Symptoms of DVT normally affect the legs of a person and it involves a blood clotting in a deep vein in essence.
Swelling and/or pain to the affected area may arise.
Tests can be undertaken to diagnose this issue which may include an ultrasound focusing on the suspected veins.
A patient will need to be risk assessed upon developing this condition. Prophylactic measures can be applied. Prophylactic is of Greek origin which means advance gard. Pharmacological interventions can also be administered to assist the medical issue.
A serious complication of DVT which can occur is pulmonary embolism.
This blood clot lodges in a pulmonary artery. The net affect is blood flow to a section of the lung can be blocked.
The law in Ireland is medical care providers owe patients a duty of care to a level that would reasonably be expected of such doctor / medical care provider in the circumstances.
If there is a breach in the duty provided, it is necessary in a medical negligence case for it to be proved the breach in question directly caused the persons injury.
