@erinwinick: Medical problems in space can be scary, but it’s very cool to see issues like this blood clot resolved via telemedicine and what the space station crew had on hand! My favorite part of this story though is that money is actually being dedicated to learning more about this issue! Love to see a problem uncovered and funds dedicated to science to solve it. Note that I used random pictures of crew members taking ultrasounds and participating in the Fluid Shift study on station. NASA did not reveal the crew member impacted at the time. #space #EduTok #internationalspacestation #nasa #learnontiktok

Wait, reversal of blood flow?

DVT can occur in other areas of the body aside from the Jugular. They're most common in the legs. For our patients who are bedbound and are a DVT precation; We use SCD pumps which wrap around someones legs and inflate in a pattern to mimic walking, which stimulates bloodflow to prevent clots. I would wager that this particular astronaut was already at risk of DVT and the low gravity and lack of traditional mobility encouraged the clots

I wonder if the clot didnt affect him as much because the blood flow to his head was slowed due to the fluid reversal
