PreventionPrevention of PE is a lot easier than diagnosis or treatment. Therefore, when hospitalized, it is important to ask your health care providers what measures are being taken to prevent PE.[vascularcures.org]
PreventionPrevention begins with finding possible sources of a blood clot. Your provider may prescribe blood thinners (such as warfarin or heparin) to prevent clots from forming. Antiplatelet drugs may also be needed.[m.ufhealth.org]
The cause of the clot, if found, should be treated to prevent further problems.[medlineplus.gov]
Prevention Embolism can be prevented in high risk patients through antithrombotic drugs such as heparin, venous interruption, gradient elastic stockings, and intermittent pneumatic compression of the legs.[encyclopedia.com]
