How Long Is Pulmonary Support Required While Treating Thromboembolism?

I have been diagnosed with a thrombo embolism, with multiple blood clots in both lungs. Was taken to a nearby hospital in Loveland, Colorado, Medical Center of the Rockies, where I received outstanding emergency care. I ve been on oxygen throughout, and on Warfarin. How long do I have to be on oxygen once I maintain the blood viscosity range of between 2 & 3?
