Prevención de la trombosis venosa profunda (TVP) y embolismo pulmonar - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: Si está inmóvil durante un periodo prolongado debido a una cirugía, embarazo, enfermedad o viaje, puede estar en riesgo de desarrollar una trombosis venosa profunda o TVP. La cual es una afección en donde se forma un coágulo de sangre en una vena profunda del cuerpo, normalmente en las piernas. A diferencia de las arterias, que dependen del corazón para que haga circular sangre a través de ellas, las venas transportan sangre con la ayuda de contracciones musculares mientras unos de mueve o camina. Las venas también tienen válvulas que evitan que la sangre fluya en sentido contrario y se acumulen en los brazos y piernas. Cuando está inmóvil durante un periodo prolongado, la velocidad de su circulación venosa disminuye, por consiguiente, los factores de coagulación de la sangre pueden provocar que la sangre lenta se junte formando un coágulo de sangre o trombo. Esta afección se denomina trombosis venosa profunda o TVP. Los síntomas comunes de la TVP incluyen hinchazón de la pierna o de una vena de la pierna, dolor o sensibilidad en el área, incremento en la temperatura de la piel, y piel roja o pálida. En algunos casos de TVP, un coágulo de sangre puede desprenderse de una vena profunda y unirse al flujo sanguíneo. El coágulo viaja desde las venas profundas de la pierna a través de las venas del abdomen hasta el corazón. Y, finalmente, alojarse en la arteria pulmonar o en sus ramas, bloqueando el flujo sanguíneo hacia los pulmones. Esta afección, denominada embolia pulmonar, es muy grave y puede causar daños permanentes en una parte del pulmón. Si el coágulo es grande o si hay muchos coágulos, la embolia pulmonar también puede causar la muerte. Si presenta síntomas de embolia pulmonar, avísele a su médico o enfermera de inmediato. Estos síntomas pueden incluir falta de aliento, dolor agudo repentino en el pecho, sensación de debilidad o mareo, latidos del corazón rápidos o irregulares, o tos que produce sangre. Para ayudar a prevenir la trombosis venosa profunda y la embolia pulmonar, su médico puede ordenarle hacer lo siguiente: caminar periódicamente para evitar que la sangre se acumule en sus piernas; utilizar medias de compresión; y tomar medicamentos anticoagulantes.

What attorneys say about MLA and The Doe Report:
"Whether it's demonstrating a rotator cuff tear, neck movement a few milliseconds after rear impact, or a proposed lumbar fusion, the Doe Report represents an instant on-line database of medical illustration for health-care and legal professionals.

Illustrations can be purchased 'as is' or modified within hours and sent either electronically or mounted on posterboard. An illustration is worth a thousand words, as juries perk up and look intently to capture concepts that are otherwise too abstract. Start with good illustrations, a clear and direct voice, a view of the jury as 12 medical students on day one of training, and your expert testimony becomes a pleasure, even on cross examination. An experienced trial lawyer should also emphasize these illustrations at the end of trial, as a means of visually reinforcing key concepts covered.

As a treating physician, I also use these accurate illustrations to educate my own patients about their medical conditions. The Doe Report is an invaluable resource, and its authors at MLA have always been a pleasure to work with."

"For modern audiences, it is absolutely essential to use medical demonstrative evidence to convey the severity and extent of physical injuries to a jury. Your company's high quality illustrations of our client's discectomy surgery, combined with strong expert testimony, allowed the jury to fully appreciate the significance of our client's injuries.

We are very pleased with a verdict exceeding $297,000.00, far in excess of the $20,000.00 initially offered by the defendant. The medical demonstrative evidence provided by Medical Legal Art was an asset we could not have afforded to have been without."

"[I] have come to rely upon the Doe Report and your great staff of illustrators for all my medical malpractice cases. … Please know that I enthusiastically recommend you to all my colleagues.

"I wanted to take some time out to let you know what a wonderful job you did with the 'collapsed lung/fractured rib' illustrations. They were both detailed and accurate. My medical expert was comfortable working with them and he spent at least an hour explaining to the jury the anatomy of the lungs, the ribs and the injuries depicted in the illustrations. Needless to say, the jury was riveted to the doctor during his testimony.

The jury returned a verdict for $800,000.00 and I'm sure we would not have done so well if not for the visualizations we were able to put forth with your assistance. Lastly, my special thanks to Alice [Senior Medical Illustrator] who stayed late on Friday night and patiently dealt with my last minute revisions."
