Preventing PE involves addressing the underlying risk factors and promoting healthy practices. Key preventive measures include:
Mobility: Encouraging regular movement, especially during long periods of immobility, such as during travel or hospitalization. Compression Therapy: Using compression stockings or devices to improve blood flow in the legs. Lifestyle Changes: Promoting smoking cessation, weight management, and regular physical activity. Medication: Prescribing anticoagulant medications for high-risk individuals, such as those undergoing surgery or with a history of DVT or PE.
