Hello,
Heparin in the first hours and then Coumadin, in association with antibiotics, are the medicins for pilmonary blood clot. This is a very serious disease and especialy in the first hours.
Now after 5 days she has passed the major risk and should continue treatment in a normal hospital room, not more in the intensive care unit.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
