Transcripción:

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Deep Vein Thrombosis, also called DVT, is a blood clot that forms inside a vein in the body. It most often occurs in the legs. The blood clot may block part or all of the blood flow. It may also break loose and cause a serious problem in the lung or a heart attack or stroke. Learn how to prevent DVT and know its signs. Risk Factors You are at greater risk for DVT if you: Have heart disease Are pregnant Are overweight Have anemia Have liver disease Are inactive or have long periods in bed Have trauma injuries or fractures Have had a stroke or injury that limits the movement of your legs Take certain medicines or treatments Signs of DVT Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you have shortness of breath or chest pain. 1

Trombosis venosa profunda (TVP) La trombosis venosa profunda, también llamada TVP, es un coágulo de sangre que se forma dentro de una vena en el cuerpo. En la mayoría de los casos, ocurre en las piernas. El coagulo de sangre puede bloquear parte o todo el flujo sanguíneo. También puede desprenderse y provocar problemas graves en los pulmones, un ataque cardiaco o un derrame cerebral. Aprenda a prevenir la trombosis venosa profunda y a reconocer sus signos. Factores de riesgo Usted tiene un mayor riesgo de padecer una trombosis venosa profunda si: padece alguna enfermedad del corazón; está embarazada; tiene sobrepeso; tiene anemia; padece alguna enfermedad del hígado; está inactivo o pasa periodos prolongados de reposo en cama; tiene alguna lesión traumática o fracturas; ha sufrido un derrame cerebral o lesión que limita el movimiento de sus piernas; toma ciertos medicamentos o se somete a ciertos tratamientos. Signos de la TVP Llame al 911 o vaya al departamento de urgencias más cercano si tiene dificultades para respirar o dolores en el pecho. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). Spanish. 1

Call your doctor right away or go to the nearest emergency department if you have any of these signs: Tender, swollen or red areas that may be warm to the touch over the vein. Do not massage or exercise a painful leg or arm. Numbness or tingling in the body part aected Aching or pain in the body part aected Fever or chills How to Prevent DVT Your doctor may have you wear support stockings. The stockings help your blood flow to prevent clot formation. Remove the stockings each day for 10 to 30 minutes. Check your feet and legs for redness, bruising or sore areas. Ask your nurse or therapist how to put on the stockings to avoid very tight or wrinkled areas. Lotion may be used if your legs are dry. Allow the lotion to dry and then powder your legs lightly to make it easier to put on the stockings. You should have 2 pairs of stockings so that you have a pair to wear while the other pair is being washed and dried. Wash the stockings each day with mild soap, rinse and air dry. Walk every day and do leg and arm exercises to help your blood flow. Ask your doctor or therapist what type of exercise is best for you. Avoid sitting or lying in one position for long periods of time. Do not sit with your legs crossed or with constant pressure on the back of the knees. If your legs tend to swell, raise them on a stool when sitting. 2

Llame al médico de inmediato o vaya al departamento de urgencias más cercano si tiene cualquiera de estos signos: áreas sensibles, hinchadas o rojas que pueden sentirse calientes sobre una vena. No masajee ni haga ejercicio con la pierna o el brazo que le duele; entumecimiento u hormigueo en la parte del cuerpo afectada; molestia o dolor en la parte del cuerpo afectada; fiebre o escalofríos. Cómo prevenir la trombosis venosa profunda Su médico puede pedirle que use medias elásticas. Las medias ayudan a que la sangre fluya para evitar la formación de coágulos. Quítese las medias todos los días durante 10 a 30 minutos. Revise sus pies y piernas para detectar enrojecimiento, moretones o áreas adoloridas. Pregunte a su enfermera(o) o terapeuta cómo ponerse las medias para evitar que algunas partes le queden muy apretadas o con arrugas. Puede ponerse crema si la piel de sus piernas está reseca. Deje que la crema se seque y luego póngase un poco de talco para que sea más fácil ponerse las medias. Debe tener 2 pares de medias para que se ponga unas mientras las otras se lavan y secan. Lave las medias todos los días con un jabón suave, enjuáguelas y deje que se sequen al aire Camine diariamente y haga ejercicios para los brazos y piernas para ayudar a la circulación sanguínea. Pregúntele a su médico o terapeuta qué tipo de ejercicio es el mejor para usted. Evite sentarse o acostarse en una sola posición por períodos prolongados. No se siente con las piernas cruzadas o con presión constante en la parte de atrás de las rodillas. Si sus piernas tienden a hincharse, súbalas a un banquillo cuando esté sentado.
