Does A Collapsed Lung Require Precautions For Blood Clots In The Legs?
Hello my mother was just admitted. She collapsed at home at 2:30am because she couldn t breathe. My sister preformed CPR for approximately 8 minutes until the EMS showed up. They took over and took her to the local hospital about 8 minutes away. She had a collapsed lung and possibly suffered a heart attack due to her not being able to breathe. She was then sent to another hospital approximately 30miles away. She has been there now for 2 days. They have performed a procedure of a controlled hypothermia to protect her brain. They are now warming her up to evaluate her responses. They didn t take precautions for her possible blood clots in her legs (no leggings) and now they want to address this issue. They also want to preform an MRI on her brain without having her fully completing her (thawing out process). I believe it s too early to preform this procedure and the leggings were negligent on their part and should have been addressed at the beginning.

Hello I can understand your concern If would be better to take precautions indeed but it is not mandatory if there is not an obvious cause. Regards Dr.jolanda
