What harm does infusion do to the body

Infusion is a treatment method in Western medicine. When a person becomes ill, the drug is allowed to enter the blood directly through the infusion method, which can quickly cure the disease. However, it is also harmful to the body during the infusion, which is a recognized fact. After becoming ill, we try to use treatments that cause less harm to the body. Infusion is also a last resort for treatment. What harm does infusion do to the body?

1. Fever reaction

The introduction of pyrogenic substances, incomplete cleaning and sterilization of infusion bottles, or contamination can cause the patient to feel chills, shiver, and fever. In severe cases, the fever can reach 40 to 41 degrees Celsius.

2. Pulmonary edema

Because the infusion speed is too fast and too much fluid is infused in a short period of time, the circulating blood volume increases sharply, the heart is overloaded and causes edema, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. For patients with heart failure or a history of heart disease, rapid and large-volume infusion may aggravate heart failure and, in severe cases, induce pulmonary edema.

3. Phlebitis

Long-term infusion of highly concentrated and irritating drugs, or placement of highly irritating plastic tubes in veins for too long, can cause chemical inflammatory reactions in the local venous wall. Local venous infection can also occur due to lax aseptic operation during the infusion process.

4. Air embolism

The reason is that the air was not completely exhausted during the infusion and the rubber tube was not connected tightly and had leaks. As long as a small amount of air enters the vein, the patient will feel abnormal discomfort in the chest, followed by difficulty breathing, severe cyanosis and hypoxia, and may even lead to sudden death.

5. “Malignant” adverse drug reactions

Intravenous drips are also more likely to cause adverse drug reactions, especially allergic reactions, than oral medications. If taken orally, the impurities in the medicine that can cause allergies may be digested in the digestive tract or may not be absorbed by the body. However, when given through an IV, these impurities directly enter the bloodstream, and in severe cases can cause anaphylactic shock or even death. Recently, the media has frequently reported that patients died suddenly after using Chinese medicine injections. This was caused by this reason. The media also revealed that a hospital found black flocs in the infusion bottle. A doctor said, "Adverse drug reactions are ultimately caused by the drugs themselves, but intravenous infusion exacerbates these adverse reactions, which can lead to shock or even death in severe cases. The serious adverse reactions caused by "Xinfu" injection, Houttuynia injection, Acanthopanax injection, and Yinzhihuang injection are shocking and lingering pain.

According to statistics from the China Safe Injection Alliance, more than 390,000 people die from unsafe injections in my country each year. At present, in order to cheat money, some village clinics or hospitals have a serious problem of "giving intravenous drips to all diseases". Even for minor illnesses such as toothache, colds and flu, you need to get an IV drip. Expert surveys found that more than 95% of people are unaware of the dangers of abusing infusions and unsafe injections. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, more than 70% of infusions are unnecessary. The shocking abuse of intravenous infusions and irrational use of drugs have brought serious disasters to mankind.

Through the above introduction, we know what harm infusion can cause to the human body. In addition, we must also prevent allergies during infusion, which is also a situation that is extremely harmful to the human body, especially it may be fatal. In addition, when receiving infusion, we must go to a regular hospital, especially not to a small clinic.
