Okay, welcome my name is Devine. This is episode 444 of the Devine Intervention

Podcast. In today's podcast I'm going to be talking about the high-yield

thromboses, the high-yield thromboses. This is one of those seminal podcasts. You know you're

going to get tons of questions right on this stuff on your exams so just I

would certainly pay attention to it. This should be a pretty short podcast, but it should be a pretty high-yield podcast.

So I guess maybe one thing that may be helpful to start off with here is differentiating between a thrombosis and an embolism.

A thrombosis typically arises within a blood vessel.

Arises for many different reasons, but it arises within a blood vessel. Many times you know you have injuries on the wall of a blood vessel or you have one of a Vercostriads operating and that messes of a blood vessel you form

a thrombus that occlut's flow in that blood vessel. And then unfortunately in some situations some of those thromba can break off and

it can then go elsewhere. Whenever you see something that forms in one place, like a thrombus or whatever, that forms in one place, and it travels elsewhere to cause problems, that's an embolus. An embolus. I think of embolus. I think of embassy. Like, oh oh if you want to travel to a different country

you go to the embassy of that country and get a visa so basically a thrumbus breaks if a

thrombus breaks off and then goes elsewhere that's gonna form that's to be an embolus. Sometimes we call it a

thromboe embolus. That means it's an embolus that formed from a thrombus. Now, you

might afraid me see Veracos triad, Verkha on the lies the formation of many

thrombie many embolite in the body right what's Verkostriad well you can remember the

mnemonic she the S stands for for a thesis. Whenever you have blood

stasis you can absolutely form emboli. I just kind of throw by I always think of

it this way. Basically if things are just going to think of it this way like if you

have food that's like lumpy that's like pasty if it'll be standing for a long time

it's going to congeal it's it's gonna coagulate in a sense.

So basically whenever you have blood that's kind of static for many different reasons, so let's say, for example, a person has had a recent

and the heart is not contracting well. Blood is going to be
