Uyazibuza ukuba uSarah Silverman wenze ntoni mva nje? Kwavela ukuba umhlekisi wayenamava okufa, echitha kwiveki ephelileyo e-ICU ene-epiglottitis, imeko enqabileyo kodwa ebulalayo. Ngombulelo, wasinda, kodwa wasishiya nemibuzo ebalulekileyo. Ngokufanelekileyo, yintoni i-epiglottis kwaye wayenempilo njani, umfazi omdala ephantse wabulawa yeyakhe?

I-epiglottis yincinwana elincinci, eliyinyama emqaleni wakho elisebenza ngathi "lucango lomgibe" eligubungela ukuvulwa kwetrachea yakho, okanye umbhobho womoya, ukunqanda ukutya ukuba kungahambi xa usitya. Ukuphefumla? I-epiglottis iphezulu. Uyatya okanye uyasela? Iphantsi. Xa isebenza kakuhle, awuziva isenza umsebenzi wayo obaluleke kakhulu, kodwa inokosuleleka. Kwaye xa isenzeka, inokuba imeko esongela ubomi ngokukhawuleza.

“I-Epiglottitis ibangelwa lusulelo, oludla ngokuba yibhaktiriya ebizwa ngokuba yi-Haemophilus influenza type B, ebangela ukuba iflap ebhityileyo ibengqukuva kwaye idumbe, njengetsheri ebomvu, ivalele ngokufanelekileyo uqhoqhoqho,” ucacise watsho uRobert Hamilton, MD, ugqirha wabantwana eProvidence Saint. IZiko lezeMpilo likaJohn eSanta Monica.

Yima, kutheni sithetha nogqirha wabantwana? Kuba uninzi lwamatyala achaphazela abantwana ngenxa ye-trachea encinci kunye nokuchaphazeleka okuphezulu kosulelo-kwiminyaka yangaphambi kwe-antibiotics, ibingumbulali oqhelekileyo wabancinci-kodwa ngenxa yeyeza lanamhlanje, akusafane kubonwe, utshilo.

"Kukho isitofu sokugonya se-HiB esikhusela kwintsholongwane ebangela iimeko ezininzi ze-epiglottitis, kodwa uninzi lwabantu abadala alukayifumani," utshilo uHamilton. (Isitofu sokugonya, esikhusela isifo se-meningitis kunye ne-pneumonia, khange sifumaneke kude kube ngo-1987, okuthetha ukuba abantu abazalwe ngaphambi kwalo mhla, njengoSilverman, kuye kwafuneka ukuba bagule njengabantwana ukuze bazikhusele okanye bahlale benesifo. )

Oku kunqabile, kudibene neempawu eziqhelekileyo, kuyenza ukuba ibe sisifo esikhohlisayo, utshilo uHamilton, esongeza ukuba uSilverman wayenethamsanqa elimangalisayo ugqirha wakhe wakuqonda. "Izigulana ngokuqhelekileyo zikhona ngomqala obuhlungu kunye nomkhuhlane. Sisiphi isifo esivakala ngathi? Kakhulu bonke, "utsho.

Kodwa njengoko isifo siqhubeka ngokukhawuleza, izigulana zibonisa "indlala yomoya," oko kuthetha ukuba amanqanaba eoksijini ayahla njengoko besebenza nzima ukuphefumla. Mhlawumbi olona phawu luxhaphakileyo kukuthintela intloko umva kunye nokuzama ukuvula indlela yomoya ngakumbi. Oku kunokukhokelela kugqirha ukuba ayalele iimvavanyo zokuvavanya i-epiglottis okanye ukujonga nje umqala wesigulana-ukuba udumbile kakhulu, kunokubonwa nje ngethotshi.

Okwangoku, yinto engxamisekileyo yezonyango kwaye ifuna nokuba yitracheotomy (inkqubo apho ityhubhu encinci ibekwe ngaphambili entanyeni yomntu) okanye intubation (apho ityhubhu ibekwa khona emqaleni) ukuvula kwangoko indlela yomoya, uHamilton utsho. Isigulana emva koko siphathwa ngamayeza okubulala iintsholongwane kwaye sigcinwe kumbhobho wokuphefumla de usulelo lusombulule kwaye ukudumba kuyadamba, yiyo loo nto uSilverman egcinwe e-ICU kangangeveki.

Ngelixa esithi la mava ayebuhlungu ngendlela emangalisayo, kwakukho amaxesha ahlekisayo. "Ndimise umongikazi-ngokungathi yinto engxamisekileyo- ngomsindo wabhala phantsi inqaku ndamnika," ubhale watsho uSilverman kuFacebook. Wathi akuyijonga, yavele yathi, 'Uhlala nomama wakho?' ecaleni komzobo wobudoda. "

Emva kokuchacha, abaguli abanjengoSilverman ngoku bakhuselekile kwintsholongwane, ucacisa uHamilton. Kodwa ukuba unenkxalabo malunga neepiglottis zakho ezikuhlasela ngaphandle kweblue ngolunye usuku, zimbini izinto onokuzenza ukuthintela oko. Okokuqala, uninzi lwabantu abadala babenohlobo oluncinci losulelo njengabantwana kwaye banokukhuseleka kulo. Kodwa ukhathazekile, unokufumana isitofu sokugonya se-HiB ngoku. Into elungileyo onokuyenza, nangona kunjalo, kukuziqhelanisa nococeko. Hlamba izandla zakho ngesepha kwaye usebenzise amayeza okubulala iintsholongwane kuphela xa kuyimfuneko ngokwenene, utsho uHamilton. (I-Psst ...
