Characteristics of joints and risk of infection
The situation is more specific in the case of joint patients. On the one hand, there are many joint injuries caused by trauma, such as fractures and joints. In the course of the operation, the tissue around the joint was destroyed and bacteria were easily planted there. On the other hand, patients with their own immunological joints, such as rheumatism, are vulnerable to infection through the long-term use of immunosuppressants, reduced physical resistance and the risk of infection in the joints. Also, in cases of joint replacement, implants of prosthesis are foreign, which reduces local immunity protection and increases the risk of infection.
Common infections and pathogens in joints
Soft tissue infection around joints.
It is common for post-joined wounds to be infected, most of which are gland positives, such as yellow grapes and streptococcus. These bacteria can cause local swelling and pain, and serious injuries can lead to sepsis and healing difficulties. For example, abrasions or fractures around the knee joint may be infected by these bacteria if not properly treated.
Infection in the joint
This may occur after a joint replacement or a joint puncture. The pathogens are more diverse, including yellow and yellow fungus, skin fungus, and gelatinella, such as coli, copper and green hysteria. Infection within the joint can lead to increased joint pain, visible swelling and restricted activity, which seriously affects joint function. If infected after a hip replacement, the patient may become crippled or even unable to walk.
Basic principles for the use of antibiotics in joints
Preventive use
Preventive use of antibiotics is critical for people with joint surgery. In general, appropriate antibiotics are given between half an hour and two hours before the operation, so that there are sufficient drug concentrations in blood and tissue during the operation to prevent bacterial infections. For example, a generation of enzymes, such as head forests, are commonly used in joint replacement operations. At the same time, an additional dose is determined on the basis of the length of the operation, and an additional dose should be added to the operation if the operation is longer than 3 hours or if there is more haemorrhage.
Treatment
When a joint infection is diagnosed, antibiotics are selected according to the pathogen type and the drug-sensitive results. In the case of gland positive bacterial infections, the option is to use phenolicillin, chlorazilin, etc., and in the case of gland cactus infections, the use of three generations of cystacin, e.g., is considered. Joint use of antibiotics may be required for severe combination infections. Moreover, the treatment process is adequate and general joint infections require 4-6 weeks or even longer antibiotic treatment to ensure the complete elimination of pathogens. Special circumstances and concerns
Epidemics around the body.
The treatment of the infection around the prosthesis after the transfer of the joint is difficult. In addition to active use of antibiotics, there may be a need to remove prosthesis for initialization if suspected. During the use of antibiotics, medicines that can form effective antibacterial concentrations on the prosthesis surface and are effective for bacteria in the biofilms, such as the Lifuping Union of quinone-type drugs, are selected to have a better effect in some cases on the infection of grapes.
Chronic joint infections
Some chronic arthropod infections, such as tuberculosis arthritis, require long-term regulated treatment with anti-tuberculosis drugs. Attention should be paid to the adverse effects of drugs during the treatment process, such as amphibians, which could lead to peri-neural inflammation, and to the possible impact of Lifoppin on liver function, which needs to be monitored and addressed on a regular basis.
Monitoring and evaluation of antibiotics use
Clinical symptoms monitoring
Observe local changes in the joints, e.g., whether the swelling recedes, pain is reduced, joint activity is improved. If symptoms persist or are aggravated, the antibiotic treatment programme is adjusted in a timely manner.
Laboratory inspection
Inflammation indicators such as blood protocol, C-reaction protein, blood sedation, etc. are regularly examined. The rise in these indicators suggests that the infection may still exist or increase. For joint fluids, microbial culture and pharmacological testing are reviewed to understand the changes in pathogens. At the same time, for patients with long-term antibiotics, care should be taken to monitor indicators such as liver and kidney function and to avoid the physical damage caused by the adverse effects of the drug.
In general, the application of antibiotics in joints requires a comprehensive consideration of the patient ‘ s condition, type of infection, pathogen characteristics, etc., and strict regulation of their use in order to guarantee the recovery of the patient ‘ s joint function and reduce the occurrence of complications.
