Important info for future space travel
USA TODAYPhysician and space travel devotee Stephan Moll’s first wish when NASA reached out for a consultation was to examine the patient in person – at the International Space Station.
NASA has not revealed the patient’s name or the time frame of the incident to protect the privacy of the astronaut, who was two months into a six-month mission at the ISS. The astronaut detected the blood clot – known in medical terms as a deep vein thrombosis, or DVT – while doing neck ultrasound examinations as part of a NASA study on the effects of weightlessness on blood flow.
University of North Carolina professor Stephan Moll, an expert on coagulation who is a fan of space travel, was invited to visit NASA facilities in Houston after the agency asked for his help in treating an astronaut with a blood clot.Moll pointed out blood clots are not always dangerous and usually dissolve on their own. Occasionally they develop on the legs of passengers traveling long stretches in cramped conditions.
All along, the astronaut kept doctors apprised of the condition’s progress with regular ultrasound checkups. In addition, it was difficult and time-consuming for the astronaut to receive the shots of medicine because the liquid clung to the vial in zero gravity. The second supply that arrived later was in pill form.
