Ukuhamba ezindaweni eziphakeme sekuyinto ekhangayo kakhulu kubantu abafuna izinto ezintsha emhlabeni wonke, bedonswa ukukhanga kwesibhakabhaka esiluhlaza namafu amhlophe. Kodwa-ke, abaningi banenkinga efanayo - ukugula ezindaweni eziphakeme. Izimpawu ezifana nekhanda elibuhlungu, ukushaya kwenhliziyo, kanye nokuphelelwa umoya kungalimaza uhambo, kuyilapho izimo ezimbi zingase zikhule zibe yizimo ezisongela ukuphila njenge-pulmonary edema noma i-cerebral edema.
Kungani Sizizwa Singemnandi Lapho Sikhuphukela Emaphethelweni Aphezulu?
Izindawo eziphakeme kakhulu zibonakala ngomfutho ophansi womoya kanye nokuqukethwe komoya-mpilo okuphansi. Lapho befika, abantu balwa nokuntuleka komoya-mpilo owanele, okuholela ekwehleni kwamazinga omoya-mpilo egazini. Ngenxa yalokho, izitho ezibalulekile njengobuchopho nenhliziyo zingena esimweni sokuntuleka komoya-mpilo, okubangela izimpawu zokugula ezindaweni eziphakeme.
Kuyini Ukugula Okuphezulu?
Ukugula okuphakeme, okwaziwa nangokuthi ukugula kwezintaba okunamandla (AMS), kwenzeka lapho umzimba ungakwazi ukujwayela ngokushesha indawo enomfutho ophansi nomoya-mpilo ophansi etholakala ngaphezu kwamamitha angu-2,500. Izinga lokuvama kwabantu abangajwayeli ngaphambi kokungena kulezi zindawo eziphakeme lingafinyelela ku-50%-80%, kanye nengozi ephezulu nakakhulu kulabo abakhuphuka ngaphezu kwamamitha ayi-1,000 ngaphansi kwamahora angama-24. Izimpawu ezincane zifaka phakathi ikhanda elibuhlungu, ukuqina kwesifuba, ukuphefumula okufushane, ukukhathala, kanye nokungalali, okunganciphisa kakhulu ulwazi lwakho lokuhamba. Ukuntuleka kwe-hypoxia isikhathi eside kungaholela ezinkingeni ezinkulu ezifana ne-high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) kanye ne-high altitude cerebral edema (HACE), okuholela emiphumeleni yesikhathi eside ethinta inhliziyo kanye nesistimu yezinzwa.
Imbangela Eyinhloko: Umoya-mpilo Onganele
Ngaphansi kwezimo ezivamile, umoya esiwuphefumulayo uqukethe cishe u-21% we-oxygen. Kodwa-ke, ezindaweni eziphakeme ezingaba amamitha angu-3,000, nakuba umoya usahlanzekile, ingcindezi yomoya iyehla. Lokhu kunciphisa kusho ukuthi ukuphefumula ngakunye kuletha ama-molecule e-oxygen ambalwa; uma ungakwazi "ukuthwala" ama-molecule e-oxygen ayi-100 ezingeni lolwandle, angaba ngu-70 kuphela angagcwalisa amaphaphu akho endaweni ephakeme. Njengoba amazinga e-oxygen egazini ehla, amaseli emzimbeni wonke aqala "ukulamba," okuholela ekuguleni ezindaweni eziphakeme.
Isixazululo: Ukwelashwa Nge-Hyperbaric Oxygen
Ezimweni lapho ukungenisa umoya-mpilo okuvamile kungaphumeleli, ukwelashwa komoya-mpilo okwandayo (i-HBOT) kuvela njengomxhumanisi onamandla. Ngokungafani nokwelashwa komoya-mpilo okuvamile, okuncike ku-hemoglobin emangqamuzaneni abomvu egazi ukuze kuthuthwe umoya-mpilo, ukwelashwa komoya-mpilo okwandayo kuvumela umoya-mpilo ukuthi uncibilike ngqo eplasma yegazi. Le nqubo ivumela inani eliphezulu lomoya-mpilo ukuthi lifinyelele izicubu ezinesifo esingaba khona - empeleni kwandisa "ukunikezwa komoya-mpilo" futhi kulwisane nesifo esihlala ezindaweni eziphakeme ngempumelelo.
I-HBOT isebenza ngokubeka abantu egumbini elivaliwe lapho ingcindezi yemvelo ikhuphuka khona, okuvumela ukuhogela umoya-mpilo ogxilile. Le ndlela ayigcini nje ngokuphakamisa ukungena komoya-mpilo kodwa futhi ilingisa izimo ezitholakala ezindaweni eziphakeme, ilwa ngempumelelo nokuntuleka komoya-mpilo ophansi okuhlangana ezindaweni eziphakeme.
