Ucwaningo luye lwabonisa ukuthi indiza, isitimela, abagibeli bebhasi noma bezimoto abahlala behlezi ohambweni olungaphezu kwamahora amane basengozini enkulu ye-venous thromboembolism ngokubangela ukuthi igazi le-venous limile, okuvumela amahlule egazi ukuba akheke emithanjeni.Ngaphezu kwalokho, abagibeli abathatha izindiza eziningi ngesikhathi esifushane nabo basengozini enkulu, ngoba ingozi ye-venous thromboembolism ayipheli ngokuphelele ngemva kokuphela kwendiza, kodwa ihlala iphezulu amasonto amane.

Kunezinye izici ezingase zandise ingozi ye-venous thromboembolism ngesikhathi sohambo, lo mbiko uphakamisa, okuhlanganisa ukukhuluphala ngokweqile, ukuphakama okuphezulu kakhulu noma okuphansi (ngaphezulu kuka-1.9m noma ngaphansi kuka-1.6m), ukusetshenziswa kokuvimbela inzalo ngomlomo nesifo segazi sofuzo.

Ochwepheshe basikisela ukuthi ukunyakaza okuya phezulu naphansi kwelunga leqakala lonyawo kungasebenzisa imisipha yethole futhi kukhuthaze ukugeleza kwegazi emithanjeni yemisipha yethole, ngaleyo ndlela kunciphise ukumila kwegazi.Ngaphezu kwalokho, abantu kufanele bakugweme ukugqoka izingubo ezimpintshayo lapho besohambweni, njengoba lezo zingubo zingase zidale igazi.

Ngo-2000, ukushona kowesifazane osemusha waseBrithani ovela endizeni ethatha uhambo olude e-Australia evela embolism yamaphaphu kwadonsela abezindaba kanye nokunaka komphakathi engcupheni ye-thrombosis kubahambi abahamba ibanga elide.I-WHO yethula i-WHO Global Travel Hazards Project ngo-2001, umgomo wesigaba sokuqala kuwukuqinisekisa ukuthi ukuhamba kuyayinyusa yini ingozi ye-venous thromboembolism kanye nokunquma ubukhulu bengozi;ngemva kokutholakala koxhaso olwanele, kuzoqalwa ucwaningo lwesibili lwezigaba oluhloselwe ukuhlonza izindlela zokuvimbela eziphumelelayo.

Ngokusho kwe-WHO, ukubonakaliswa okubili okuvame kakhulu kwe-venous thromboembolism i-deep vein thrombosis kanye ne-pulmonary embolism.I-Deep vein thrombosis yisimo lapho ihlule legazi noma i-thrombus yakheka emithanjeni ejulile, ngokuvamile emlenzeni ongezansi.Izimpawu ze-deep vein thrombosis ngokuyinhloko ubuhlungu, ukuzwela, nokuvuvukala endaweni ethintekile.

I-Thromboembolism yenzeka lapho ihlule legazi emithanjeni yemikhawulo engezansi (kusuka ku-deep vein thrombosis) liphuka futhi lidlule emzimbeni liya emaphashini, lapho libeka khona futhi livimbe ukugeleza kwegazi.Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi i-pulmonary embolism.Izimpawu zihlanganisa ubuhlungu besifuba kanye nobunzima bokuphefumula.

I-venous thromboembolism ingatholwa ngokuqapha nokwelashwa, kodwa uma ingelashwa, ingaba yingozi empilweni, kusho i-WHO.
