Eat more soy products, dairy and eggs rich in vitamin B6; Leafy green vegetables, legumes, etc., which are rich in vitamin E.

It is suitable to drink hot milk or listen lightly** to relax the brain and promote sleep.

1. When the elderly suffer from venous thrombosis of the lower limbs, there will be a series of clinical symptoms such as swelling, pain, and increased temperature of the lower limbs; In addition, some have superficial vein dilation; In addition, it should be noted that if the venous thrombosis of the lower extremities is very severe, bruising and white swelling of the femur can also lead to impaired blood transport in the lower extremities.

2. Once the elderly suffer from venous thrombosis of the lower limbs, we should pay enough attention. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for treatment in time, and actively anticoagulation, thrombolysis, depolymerization, etc. In addition, the affected limb should be elevated.

In addition, it should be made clear that if venous thrombosis of the lower extremities leads to lower extremity vascular disturbances, aggressive surgery** is also required, which is beneficial for symptomatic improvement in older people.

3. Symptoms of venous thrombosis of the lower limbs: superficial vein thrombosis of the lower limbs is mainly manifested as superficial phlebitis of thrombosis, which will cause redness and swelling, increased temperature, increased tension, and palpable clues of hard pain. Deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities is mainly manifested as swelling, redness, tension, and a slight increase in temperature on one side of the leg of the deep vein thrombosis.

Symptoms worsen when the lower limbs move, walk, or run,** and the approach varies. Superficial vein thrombosis of the lower extremities can effectively alleviate the patient's condition by addressing the patient's symptoms with drugs that promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis.

4. Prevention of venous thrombosis of the lower limbs: venous thrombosis of the lower limbs must be preventable, physical and pharmacological. Special populations, such as people who take a boat for a long time and sit in one place, need to sit for several hours and deliberately move the lower limbs, which will promote blood return, and after the blood returns, the blood flow velocity will not form venous thrombosis of the lower limbs.

5. For tumor patients, orthopedic and post-operative patients, prevention of deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities, physical prophylaxis and oral medication are required. For patients after orthopedic major joint surgery, patients with major surgery, and tumor patients, oral medications, oral medications can completely prevent deep vein thrombosis.

The elderly should be more active, eat some foods to prevent blood clots, and massage their bodies appropriately, which can prevent venous thrombosis in the lower limbs. There will be swelling in the lower limbs, some numbness in the lower limbs, pain when the lower limbs are pressed, the lower limbs look red, and there is necrosis in the lower limbs, and these symptoms are likely to be venous thrombosis.

Usually you must exercise properly, and then you should also quit smoking and drinking, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, do not eat greasy food, and develop good living habits and eating habits. For example, if there is a stiffness in the limbs, or there are a series of signs such as numbness in the legs, joint pain and joint swelling, which means that there is a blood clot in the veins of the lower limbs.

Older people should exercise more so that venous thrombosis can be prevented. These symptoms are, blood vessel blockage, bulging veins in the lower limbs, redness and swelling, reduced mobility, and stiff legs.

Slow blood flow in the lower limbs, blood in a hypercoagulable state, and damage to the blood vessel wall are the three causes of venous thrombosis in the lower limbs, and corresponding preventive measures should be taken for **.

1. People who are sedentary for a long time (such as often playing games, taking planes, and taking long-distance trains) have slow blood flow in the lower limbs and are prone to the formation of blood clots. Therefore, it is necessary to move the lower limbs properly, and you can also hook your toes on the seat to promote venous blood circulation. In addition, the elderly who have been bedridden for a long time or those who have undergone surgery have a relatively slow blood flow velocity in the lower limbs, so family members can assist in doing some lower leg activities to help their venous return.

2. The blood of people with hyperlipidemia and hyperhomocysteinemia is in a hypercoagulable state, and it is easy to develop venous thrombosis of the lower limbs. The coagulation mechanism of cancer patients is relatively activated, and the probability of venous thrombosis of the lower extremities is relatively high. After trauma, the clotting mechanism is activated to reduce bleeding.

However, the activation of the coagulation mechanism sometimes causes the blood in the deep veins of the lower extremities to be in a hypercoagulable state. For people with hypercoagulable blood, it is necessary to actively reduce lipids, fibers, and anti-tumors, and deal with them in a timely manner after trauma, which can prevent the occurrence of venous thrombosis of the lower limbs to a certain extent.

3. Infusion will damage the blood vessel wall, and superficial veins are easy to form thrombosis. Sometimes other traumas, such as traffic accidents and strain injuries, do not damage the blood vessel wall, but the lining of the blood vessels can be abruptly damaged, which can also activate the coagulation system and cause the formation of blood clots. Therefore, unnecessary infusions should be minimized daily to avoid the occurrence of trauma.
