Lisa Hill is hospitalized with deep vein
Lisa Hill is hospitalized with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in her left leg as a complication of abdominal surgery. She is being treated with bedrest and anticoagulant therapy. On the third postoperative day, she suddenly experiences severe dyspnea and is placed on supplemental oxygen. A blood gas is drawn, which demonstrates hypoxemia and mild respiratory alkalosis. What line of reasoning would lead you to agree to disagree with this post? How does your post relate to your own as a nursing student? 1. What is the most likely cause of her respiratory distress? Why? Her respiratory distress could be cause by any of the followings: 1. Lung volumes changed after abdominal surgery. 2. Blood loss. 3. Blood clot from the leg travel to the lung. 4. Severe peritonitis inflammation. 5. inadequate anesthesia and analgesia. 6. Complication of respiratory muscle dysfunction after abdominal surgery. 7. postoperative bleeding. 8. hypoxemia. I will think her respiratory distress is most likely caused by blood clot from the leg travel to the lung. Because she has blood clots in her left leg and is experiencing breathing difficulties. As studies have reported, more than 90% of acute pulmonary emboli arise from the proximal veins. Hattab, Y., Küng, S., Fasanya, A., Ma, K., Singh, A. C., & DuMont, T. (2017). 2. What diagnostic findings would help confirm this diagnosis? A blood gas is drawn, which confirm hypoxemia and mild respiratory alkalosis. Her symptoms of hypoxemia including: 1. severe dyspnea. 2. respiratory alkalosis 3. edema on the left leg.
