Ngokungafani nezifo eziningi ezithathelwanayo, ukugoma kwe- tetanus kuhlinzeka ngokuvikelwa hhayi ngokuphila, kodwa kuphela isikhathi esilinganiselwe (kuze kube yiminyaka engu-10), ngakho-ke akufanele kwenziwe kuphela izingane, kodwa nabantu abadala.
Ngabe imishanguzo ye-tetanus inikezwa abantu abadala?
Isikhathi sokugonywa kwengane ngokumelene ne-tetanus kumuntu siphelelwa yisikhathi eminyakeni engaba ngu-16. Ukuze kugcinwe isifo sokuzivikela njalo, kunconywa ukuba umgomo uphinde uphindwe njalo eminyakeni eyishumi. Kubalulekile nakakhulu kubantu abasengozini (isibonelo, labo abanobuchwepheshe babo obuhlobene nokuhlukunyezwa okwenyukayo), kanye nokulimala okungenabulungiswa, ama-punctures ajulile noma ukulunywa kwesilwane.
Abadala bathola kuphi isibhamu se-tetanus?
Umuthi kufanele ugonywe ngokuqinile emisipha. Kubantu abadala, umjovo uvame ukwenziwa ehlombe (kumsila we-deltoid) noma endaweni engaphansi kwe-scapula. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kungenzeka ukuyifaka engxenyeni engenhla yethanga. Ku-gluteus muscle yokugoma akukwenziwanga, ngoba ngenxa yesikhumba esincane esakhiwe ngamagciwane angaphansi kwamathuba okuphatha okungalungile komgomo ophezulu.
Ngegciwane lesandulela ngculaza, kanye nokugoma okuvikelayo uma kwenzeka ukuhlukunyezwa (uma ngaphezu kweminyaka engu-5, kodwa kungaphansi kweminyaka engu-10 kudlule ukugoma okuhleliwe), abadala bayagonywa ngokumelene ne-tetanus kanye.
Lapho igoma abantu ababengakaqotjelwa ngaphambili, izifundo ezigcwele ziqukethe ama-injection amathathu. Umthamo wesibili uhlinzeka emva kwezinsuku ezingu-30-35, kanti okwesithathu kwezinyanga eziyisithupha. Esikhathini esizayo, ukugcina igciwane lesandulela ngculaza, umjovo owodwa ukwanele eminyakeni eyishumi.
Ukuncintisana nemiphumela emibi yegciwane lesifo se-tetanus kubantu abadala
Ukugonywa akukwenziwa:
- ngezifo ezithathelisayo ( eczema , diathesis, njll);
- nge-asthma ye-bronchial;
- ezifweni ezithathelwanayo nezifo nanoma yisiphi isifo esingapheli esigabeni sesimo esiphuthumayo;
- nge-immunodeficiency.
Ngokuvamile, ukugoma i-tetanus kuhle kakhulu
- izimo eziphikisayo;
- ukuthuthukiswa kwe-abscess endaweni yomjovo;
- ukunxanxathela, ukuhlanza, izifo zesibalo;
- i-tachycardia ne-arrhythmia;
- ukuphazamiseka komjikelezo wesisindo;
- izimo zokuphazamiseka (okungajwayelekile).
Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinsuku zokuqala emva kokugoma, kungase kube nokwanda kwezinga lokushisa, ubuthakathaka obuvamile, ubuhlungu obuhlangene, ukucasula nokukhwabanisa isikhumba.
