A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blood clot that develops in a blood vessel in the
body (often in the leg). It then travels to a lung artery where it suddenly blocks
blood flow.

Pulmonary embolism is caused by a blocked artery in the lungs. The most common cause
of such a blockage is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein in the leg and travels
to the lungs, where it gets lodged in a smaller lung artery. Almost all blood clots
that cause pulmonary embolism are formed in the deep leg veins.

The following are the most common symptoms of pulmonary embolism :

 * Sudden shortness of breath (most common)

 * Chest pain (usually worse with breathing)

 * A feeling of anxiety.

 * A feeling of dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.

 * Irregular heartbeat.

 * Palpitations (heart racing)

 * Coughing and/or coughing up blood.

 * Sweating.

To evaluate a diagnostic strategy for pulmonary embolism clinical assessment is 
often documented as patients first choice. However, patients can go through such
a step by using an advanced machine that helps them accurately and correctly locate
the place of the vein. This device is called a vein finder.

The SIFSOF, for example, has become aware of such medical issues and the need to
heal it through facilitating the diagnosis process. For this reason they have advanced
to the medical market their exclusive invention: [FDA Portable Vein Detector SIFVEIN-5.2](https://sifsof.com/product/medical-vein-finder-sifvein-5-2/)

The SIFVEIN-5.2 is specifically designed for circumstances where locating a vein
is difficult or necessitates extra concentration and care. Regardless of the patient’s
age, skin color, or obesity level, the Portable Vein Detector SIFVEIN-5.2 permits
veins to be seen clearly in a depth of 10 mm beneath the skin of the leg.

The device also has a depth recognition mode that improves judgment of the vein’s
depth, as well as three colors (red, green, and white) that can be switched at any
time based on the light in the room and the patient’s skin tone, making the vein
more visible, easier to access, and increasing clinical accuracy. As a result, any
potential failure diagnosis is ruled out, equally as the pulmonary embolism patient’s
fear, anxiety, and most importantly pain.

Vein detectors, such as SIFSOF’s reliable and clear vein illuminator SIFVEIN-5.2,
have so proven their effectiveness during skin difficult IV procedure. That’s why
it should be doctors’ nurses and pulmonary embolism patient’s first option if they
are looking for an accurate diagnosis,effective treatment and quick recovery.
