Embolus (Embolus, plural Etboli)

An embolus is an obstructive mass, such as a blood clot, fat, air, or foreign body, that is carried by the bloodstream from one blood vessel to another and becomes lodged in it, causing an embolism.

Emboli usually form from blood clots, fatty particles, gas bubbles, or foreign bodies that enter the bloodstream. They move through the circulatory system until they encounter a vessel with a smaller diameter than their own size. Once lodged in a vessel, the embolus blocks blood flow, leading to ischemia and necrosis of the tissue supplied by that vessel.

The most dangerous emboli are formed during pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke. Timely recognition and treatment of embolic complications is essential to prevent disability and death.

An embolus (Embolus, plural. Etboli) is an obstructive mass that can be formed from various substances, such as blood clots, fat, air or foreign bodies. These masses travel through the circulatory system and can cause embolism, which is a serious medical condition.

Blood clots are the most common type of embolus. They can form in blood vessels due to injury, surgery, or a disease such as thrombosis. If a blood clot breaks loose and enters the bloodstream, it can cause an embolism.

Fat emboli usually form from bone fractures or other injuries that can damage the bone marrow. Fatty particles that are normally found in the bone marrow can enter the bloodstream and cause an embolism.

Air emboli can form due to injury or surgery, which can damage the lungs or other organs. If an air bubble enters the bloodstream, it can cause a blockage in the circulatory system, leading to an embolism.

Foreign bodies such as pieces of eggplant or bones can also cause an embolism if they enter the bloodstream. Other causes of embolism may include infections, tumors, and a number of genetic diseases.

An embolism can lead to serious consequences such as myocardial infarction, stroke, or lung damage. Treatment for an embolism depends on its type and how severely it has damaged the body. In some cases, surgery may be required to remove the embolus.

Overall, an embolism is a serious medical condition, and if you suspect you have one, it is important to see a doctor immediately. Seeking medical help early can help prevent serious complications and keep you healthy.

An embolus is a blockage of blood vessels and arteries. The term comes from the Latin word embolus, meaning "exploded blood." It describes a situation where blood in a vessel suddenly becomes clogged, leading to blockage of blood flow and dangerous consequences such as cardiac or pulmonary arrest.

An embolus can occur for a variety of reasons, including bleeding disorders, vascular injury, and external blockages. It can cause serious illness and even death. However, many cases of embolism are associated with outdated venous catheterization for artificial feeding.

Symptoms of an embolism may include dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, loss of consciousness, and other severe conditions that require immediate medical attention.
