Problems to pay attention to in infusion:
Infusion should go to a regular medical institution, because infusion requires certain sanitary conditions and environment, if infusion in other places, there are some unsafe factors.
The infusion should stay in the infusion room, do not go outside the infusion room by yourself, and leave the supervision of the medical staff. Just in case the liquid oozes out or the liquid drips out, it cannot be treated in time, which may cause some undesirable consequences. In particular, some drugs may cause adverse reactions, which can be life-threatening if not handled in time.
The infusion process requires strict aseptic operation. The doctor’s hands are disinfected. After a bottle of liquid is infused, if you need to change the bottle for infusion, non-professionals should not change it, because if it is not done well, in case air enters, Add some unnecessary trouble; if a handful of bacteria is brought into the liquid, the consequences will be disastrous.
During the infusion process, do not adjust the drip rate by yourself. The infusion speed adjusted by the medical staff during the infusion of the patient is generally determined by comprehensive consideration of the patient's condition, age, and drug requirements. Because some drugs need to be dripped slowly, if they are dripped too fast, it will not only affect the efficacy, but also increase the burden on the heart, and severely cause heart failure, acute pulmonary edema, etc.
If small bubbles are found in the skin tube during the infusion process, it means that air has entered. Don't be nervous, just ask the professional to deal with the air inside in time.
After the needle is pulled out after the infusion, the sterile cotton ball should be pressed slightly above the puncture point to stop the bleeding for 3 to 5 minutes. Do not press too hard to avoid pain.
