Isishwankathelo

Yintoni i-sepsis?

I-Sepsis yindlela umzimba wakho ophendula ngayo kwaye ugqithise kakhulu kusulelo. I-Sepsis yinto esongela ubomi engxamisekileyo. Ngaphandle konyango olukhawulezileyo, kunokukhokelela ekonakaleni kwezicubu, ukusilela kwamalungu, kunye nokufa.

Yintoni ebangela i-sepsis?

I-Sepsis yenzeka xa usulelo sele lubangela ukusabela kwetyathanga kuwo wonke umzimba wakho. Usulelo lwebacteria sesona sizathu sixhaphakileyo, kodwa ezinye iintlobo zosulelo zinokubangela oko.

Usulelo luhlala lusemiphungeni, isisu, izintso, okanye isinyi. Kungenzeka ukuba i-sepsis iqale ngokusikwa okuncinci okusulelayo okanye kosulelo oluqhubeka emva kotyando. Ngamanye amaxesha, i-sepsis inokwenzeka kubantu abangazange bazi nokuba banosulelo.

Ngubani osemngciphekweni wespsis?

Nabani na onesifo unokufumana i-sepsis. Kodwa abantu abathile basemngciphekweni omkhulu:

• Abantu abadala abangama-65 okanye ngaphezulu
• Abantu abaneemeko ezingapheliyo, ezinjengesifo seswekile, isifo semiphunga, umhlaza kunye nesifo sezintso
• Abantu abanamajoni omzimba abuthathaka
• Abafazi abakhulelweyo
• Abantwana abangaphantsi komnye

Zithini iimpawu zespsis?

I-Sepsis inokubangela enye okanye ngaphezulu kwezi mpawu:

• Ukuphefumla ngokukhawuleza kunye nokubetha kwentliziyo
• Ukuqhawukelwa ngumphefumlo
• Ukudideka okanye ukudideka
• Intlungu egqithisileyo okanye ukungonwabi
• Umkhuhlane, ukungcangcazela, okanye ukuziva ubanda kakhulu
• I-Clammy okanye ulusu olubilayo

Kubalulekile ukufumana unyango ngoku nangoku ukuba ucinga ukuba unokuba ne-sepsis okanye ukuba usulelo lwakho alubangcono okanye luya lisiba mandundu.

Zeziphi ezinye iingxaki ezinokubangelwa yi-sepsis?

Iimeko ezinzima ze-sepsis zingakhokelela ekutshatyalalisweni kwe-septic, apho uxinzelelo lwegazi luwela kwinqanaba eliyingozi kwaye izitho ezininzi zinokusilela.

Ifunyaniswa njani i-sepsis?

Ukwenza isifo, umboneleli wakho wezempilo

• Uya kubuza malunga nembali yakho yonyango kunye neempawu
• Uya kwenza uvavanyo lomzimba, kubandakanya nokujonga imiqondiso ebalulekileyo (ubushushu bakho, uxinzelelo lwegazi, ukubetha kwentliziyo, kunye nokuphefumla)
• Ngaba uya kwenza uvavanyo lweelebhu olukhangela iimpawu zosulelo okanye ukonakala komzimba
• Kusenokufuneka ukuba wenze iimvavanyo zokucinga ezifana ne-x-ray okanye i-CT scan ukufumana indawo yosulelo

Uninzi lweempawu kunye neempawu ze-sepsis zinokubangelwa zezinye iimeko zonyango. Oku kunokwenza i-sepsis ibenzima ukuyixilonga kwinqanaba layo lokuqala.

Luthini unyango lwe-sepsis?

Kubaluleke kakhulu ukufumana unyango kwangoko. Unyango luhlala lubandakanya

• Amayeza okubulala iintsholongwane
• Ukugcina ukuhamba kwegazi kumalungu. Oku kunokubandakanya ukufumana ioksijini kunye ne-intravenous (IV) fluid.
• Ukunyanga umthombo wosulelo
• Ukuba kuyimfuneko, amayeza okunyusa uxinzelelo lwegazi

Kwiimeko ezinzima, unokufuna i-dialysis yezintso okanye ityhubhu yokuphefumla. Abanye abantu bafuna utyando ukususa izicwili ezonakaliswe lusulelo.

Ngaba i-sepsis inokuthintelwa?

Ukuthintela i-sepsis, kuya kufuneka uzame ukuthintela usulelo:

• Khathalela kakuhle naziphi na iimeko zempilo ezingapheliyo onazo
• Fumana izitofu zokugonya ezicetyiswayo
• Ziqhelise ukucoceka, njengokuhlamba izandla
• Gcina ukusika kucocekile kwaye kugqunywe kude kube kuphilisiwe
