Comprender la trombosis venosa profunda
Trombosis venosa profunda (TVP) es el término técnico para un coágulo de sangre atascado en una vena profunda del cuerpo. Puede ser especialmente peligrosa porque, si el coágulo se desplaza a los pulmones, puede provocar una embolia pulmonar potencialmente mortal . Esté atento a las señales de advertencia de la trombosis venosa profunda para prevenir complicaciones graves.
Principales signos de advertencia de la TVP

- Discoloration – Look for discoloration in the skin near the affected area, which may redden or become darker.
