Blood clots Part 2 (Teacher: Michael)
When
Select
the
a
an
patient is put on
Select
the
a
an
anticoagulant, bleeding can give rise to some serious troubles. If
Select
the
a
an
patient has got
Select
the
a
an
brittle arterial system and
Select
the
a
an
artery ruptures in
Select
the
a
an
brain, bleeding will go on for
Select
the
a
an
long time and brain cells will 'drown' in blood.
Occasionally,
Select
the
a
an
patient on anticoagulants will pass blood in
Select
the
a
an
urine. In
Select
the
a
an
kidneys
Select
the
a
an
blood is only held in
Select
the
a
an
arteries by very thin membranes to allow
Select
the
a
an
passage through
Select
the
a
an
latter of unwanted materials. Blood with
Select
the
a
an
very prolonged clotting time can leak through these membranes and into
Select
the
a
an
urine.
All this means that when
Select
the
a
an
patient is given anticoagulants,
Select
the
a
an
careful check has to be kept on
Select
the
a
an
dosage and
Select
the
a
an
effect they have on
Select
the
a
an
clotting time or 'prothrombin' time. It necessitates
Select
the
a
an
blood sample being taken and sent to
Select
the
a
an
"lab" for testing.
