China’s over treatment, including abuse of antibiotics and over infusion, has made a dynamic explanation for “the harm brought by medicine is more than the benefits”. One of the medication principles of the World Health Organization is that you can take medicine without injection, and you can take injection without infusion. However, this principle has long been broken through in China. One of the most common treatment methods is infusion and the use of antibiotics. Excessive infusion is harmful. No doctor doesn’t know why “knowingly and deliberately” is nothing more than for the interests of individuals and units. To eliminate excessive infusion treatment, in addition to strengthening publicity and education, doctors’ self-discipline and the cooperation of patients and their families, we should rely on systems to ensure doctors’ treatment and restrict doctors’ behavior; Only by ensuring the normal operation of medical institutions and restricting the blind expansion and profit seeking behavior of “gaodaquan, qixinjian” of medical institutions can we restrict the blind infusion and over treatment. The following describes the possible hazards of infusion, so as to arouse the warning of the whole people.
1. Fever reaction
input of thermogenic substances, imperfect cleaning and sterilization of infusion bottles or contamination will lead to patients’ chills, chills and fever, and the severe fever can reach 40 ~ 41 ℃.
2. Pulmonary edema
because the infusion speed is too fast and too much liquid is input in a short time, the circulating blood volume increases sharply and the heart burden is too heavy, resulting in edema, which is life-threatening in severe cases. Patients with a history of heart failure or heart disease may receive rapid and massive infusion or aggravate heart failure, or induce pulmonary edema.
3. Phlebitis
because of long-term infusion of highly irritating drug solution with high concentration, or placement of irritating plastic tube in the vein for too long, it can cause chemical inflammatory reaction of local vein wall, or local vein infection due to lax aseptic operation during infusion.
4. The reason for air embolism
is that the air is not exhausted during infusion, the rubber pipe is not tightly connected, and there are leaks. As long as a small amount of air enters the vein, the patient will feel abnormal discomfort in the chest, followed by dyspnea, severe cyanosis and hypoxia, which can lead to sudden death.
5. “Malignant” adverse drug reactions
drip is also more prone to adverse drug reactions, especially allergic reactions, than oral drugs. If it is taken orally, the impurities that can cause allergy in the drug may be digested in the digestive tract or cannot be absorbed by the body, but these impurities directly enter the blood when drip, which can seriously cause anaphylactic shock or even death. Recently, the media frequently appeared that patients died suddenly due to the use of traditional Chinese medicine injection. This is the reason. The media also exposed that a hospital found black flocs in the infusion bottle. Some doctors said that “the adverse drug reaction is ultimately the cause of the drug itself, but intravenous drip leads to the aggravation of this adverse reaction, which can lead to shock and even death“ “Xinfu” injection, Houttuynia cordata injection, acanthopanax senticosus injection and Yinzhihuang Injection cause serious adverse reactions, which are shocking and lingering pain.
according to the statistics of China safe injection alliance, the number of deaths caused by unsafe injection in China is more than 390000 every year. At present, in order to defraud money, the phenomenon of “hanging bottles for all diseases” is very serious in some village clinics or hospitals. Even minor diseases such as toothache, cold and cold should be hung up. Expert survey found that more than 95% of people do not know the harm of abusing infusion and unsafe injection. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, more than 70% of the infusion is unnecessary. The shocking abuse of infusion and irrational drug use have brought great disasters to mankind.
6. Granuloma hazard
recently, a 25 day newborn died of enteritis. In the later stage of treatment, thousands of ml of infusion was given. Granuloma was found in the pathological section of his lung, which was caused by insoluble particles brought by a large amount of infusion.
in recent decades, the harm of insoluble particles in the process of infusion has been gradually recognized by people. The human naked eye can see particles with a diameter of more than 50 microns, and it is precisely those harmful particles with a diameter of between 2-50 microns, invisible to the naked eye, moving and unable to metabolize in the body that enter the blood vessels, resulting in various infusion pollution diseases.
a hospital in Beijing found that 598 particles with a particle size of 4-30 microns could be found in 1 ml of 20% mannitol solution. 542 particles with a particle size of 2-16 microns can be detected in the solution of 1 ml of 50% glucose added to penicillin. If there are so many particles in one milliliter of liquid medicine, there will be 200000 particles in 500 milliliters of liquid medicine. Because the diameter of the smallest capillaries in the human body is only 4-7 microns, if you often hit the “hanging bottle”, particles more than 4 microns in the liquid medicine will accumulate in capillaries such as heart, lung, liver, kidney, muscle and skin. In the long run, it will directly cause microvascular thrombosis, bleeding, increased venous pressure, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis and cancer. Particle blockage can also cause local blood supply insufficiency, tissue ischemia, hypoxia, edema, inflammation, allergy and so on. After a large number of particles entering the human body with infusion are swallowed by macrophages, macrophages can increase and form granuloma.
after a large number of particles entering the human body with infusion are swallowed by macrophages, macrophages can increase and form granuloma. A scholar dissected a corpse who had lost 40 liters of “hanging bottle” in his life and found that there were more than 500 granulomas and a large number of microvascular plugs in the lungs of the corpse alone.
7. Iatrogenic infection
in several modes of administration, intravenous drip is the most dangerous. It needs strict aseptic treatment to make drops penetrate the skin barrier and directly input the drug solution into the blood. If the liquid medicine is polluted in the process of production or storage, or the disposable needle is not used, or the skin at the acupuncture site is not disinfected well, it may allow viruses and bacteria to enter the body. At least, it will cause local inflammation, and at worst, the pathogen will spread to the whole body with the blood, causing sepsis, which will be life-threatening. If complete sterility cannot be achieved in the medical environment, it will lead to cross infection.
