Pandemic influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses, which, if not treated in a timely manner, can cause multiple complications that seriously threaten the health and even life of patients. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of influenza complications is crucial.
1. Pneumonia: Influenza viruses can directly attack the lungs and cause viral pneumonia; it can also cause bacterial pneumonia as a result of reduced immune capacity and subsequent bacterial infections. Patients often show signs of high fever, increased coughing and respiratory difficulties. 2. Heart damage: May cause cardiac inflammation, cardiac encephalitis, etc. Patients can show signs of panic, chest pain, short-temperature and low strength, which can cause heart failure in serious cases. 3. Symptoms of the nervous system, such as encephalitis, meningitis, etc., can cause headaches, vomiting, convulsions, cognitive disorders and serious damage to the functioning of the nervous system. 4. Inflammation syndrome of mysitis and transective muscles: In the form of muscle pain, pressure, incapacitation, acute kidney failure due to dissolving of transective muscles when severe. 1. Inoculation against influenza: this is the most effective means of preventing influenza and its complications. Influenza vaccine stimulates the body to produce antibodies, reduces the risk of infection with influenza viruses and reduces the likelihood of complications. Vaccination is carried out every year before the onset of the influenza season, especially for those at risk, such as the elderly, children, pregnant women and persons with chronic basic diseases. 2. Increased immunity: maintenance of a balanced diet, ingestion of foods rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals, such as skinny meat, fish, fresh vegetables and fruits; moderate exercise, with a minimum of 150 minutes of aerobics per week, such as run-off, jogging, etc.; and adequate sleep for the restoration of organs of the body and normal functioning of the immune system. 3. Attention to personal hygiene: hand-washing, use of soap and mobile water, thorough cleaning of hands in accordance with the correct method of hand-washing, effective removal of the virus from hand; covering mouths and noses with paper towels when coughing or sneezing, avoiding the spread of the virus by foam; and avoiding access to densely populated, air-discretioned sites, if necessary, wearing masks. 4. Segregation and protection: Influenza patients should live in isolation, avoid close contact with others and prevent the transmission of the virus. If a family member has an influenza patient, other members of the family should be careful to protect and disinfect the items used by the patient.
Treatment for complications should be addressed in a timely manner in the event of influenza complications. 1. Drug treatment for different complications – Pneumonia: For viral pneumonia, treatment is mainly provided with antiviral drugs, such as Ostave, with support for the treatment of aerobics, coughs and thorium; bacterial pneumonia requires the use of sensitive antibiotics such as penicillin and head fungus, based on pathogens. – Heart damage: bed rest is required to improve myocardial metabolism, which may require the use of vascular active drugs to maintain the heart function in serious cases, with the application of trophic myocardial drugs, such as an enzyme Q10 and sodium phosphate. – Complications of the nervous system: dehydration of cranial pressure, antivirus, anti-infection treatment, etc., depending on the condition, and the use of sugar-coated hormones to mitigate inflammation response, if necessary. – Inflammation syndrome of mysitis and transective muscles: active rehydration, maintenance of water, electrolytic balance, promotion of myoglobin discharge, prevention of acute kidney failure, appropriate use of alkaline urine medicine. 2. Support for treatment, including supplementary nutrition, maintenance of water and electrolyte balance, and correction of the acid imbalance, is particularly important for patients who are seriously ill and infirm. For example, in cases of dehydration due to fever, vomiting and diarrhoea, IVS should be timely. Rehabilitation treatment: Some patients with complications may have some functional impairments, such as physical and motor impairments following neurological complications, if they have stabilized, and require rehabilitation treatment, including physiotherapy, rehabilitation training, etc., to promote functional recovery and improve the quality of life.
The management of influenza complications requires a comprehensive and multifaceted approach. By reducing the risk of complications through prevention, timely and effective treatment can significantly improve the patient ‘ s prognosis, reduce the health risks of the disease and guarantee the patient ‘ s safety and quality of life.
