Infusion is a small intravenous infusion of beneficial substances to the body in order to support the treatment or recovery of the body . However, how to spread the fluid properly is not everyone knows.

Infusion is a medical technique that not everyone can do, but now the infusion is done in a fairly common and arbitrary way . There are even many people who are not sick, only see people tired a little but want to be stronger, insist on the doctor asking for "sea" . This is arbitrary and abusive can lead to dangerous accidents, possibly losing lives. This is something to be warned in the community.

Understand transmission fluids in infusion

Infusions are sterile drug solutions for infusion that drip into a vein in large quantities. Infusions have many types with active ingredients at different concentrations. Infusion may be in hypertonic or isotonic form with corresponding substances in the blood. Some types of infusions are quite full of substances and are used as plasma substitutes or vitamin and amino acid supplements in some necessary cases.

Infusion may be in hypertonic or isotonic form with corresponding substances in the blood.

Infusions work to raise body blood pressure, to balance electrolytes in the blood when patients suffer from blood loss, dehydration due to injuries, accidents, surgery, due to diarrhea, prolonged vomiting , due to burns, due to cases of excessive sweating in very hot conditions.

Some infusions have amino acids, vitamins, and glucose that compensate for these substances.Infusion when necessary also works to solve the toxins in the body when poisoned by drugs, food poisoning, acute infection, help increase urine excretion. Some types of infusion solutions are also used as solvents for some injections.

In fact, the infusion is divided into 4 categories as follows

  1. Infusion fluid to compensate and electrolyte balance includes some types such as isotonic 0.9% sodium chloride solution, lactate Ringer solution; 2% potassium chloride solution.
  2. Nutrient supply solution for the body , such as 5% isotonic glucose solution, 20% hypertonic or 30%; mixture of amino acids (such as alvesin, moriamin), vitamins and mineral salts (such as vitaplex) .
  3. Plasma substitutes maintain blood pressure, anti-cardiovascular, such as: dry plasma (plasma sec), dextran, subtosan.
  4. Anti-acid and alkaline solution , such as: sodium hydrocarbon 1.4%.

Infusions commonly consumed currently have many types, often called French, American, Korean . or domestic proteins. The popular and widely available type is Mo of Japan, Germany's Alvesin . This is a solution consisting of essential amino acids, some vitamins and mineral salts are often indicated when patients are not real. currently fed by the gastrointestinal tract, resuscitation, before and after surgery, severe burns, depletion .

Depending on the condition of the patient's body, the doctor will give any type of fluids.

When should you transmit fluids?

First of all, we need to understand the role of water and some electrolytes in the body.

Water accounts for 70% of body weight and is distributed 50% in cells, 5% in plasma, 15% in the intercellular space. Water is the environment for the body's chemical compounds to exist and fulfill their role, participating in the elimination of residues of metabolic processes in the body. When the body has diarrhea, blood loss will lose a lot of water causing many physiological disorders that are life-threatening.

Should infusion or medicine be taken?

There is a common belief that injections are better than oral ones. Therefore, when going to the clinic, some patients insist on the physician for injections.

In particular, there are many people who are not sick, just feel a little tired but want to be better, insist on physicians asking for "sea water", "protein" or "fat". "Sea water" is a word that some of us are used to calling the same types of infusions, while "protein" is a fluids containing nutrients that are amino acids, and "fat" is a fat-containing fluid. energy.

It is necessary to emphasize, infusion, infinitely many infusions are very precious when it comes to things but not always the best way to cure or to nourish, enhance health.

Effect of arbitrary infusion

Clearly with the effects used in the treatment, the infusion is a very precious form of medicine, very necessary in case of serious illness requiring emergency treatment (sometimes infusion of fluid that saves lives) or in the case of patients can't take medicine.

However, because there are many types of infusions, using any type of infusion will depend on each case of specific diseases with the dose infused into the body will be considered for each person, with the monitoring of the physician Not all types can transmit and transmit at any dose.

What we want to especially note to you is that when infusion, with any fluids, can have very serious complications.

First of all is the risk of infection, originating from where the drug is put into the body. Infectious diseases such as HIV / AIDS, hepatitis B, and C. can all be transmitted through injecting, especially through infusion, if the indiscriminate transmission is not proper, not sterile. . Secondly, due to fluid infusion, a large amount of water, electrolytes and nutrients can cause disorders of metabolism, causing heart and kidney edema .

In particular, infusions can cause a systemic reaction when the body is not "resistant" to the phenomenon of tremor fever or dangerous fluid shock. Therefore, when physicians indicated that the infusion was carefully considered, it was necessary and when infusion, physicians had to closely monitor so that if there were complications, there would be timely treatment measures.

Note when infusion for children

Children are also objects that some parents often insist on infusion.

Only when there is a severe dengue fever, there is a loss of water from the blood in the body does the doctor appoint an infusion fluid.If only a fever is common, the cause is unknown and rushing the infusion is very wrong.

There are special cases that need to be mentioned for children, although not as chubby as some other children of the same age but normal health is not sick, eating is still good, yet parents find ways to inject Infusions with the aim to be stronger and stout are very dangerous.

Such an infusion is not only wasted because it is actually for a normal child (please do not have the idea that a chubby child is synonymous with health), but the infusion does not have the effect of being "healthier, more fat". Infected children are always at risk of the above-mentioned complications due to infusion.

It should be noted, only a doctor is the most competent person in deciding whether or not to translate . And usually, only when it is not possible to eat or drink due to a doctor's condition can the infusion be given to provide energy and nutrients.

In case of eating, the appropriate diet is always better than feeding with infusion which has a high risk of complications.

Note to translate the fluid properly

In fact, there have been many cases of fluid-induced accidents such as patients with partial necrosis due to deviation or death from anaphylaxis. Of course, the above risk cases are not many, but the abuse of infusion also causes many unnecessary costs in terms of money and time, can not predict the risks if the situation happened. People need to be equipped with basic knowledge on this issue to avoid "money loss and disability".

Not really need it, it should not be transmitted

Infusion is also considered a drug, so the dose must be prescribed by a doctor and should be monitored continuously to prevent complications. Some contraindications such as acute renal failure, chronic renal failure, liver failure, severe hepatitis, acute skull injury . When indicated for transmission, it is also necessary to carefully check the risks due to the quality of the epidemic. infusion: use only clear bottles (shake the medicine bottle to check if it is still there). Only if the bottle is still in use, the medicine that has been opened must be used immediately.

For proper infusion, attention should be paid to checking the transmission line (intact without tearing the bag), antiseptic where the injection is thoughtful . Do not add other drugs to the infusion fluid (unless directed by a doctor).

Patients with severe renal insufficiency with hyperkalemia, blood urea, heart failure, acidosis . must be used very carefully. Cases of anaphylaxis often result in death. Therefore, most physicians often recommend that if not necessary, it is not necessary to transmit protein. The body is weak, anorexia needs to review the diet, rest, work, practice accordingly. If you want to use supplements, you should use a drink, a simpler use.

In order to ensure the lives of patients, nitrogenous transmission must be directed by a doctor , transmitted at the medical facility, there must be anti-stun and anti-shock emergency medicine, a follow-up must be accompanied by an infusion slip to there are timely handling complications.