I-HBOT, noma i-Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, isebenza ngokubeka abantu ekamelweni elivaliwe lapho ingcindezi yemvelo ikhuphuka khona, okuvumela ukuhogela umoya-mpilo ogxilile. Le ndlela ayigcini nje ngokuphakamisa ukungena komoya-mpilo kodwa futhi ilingisa izimo ezitholakala ezindaweni eziphakeme, ilwa ngempumelelo nokuntuleka komoya-mpilo ophansi okuhlangana ezindaweni eziphakeme. Ukwelashwa kuzuzisa kakhulu ezimweni ezahlukene zezokwelapha, okuhlanganisa ubuthi be-carbon monoxide, isifo sokunciphisa ukucindezeleka, kanye namanxeba angapheli angapholi. Ngokwandisa amazinga omoya-mpilo egazini, i-HBOT ithuthukisa izinqubo zemvelo zokuphulukisa zomzimba, ikhuthaza ukwakheka kwemithambo yegazi emisha, futhi inegalelo ekunciphiseni ukuvuvukala.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kusiza ekulweni nezifo ngokudala indawo engcolile kakhulu, okwenza kube nzima kakhulu ngamagciwane angenawo umoya-mpilo ukuthi achume. Ezigulini ezilulamayo ekuhlinzweni noma ekulimaleni, kungasheshisa ukuphulukiswa kwezicubu ngokuzinikeza umoya-mpilo odingekayo ukuze zivuseleleke. Okuphawulekayo ukuthi abasubathi bahlola i-HBOT njengosizo lokululama ukunciphisa ukukhathala nokuthuthukisa ukusebenza ngokuthuthukisa ukulethwa komoya-mpilo emisipheni. Sekukonke, ukusetshenziswa kwe-Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy kubonisa izinzuzo eziningi, okwenza kube yindlela yokwelapha ebalulekile emikhakheni eyahlukene yezokwelapha, okuthuthukisa kokubili impilo yomzimba kanye nemiphumela yokululama kulabo ababhekene nezinselele ezahlukene zempilo.
Izicelo zeUkwelashwa Nge-Hyperbaric Oxygen Kwezindawo Eziphakeme
Kungani ukwelashwa nge-hyperbaric oxygen therapy kungenakufakwa esikhundleni?
1. Ukulungiswa okusheshayo kwe-hypoxia kanye nokwehla kwengcindezi yemithambo yamaphaphu
Ukuphakama okuphezulu kuholela ekucindezelweni okuphansi komoya kanye ne-hypoxia, okubangela ukuminyana kwemithambo yamaphaphu kanye nokwenyuka okukhulu komfutho wegazi wamaphaphu - okufana nokucindezela ipayipi, okubangela ukukhukhumala kwendawo kanye nokucindezela okwandisiwe, okuphoqa uketshezi ukuphuma emthanjeni. I-hyperbaric oxygen ikhulisa kakhulu umoya-mpilo oncibilikisiwe egazini, iqeda ngokushesha ukuqaqamba kwemithambo yegazi futhi yehlise umfutho wegazi wamaphaphu, ngaleyo ndlela ivimbele ukuvuza koketshezi ku-alveoli emthonjeni.
2. Ukuvinjelwa kwezinto ezibangela ukuvuvukala kanye nokulungiswa kwesithiyo se-alveolar-capillary
I-Hypoxia ibangela izimpendulo zokuvuvukala, ilimaze amangqamuzana e-endothelial futhi idale "ukuvuza" phakathi kwamangqamuzana, okuvumela amaprotheni amaningi kanye noketshezi ukuthi kuphume. I-hyperbaric oxygen icindezela ukukhishwa kwezixhumi zokuvuvukala, inciphisa umonakalo we-capillary membrane, ikhuthaza ukuvalwa kwalokhu kuvuza, futhi ibuyisela ubuqotho bezithiyo.
3. Ukwandiswa kwama-aquaporin ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuhlanzwa koketshezi olusebenzayo lwe-alveolar
I-alveoli evamile inekhono elingaphakathi lokususa uketshezi oluningi, ithembele kumaprotheni afana nama-aquaporin asebenza “njengezimpompi zokudonsa amanzi.” I-Hypoxia ezindaweni eziphakeme inciphisa ukuvezwa kwe-aquaporin-5, iphazamise lo mthamo wokukhipha amanzi. I-hyperbaric oxygen ikhulisa kakhulu ukuvezwa kwe-aquaporin, ithuthukisa ikhono le-alveolar epithelium lokumunca uketshezi lwe-edema futhi ivumele ukususwa okusheshayo koketshezi oluqongelelwe.
4. Ukusebenzisa indawo enomfutho ophezulu ukulwa nomfutho we-hydrostatic nokukhuthaza ukumuncwa kwe-edema
Ukwanda komfutho ozungezile kuphakamisa ngqo umfutho wegesi ngaphakathi kwe-alveoli, kumelana nomfutho we-hydrostatic okhiqizwa yi-edema, ocindezela ngempumelelo i-alveoli ngaphakathi bese ucindezela uketshezi ezindaweni eziphakathi, lapho lungasuswa khona ngokujikeleza kwegazi. Lo mphumela ongokomzimba awunakufezwa ngokwelashwa nge-oxygen ejwayelekile.
