What will happen if 'air' accidentally enters the blood vessel during infusion? be clear
The advent of summer can be said to be a period when various bacteria and viruses are skyrocketing, especially when it is hot and cold, and greedy for cold, it is easy to have symptoms of cold and fever. In addition, it will bring discomfort and disease to the stomach and intestines. For those viral complications, simply taking a few pills may not relieve it and achieve healthy results.
In order to save the corresponding time, and to restore the body to health as soon as possible, most people will choose infusion to relieve. The most fearful thing during the infusion is that the air bubbles in the infusion management will enter our body, which will cause adverse situations. Some people even say that once the air in the infusion management enters the blood vessels, it will endanger life. Is this right?
So today we will come to understand, if air accidentally enters the blood vessel during infusion, what will happen to the body?
What will happen if "air" accidentally enters the blood vessel during infusion? be clear
If you do not enter the air in the infusion tube into the body during the infusion, part of the air will be absorbed, and the rest will follow the drug into the circulation, reach the heart, and eventually lead to pulmonary artery absorption. Although a very small part of the stuff will disperse into the capillaries, combine with hemoglobin and enter the alveoli, and be excreted with breathing, so it will not cause too much trouble.
If it is said that in a short period of time, the body has entered a large number of air bubbles, directly reaching the heart, and when the pulse is beating violently, the blood in the air is exchanged into a large number of air bubbles, and these bubbles are expelled from the body through the contraction of the heart, but this process Once blockage occurs in the blood vessel, the consequences can be imagined, not only causing the arterial blood to fail to run normally, but also sudden sudden death. This is because for the air cannon, the heart can barely pass a small amount out of the body, but if the amount is too much, it will cause blockage.
There is another thing that worries many people, that is , after the infusion, will the air enter our body?
It is definitely not an easy task if you want the veins to enter the air. Because there is a certain pressure in the veins, most people will choose to sit or lie flat during the infusion process, so that the body posture can be adjusted, and the venous power can reach the best state, even if there is gas entering the blood vessels, it will not, because they have no such an opportunity.
Here I would like to explain to you that although the venous blood vessels will not enter the air, in this case, the blood will flow back into the body. When the drug is injected into the body, the pressure is completely gone, and the pressure on the body is high. As the saying goes, the principle of water flowing down is to pass the blood in the blood vessels through the place where it is easy for the blood to flow away. If it is not stopped in time, then The consequences are also unimaginable.
This is why many doctors and nurses will repeatedly remind you of the situation and time of the infusion when they give you a hanging bottle, and they will also come to observe from time to time, especially after the infusion, they will also help the patient to unplug it in time. Even if the nurse or doctor doesn't have time, they can turn it off completely by adjusting the pressure switch to maintain normal pressure.
It can be seen that it is really important to pull out the needle after all the medicines are given. Therefore, after the infusion, you should find a nurse to pull out the needle in time, otherwise it may be occupied by air, which is called an air needle.
