美国宇航局宇航员在太空中的血凝块已由地球上的医生治疗

When NASA sends astronauts to the International Space Station, they’re always in tip-top shape. That’s a pretty significant requirement since there’s really no way to treat most emergency medical conditions in space. But as healthy as each and every one of the space travelers is, there’s always something that’s bound to pop up when you least expect it.

当美国国家航空航天局把宇航员送到国际空间站时，他们要一直处于最佳状态。这是一个非常重要的要求，因为没有办法治疗太空中的大多数紧急医疗状况。尽管每个太空旅行者都很健康，但总会有一些事情在你最意想不到的时候出现。

That was the case with one NASA astronaut who was diagnosed with a blood clot after being in space for two months. With a further four months left in the mission, NASA doctors struggled with how to deal with the unfortunate discovery. Thankfully, doctors back on Earth were more than willing to help.

美国宇航局的一名宇航员在太空两个月后被诊断出有血栓。在任务还剩下四个月的时候，NASA的医生们绞尽脑汁想办法处理这个不幸的发现。值得庆幸的是，地球上的医生非常愿意提供帮助。

With little time to consider the options, NASA called upon the expertise of Stephan Moll, MD, of the UNC School of Medicine. Moll is an expert in the treatment of blood clots and, since no NASA astronaut had ever been diagnosed with a blood clot while in space before, NASA desperately wanted his input.

由于没有时间考虑这些选择，美国宇航局求助于北卡罗来纳大学医学院的医学博士斯蒂芬·莫尔。莫尔是治疗血凝块的专家，由于美国宇航局的宇航员在太空中从来没有被诊断出有血凝块，美国宇航局迫切需要他的意见。

Ultimately, Moll and NASA decided that the astronaut, who isn’t named in the report, should begin taking blood thinners.

最终，莫尔和美国国家航空航天局(NASA)决定，这位没有在报告中点名的宇航员应该开始服用血液稀释剂。

The astronaut continued to take the blood thinners until just before their mission came to an end, stopping the treatment four days prior to the return trip to Earth, in order to ensure the added stress on the body wouldn’t cause problems with the medication.

宇航员继续服用血液稀释剂，直到他们的任务结束，在返回地球的四天前停止治疗，以确保增加的身体压力不会造成药物问题。
