What is Lymphedema?
Lymphedema is a chronic condition where the body’s lymphatic fluid doesn’t drain properly, leading to swelling in one or more limbs. It may develop after cancer treatment, surgery, or be inherited. The affected area can feel heavy, tight, or uncomfortable and requires special care. Emergency responders may not be aware of the risks associated with using affected limbs for blood draws or IVs — making an ICE card essential for safe and informed treatment.
