  10. AgustusGloob Giant Pipe This is analogous to a Pulmonary Embolism PE

  11. Clot from body Giant Pipe This is analogous to a Pulmonary Embolism PE

  12. Clot from body Pulmonary Artery This is analogous to a Pulmonary Embolism PE

  13. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs Pulmonary Embolism

  14. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs Pulmonary Embolism

  15. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs • Blood Clot Pulmonary Embolism

  16. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs • Blood Clot • Broken off part of a tumor Pulmonary Embolism

  17. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs • Blood Clot • Broken off part of a tumor • Marrow fat from a broken bone Pulmonary Embolism

  18. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs • Blood Clot • Broken off part of a tumor • Marrow fat from a broken bone • Air Pulmonary Embolism

  19. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs • Blood Clot • Broken off part of a tumor • Marrow fat from a broken bone • Air • Broken off arterial plaque Pulmonary Embolism

  20. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs Pulmonary Embolism

  21. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs Pulmonary Embolism

  22. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs Blood flow may be completely blocked causing sudden death. Pulmonary Embolism

  23. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs Blood flow may or partially blocked causing lung damage. Pulmonary Embolism

  24. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs Frequently these originate from a DVT Pulmonary Embolism

  25. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs Frequently these originate from a DVT Deep Vein Thrombosis Pulmonary Embolism

  26. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs Frequently these originate from a DVT Deep Vein Thrombosis So frequently in fact Pulmonary Embolism

  27. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs Frequently these originate from a DVT Deep Vein Thrombosis So frequently in fact, they’re commonly both referred to together Pulmonary Embolism

  28. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs Frequently these originate from a DVT Deep Vein Thrombosis So frequently in fact, they’re commonly both referred to together… as a VTE Pulmonary Embolism

  29. Simply put, it is a clot that lodged in the arteries of the lungs Frequently these originate from a DVT Deep Vein Thrombosis So frequently in fact, they’re commonly both referred to together… as a VTE Venous Thromboembolism Pulmonary Embolism

  30. Do you have killer legs? Venous Thromboembolism

  31. Do you have killer legs? This was the message in a public awareness campaignin the USA to inform about VTE risk factors Venous Thromboembolism

  32. Do you have killer legs? This was the message in a public awareness campaign in the USA to inform aboutVTE risk factors Venous Thromboembolism

  33. Do you have killer legs? This was the message in a public awareness campaign in the USA to inform about VTE risk factors Venous Thromboembolism

  34. Do you have killer legs? This was the message in a public awareness campaign in the USA to inform about VTE risk factors Do you always cross your legs at the knee? Venous Thromboembolism

  35. Do you have killer legs? This was the message in a public awareness campaign in the USA to inform about VTE risk factors Do you always cross your legs at the knee? This impedes blood flow Venous Thromboembolism

  36. Do you have killer legs? This was the message in a public awareness campaign in the USA to inform about VTE risk factors Do you always cross your legs at the knee? This impedes blood flow and Venous Thromboembolism

  37. Do you have killer legs? Remaining sedentary for extended periods of time can help a clot form… Venous Thromboembolism

  38. Do you have killer legs? Remaining sedentary for extended periods of time can help a clot form… Venous Thromboembolism Ever heard of travelers thromboembolism?

  39. Do you have killer legs? Remaining sedentary for extended periods of time can help a clot form… It’s a thing Venous Thromboembolism Ever heard of travelers thromboembolism?

  40. Do you have killer legs? Remaining sedentary for extended periods of time can help a clot form… it’s not as bad as not getting out of bed at all Venous Thromboembolism

  41. Do you have killer legs? Remaining sedentary for extended periods of time can help a clot form… it’s not as bad as not getting out of bed at all This is why we, as nurses, encourage early ambulation Venous Thromboembolism

  42. Do you have killer legs? Pregnant bellies press on veins in the pelvis slowing blood return from the legs Venous Thromboembolism

  43. Do you have killer legs? Pregnant bellies press on veins in the pelvis slowing blood return from the legs …anything slowing down blood, is the perfect Venous Thromboembolism

  44. Do you have killer legs? Pregnant bellies press on veins in the pelvis slowing blood return from the legs …anything slowing down blood, is the perfect environment for Venous Thromboembolism

  45. Do you have killer legs? Pregnant bellies press on veins in the pelvis slowing blood return from the legs …anything slowing down blood, is the perfect environment for clot formation Venous Thromboembolism

  46. Do you have killer legs? Pregnant bellies press on veins in the pelvis slowing blood return from the legs …anything slowing down blood, is the perfect environment for clot formation…as is Venous Thromboembolism