Izinto Ezibalulekile Okufanele Uzicabangele
Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi ukwelashwa nge-hyperbaric oxygen akuyona indlela ejwayelekile yokwelapha kodwa kuyindlela yokwelapha eqondisiwe eyenzelwe izimo ezithile. Izindima zayo ezibalulekile ekubhekaneni nokugula ezindaweni eziphakeme zifaka:
Isiphetho
Ukuhlola izindawo eziphakeme kakhulu kumelela umzamo othakazelisayo futhi ongase uguqule, kodwa kudinga ukulungiselela okuqinile kanye nokuqonda okujulile kwezinselele zomzimba ezihlobene. Nakuba lezi zindawo ezimbi kakhulu zinikeza amathuba angenakuqhathaniswa okuthola, ziphinde zibe nezingozi ezinkulu empilweni yabantu ngenxa ye-hypobaric hypoxia.
I-pathophysiology ehlobene nokuphakama ivela enseleleni eyisisekelo yokunciphisa ingcindezi engaphelele ye-oxygen (PaO₂) ezindaweni eziphakeme, okuphazamisa izindlela ze-homeostatic futhi kungabangela izifo zezokwelapha ezisongela ukuphila. Ukwelashwa kwe-oxygen ye-hyperbaric kulungisa lo mgogodla we-etiological ngokuletha i-oxygen engu-100% ezingcindezini ezinkulu kunengcindezi yomoya, ngaleyo ndlela kwandisa ukuncibilika kwe-oxygen ku-plasma futhi kubuyisele i-oxygenation yezicubu. Ngenkathi i-HBOT ibonisa ukusebenza kahle ekungeneleleni okusheshayo, kufanele ibhekwe njengesithasiselo, esikhundleni sokufaka esikhundleni samasu okuvikela asekelwe ebufakazini okuhlanganisa ukujwayela kancane kancane, umswakama, kanye nokuvimbela imithi. Odokotela kumele benze ukuhlukaniswa okuphelele kwezingozi zangaphambi kokuhamba, futhi abagibeli kufanele bathole imfundo ephelele nge-physiology yokuphakama kanye nezinqubo zokuphendula eziphuthumayo ukuze kuthuthukiswe imiphumela ezindaweni eziphakeme.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ufuna ukwesekwa kwangaphambi kokuqala uhambo lwakho, ukubhekana nezimpawu eziphakathi nohambo, noma ukululama ngemva kohambo lwakho, i-HBOT efanele inganciphisa kakhulu umonakalo futhi yehlise izingozi zemiphumela emibi yesikhathi eside. Zihlomise ngalolu lwazi, uqinisekise ukuhlola okuphephile nokwanelisayo, futhi kwangathi lonke uhambo oluya emathafeni aphezulu lungahlangatshezwa ngokuthula kanye nenjabulo.
Ukufaka i-Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) ezinhlelweni zakho zokuhamba kungaba yinto eshintsha impilo yakho kanye nenhlalakahle yakho. Ukuzibandakanya ezindabeni eziphakeme kuvame ukuchaya abahambi ezingozini ezifana nokugulela ukuphakama, okungaholela ezinkingeni ezinkulu uma kungaxazululwanga kahle. Ngokuqonda izinzuzo ze-HBOT, abahambi bangaphatha ngenkuthalo izinkinga zezempilo ezingaba khona ezivela phakathi nohambo lwabo. Lokhu kwelashwa okuthuthukisiwe kuthuthukisa ukulethwa komoya-mpilo ezicutshini, ngaleyo ndlela kukhuthaze ukuphulukiswa futhi kunciphise ukuvuvukala.
Ngaphambi kohambo lwakho, cabanga ngokufuna i-HBOT ukuze ujwayele umzimba wakho futhi uthuthukise ukukhuthazela ngokomzimba. Uma uzwa izimpawu ezifana nekhanda elibuhlungu noma ukukhathala endaweni ephakeme, ukufinyelela ngokushesha ku-HBOT kungasiza ekululameni okusheshayo, okukuvumela ukuthi uqhubeke nokujabulela izindawo ezinhle ezikuzungezile. Ngemva kohambo, lokhu kwelashwa kusiza ekululameni, kusize ekubuyiseleni impilo ephelele futhi kulwisane nanoma yimiphi imiphumela eqhubekayo yokuchayeka ezindaweni eziphakeme.
Ekugcineni, ukubeka phambili ukunakekelwa kwezempilo nokuvimbela nge-HBOT akugcini nje ngokuthuthukisa ikhono lakho lokujabulela uhambo olude kodwa futhi kuqinisekisa ukuthi ubuyela ekhaya unamandla kunokuba uphelelwe amandla. Khumbula, ukuzihlomisa ngezinsiza nolwazi olufanele ngaphambi kokuqala uhambo lwakho kungashintsha okuhlangenwe nakho kwakho kube okugcwele injabulo nokwaneliseka.
