It's not easy for a doctor to make a house call when their patient is in space. When NASA researchers suspected a blood clot in one of their astronauts during a long-duration stay on the International Space Station last year, they had to act quickly.
So when NASA researchers suspected a blood clot in one of their astronauts during a long-duration stay on the space station last year, they had to act quickly to treat the unexpected risk. The blood clot was detected during a vascular study of 11 astronauts on the station to assess the effect of space on the internal jugular vein. In zero gravity, astronauts' blood and tissue fluid shifts toward the head.The study involved nine men and two women with an average age of 46.
Astronaut exercise programs may help cancer patients, researchers say"Normally the protocol for treating a patient with deep vein thrombosis would be to start them on blood thinners for at least three months to prevent the clot from getting bigger and to lessen the harm it could cause if it moved to a different part of the body such as the lungs," Moll said.
