What are the hazards of infusion to the human body

When you become ill, you must receive timely and effective treatment. Whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, you must first control the condition. Western medicine treatment mainly involves injections, infusions and medications. If the condition is serious, surgery can also be used for treatment. Among them, infusion is the most commonly used method of treating diseases. Many people worry that too much infusion will have a negative impact on the body. So what are the hazards of infusion to the human body? Let’s talk about it below.

1. Fever reaction: The introduction of pyrogenic substances, incomplete cleaning and sterilization of infusion bottles, or contamination can cause the patient to feel cold, shiver, and have a fever. In severe cases, the fever can reach 40 to 41 degrees Celsius. 2. Pulmonary edema is caused by excessive infusion speed. Too much fluid is infused in a short period of time, which causes a sharp increase in circulating blood volume and excessive burden on the heart, resulting in edema. In severe cases, it can be life-threatening. 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 irritating plastic tubes in veins for too long, can cause chemical inflammatory reactions in the local vein walls. It can also cause local vein infection due to lax aseptic operation during the infusion process. 4. The cause of air embolism is that the air is not completely discharged during infusion and the rubber tube is not tightly connected and has 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 more likely to cause adverse drug reactions than oral medications, especially allergic reactions. 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.

The hazards of infusion to the human body are mainly those introduced above. The side effects of Western medicine in treating diseases are relatively large. In this case, the length of treatment should be chosen based on the actual condition of the disease, so as to reduce the harm of drugs and treatments to the body. To ensure a healthier body.
