embolism

listen to the pronunciation of embolism
Englisch - Englisch
An obstruction or occlusion of an artery by an embolus, that is by a blood clot, air bubble or other matter that has been transported by the blood stream
an obstruction or plugging up of an artery or other blood-vessel
{n} an intercalation, a time inserted
The process of forming a detached mass within a blood vessel
The name of an event where clots detach from their source and migrate through the circulation to another blood vessel or body organ
Intercalated time
Any foreign particle i e clot, fat globule etc in a blood vessel
A sudden blockage of an artery by a clot
—The blockage of a blood vessel by an embolus—something previously circulating in the blood (such as a blood clot, gas bubble, tissue, bacteria, bone marrow, cholesterol, fat, etc )
Obstruction of a blood vessel by a transported clot, a mass of bacteria, or other foreign material
Embolism in the brain often produces sudden unconsciousness and paralysis
= blockade of a blood vessel by disseminated tissue fragments, foreign bodies, gas bubbles, thrombus or the like
An embolism is a serious medical condition that occurs when an artery becomes blocked, usually by a blood clot. something such as a hard mass of blood or a small amount of air that blocks a tube carrying blood through the body (embolismus, from emballein; EMBLEM). Obstruction of blood flow by an embolus a substance (e.g., a blood clot, a fat globule from a crush injury, or a gas bubble) not normally present in the bloodstream. Obstruction of an artery to the brain may cause stroke. Pulmonary embolism (in the pulmonary artery or a branch) causes difficulty breathing, chest pain, and death of a section of lung tissue, with fever and rapid heartbeat. Embolism in a coronary artery can cause heart attack. See also thrombosis
The blocking of a blood vessel by a blood clot that has formed in one place, has traveled to another point in the circulatory system and has lodged at that point
an insertion into a calendar
the sudden obstruction of a blood vessel by an embolus
An embolism is when an embolus - a traveling clot of blood, fat, air, or other substance - lodges in an artery and blocks the blood flow Pulmonary embolisms (clots in the pulmonary artery) are the most common An embolus which goes to the brain can cause a stroke
The occlusion of a blood vessel by an embolus
the blocking of a blood vessel or organ by pieces of matter such as fat
The cessation of blood flow through an artery due to a sudden blockage from a blood clot; this leads to a stroke when it occurs in the carotid arteries and to a heart attack when it occurs in the coronary arteries
Obstruction of a vessel
Obstruction of a blood vessel by a transported clot, a mass of bacteria, etc
occlusion of a blood vessel by an embolus (a loose clot or air bubble or other particle) an insertion into a calendar
Intercalation; the insertion of days, months, or years, in an account of time, to produce regularity; as, the embolism of a lunar month in the Greek year
occlusion of a blood vessel by an embolus (a loose clot or air bubble or other particle)
{i} blockage of an artery or vein by a blood clot or other undissolved matter (Medicine)
Obstruction of a blood vessel by an embolus, or foreign substance, that has been transported by the ciruculatory system The embolus may be a blood clot, an air bubble, a fat globule, a clump of bacteria, a tumor cell, a piece of foreign matter such as a bullet fragment or a portion of a parasite such as a tapeworm The result is an infarct, an area of dead tissue caused by obstruction of the flow of blood to the body cells in an area fed by no collateral system Infarction may damage the heart or the brain, causing heart failure or paralysis
In plant pathology a term used to describe the disruption of water conduction, usually by an air-lock
sudden obstruction of a blood vessel by an embolus
A body in the circulation that obstructs blood flow There are a number of types of emboli, including thromboemboli (blood clots in the circulation), fat emboli (due, for example, to release of fat globules into the circulation from bone marrow as can occur in fractures accompanying traumatic accidents), and air emboli (due, for example, to faulty injection technique)
amniotic fluid embolism
A complication of pregnancy characterized by movement of amniotic fluid past the placenta
pulmonary embolism
The embolism or obstruction of a pulmonary artery, usually by a detached blood clot from a leg or pelvic vein, which causes a stoppage of blood into the lungs; symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, fainting, and sometimes death
air embolism
Same as Arterial Gas Embolism
air embolism
obstruction of the circulatory system caused by an air bubble as, e
air embolism
When a vein is open, especially if the pressure inside that vein is low, air can enter the blood stream and may reach the heart or the brain   It occurs mostly after a lung injury and can be fatal
air embolism
obstruction of the circulatory system caused by an air bubble as, e g , accidentally during surgery or hypodermic injection or as a complication from scuba diving
air embolism
Obstruction of a blood vessel by an air bubble
air embolism
pain resulting from rapid change in pressure
air embolism
A condition that occurs when air enters the bloodstream through ruptured alveoli into the pulmonary capillaries The air in the bloodstream then forms bubbles, which can block blood flow to the body's tissues
air embolism
accidentally during surgery or hypodermic injection or as a complication from scuba diving
air embolism
An embolus composed of air bubbles
air embolism
Presence of air in the vascular system; if air embolism is suspected, turn patient onto left side in Trendelenburg
embolisms
plural of embolism
fat embolism
serious condition in which fat blocks an artery; fat can enter the blood stream after a long bone is fractured or if adipose tissue is injured or as a result of a fatty liver
pulmonary embolism
blockage of the pulmonary artery by foreign matter or by a blood clot
