UHillary Spangler wayekwibanga lesithandathu xa wehla nomkhuhlane owawuphantse wamthatha ubomi. Ebenomkhuhlane omkhulu kwaye umzimba ubuhlungu kangangeeveki ezimbini, ebengena ephuma kugqirha, kodwa akukho nto imenza azive engcono. Kwakungekho utata kaSpangler waqaphela irhashalala engalweni yakhe ukuba wasiwa e-ER apho oogqirha baqonda ukuba into ayilwayo yayimbi kakhulu.

Emva kwempompo yomqolo kunye noluhlu lweemvavanyo zegazi, uSpangler wafunyaniswa ene-sepsis-imeko esongela ubomi yezonyango. “Kukusabela komzimba kusulelo,” uyacacisa uMark Miller, MD, isazi sebhayoloji kunye negosa eliyintloko lezonyango kwi-bioMérieux. "Inokuqala kwimiphunga okanye kumchamo okanye inokuba yinto elula njenge-appendicitis, kodwa sisistim somzimba sokuzikhusela komzimba kwaye sibangele iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zokungaphumeleli komzimba kunye nokonakala kwethishu."

Bekungayi kuba ngaphandle kwesiqhelo ukuba awuzange uve nge-sepsis ngaphambili. "Ingxaki nge-sepsis kukuba ayiqatshelwanga kwaye abantu abazange bayive," kusho uDkt Miller. (Eyeleleneyo: Ngaba Ukuzilolonga Ngokugqithisileyo kunokubangela iSepsis?)

Ukanti ngokwamaZiko oLawulo lweNtsholongwane kunye noThintelo (CDC), ngaphezulu kwesigidi sepsis senzeka minyaka le. Yimbangela yesithoba ekhokelela kwizifo ezinxulumene nezifo eMelika. Ngapha koko, i-sepsis ibulala abantu abangaphezulu e-US kunomdlavuza we-Prostate, umhlaza webele, kunye noGawulayo ngokudibeneyo, ngokweZiko leSizwe lezeMpilo.

Ukubona iimpawu ezilumkisayo kwangethuba, uGqr. Miller ucebisa ukuba uye kwigumbi likaxakeka ukuba “unerhashalala, uphefumla nzima, kwaye unemvakalelo eyothusayo yentshabalalo”-enokuthi ibe yindlela yomzimba wakho yokukuxelela into ethile. engalunganga ngenene kwaye ufuna uncedo kwangoko. (ICDC inoluhlu lwezinye iimpawu ekufuneka uzijongile.)

Ngethamsanqa, uSpangler nosapho lwakhe, bakuba oogqirha bezibonile ezi mpawu, bamdlulisela kwisibhedlele sabantwana i-UNC apho wabalekiselwa e-ICU ukuyokufumana ukhathalelo aludingayo ukusindisa ubomi bakhe. Kwinyanga kamva, ekugqibeleni uSpangler wakhululwa esibhedlele waza waqalisa indlela yakhe yokuchacha.

"Ngenxa yeengxaki zomkhuhlane kunye ne-sepsis ndashiywa ndiboshwe isitulo esinamavili kwaye kwafuneka ndinyangwe kakhulu emva koko amaxesha amane ngeveki ukuze ndifunde ukuhamba kwakhona," utshilo uSpangler. "Ndiyabulela kakhulu ilali yabantu endincedileyo ukuba ndifike kule ndawo ndikuyo namhlanje."

Ngelixa amava akhe obuntwana ayenzakalisa, uSpangler uthi ukugula kwakhe okusondeleyo kuye kwamnceda ukuba amisele injongo yakhe yobomi-into athi ngekhe ayithengise ngehlabathi. "Ndiyibonile indlela abanye abantu abachaphazeleke ngayo yi-sepsis-ngamanye amaxesha baphulukana nemilenze kwaye bangaphindi babenakho ukusebenza, okanye baphulukane nokuqonda kwabo," utshilo. "Eso sizathu esikhulu sokuba ndigqibe kwelokuba ndiye kwezamayeza ukuzama ukudala uhlobo lwekamva lakhe wonke umntu ondincedileyo ukuba ndifike apha."

Namhlanje, kwiminyaka engama-25 ubudala, u-Spangler ungummeli wemfundo ye-sepsis kunye nokwazisa kwaye kutshanje uphumelele kwi-UNC School of Medicine. Uya kugqibezela ukuhlala kwakhe kunyango lwangaphakathi kunye nonyango lwabantwana kwiSibhedlele se-UNC-indawo enye eyamnceda ukusindisa ubomi bakhe kuyo yonke loo minyaka idlulileyo. "Luhlobo lokuza kwisangqa esipheleleyo, esihle kakhulu," utshilo.

Akukho mntu ukhuselekile kwi-sepsis, eyenza ukwazi kubaluleke kakhulu. Kungenxa yoko le nto iCDC inyuse inkxaso yayo kwiiprojekthi ezijolise kuthintelo lwe-sepsis kunye nokwamkelwa kwangethuba phakathi kwabanikezeli bezempilo, abaguli kunye neentsapho zabo.

UGqr. Miller uthi: “Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuyiqonda kwangethuba. "Ukuba ungenelela ngenkxaso efanelekileyo kunye ne-antibiotics ekujoliswe kuyo, kuya kunceda ukusindisa ubomi baloo mntu."
