Today’s video is all about deep vein thrombosis (DVT) for Nursing Students and NCLEX Review.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in a deep vein. If a DVT blocks blood flow to parts of the leg muscle, it can cause leg or arm swelling and pain in the leg, as well as difficulty walking.

A pulmonary embolism (PE) is another type of blood clot, but in one of the deep veins of the lungs. This can be life-threatening because it blocks the flow of oxygenated blood from reaching all areas of the lungs.

Watch to learn more about nursing interventions and pathophysiology of DVT.
