Ukubuka konke

I-Antifreeze iwuketshezi oluvimbela i-radiator ezimotweni ekuqandeni noma ekushiseni ngokweqile. Kuyaziwa nangokuthi i-engine coolant. Yize isuselwa emanzini, i-antifreeze iqukethe neziphuzo ezinamanzi ezinjenge-ethylene glycol, i-propylene glycol, ne-methanol.

I-Propylene glycol nayo iyisithako kokunye ukudla nezimonyo. Akubhekwa njengokulimaza ngamanani amancane, ngokusho kwe-Agency for Toxic Substances and Registry Registry (ATSDR).

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-ethylene glycol ne-methanol ziyingozi futhi zinobuthi uma zifakwa.

Kuthatha kuphela inani elincane le-antifreeze ukufaka ushevu emzimbeni womuntu futhi kubangele izinkinga ezisongela impilo.

Kunezincazelo ezahlukahlukene zokuthi kungani omunye umuntu angafaka i-antifreeze. Esinye isizathu ukuzilimaza ngamabomu. Kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi uphuze ngephutha ikhemikhali. Lokhu kungenzeka lapho i-antifreeze ithelwa engilazini noma kolunye uhlobo lwesitsha sesiphuzo bese iphutha njengesiphuzo. Njengoba kunikezwe lokhu kungenzeka, kubalulekile ukubona izimpawu zobuthi obubulala iqhwa.

Ziyini izimpawu?

Ubuthi be-Antifreeze bungenzeka kancane kancane emahoreni amaningana, ngakho-ke ungahle ungabi nezimpawu ngokushesha ngemuva kokufaka ikhemikhali. Uma uzizwa ukahle, ungaze ususe lesi sehlakalo njengokuthile nje okuseduze. Kodwa isimo asilula kanjalo.

Njengoba umzimba wakho umunca noma uhlanganisa i-antifreeze, ikhemikhali liguqulwa libe ezinye izinto ezinobuthi njenge:

• glycolaldehyde
• i-glycolic acid
• i-glyoxylic acid
• i-acetone
• i-formaldehyde

Umzimba wakho uqala ukusabela kancane ku-antifreeze ohlelweni lwakho. Isikhathi esisithathayo sokuthi uphawu lokuqala luvele luyahlukahluka. Kuya ngenani eligwinyiwe.

Izimpawu zokuqala zingakhula imizuzu engama-30 kuye emahoreni ayi-12 ngemuva kokungeniswa, kanti izimpawu ezinzima kakhulu ziqala cishe ngamahora ayi-12 ngemuva kokungeniswa, ngokusho kwe-ATSDR. Izimpawu zakuqala zobuthi obubulala iqhwa zingafaka umuzwa ophuzile. Ezinye izimpawu zokuqala zifaka:

• ikhanda
• ukukhathala
• ukuntuleka kokuxhumana
• grogginess
• inkulumo engahambi kahle
• isicanucanu
• ukuhlanza

Njengoba umzimba wakho uqhubeka nokudiliza i-antifreeze emahoreni ambalwa alandelayo, ikhemikhali lingaphazamisa ukusebenza kwezinso zakho, amaphaphu, ubuchopho kanye nohlelo lwezinzwa. Ukulimala komzimba kungavela emahoreni angama-24 kuye kwangama-72 ngemuva kokungeniswa.

Ungase futhi uthuthukise:

• ukuphefumula okusheshayo
• ukungakwazi ukuchama
• ukushaya kwenhliziyo okusheshayo
• ukudlikizela

Kungenzeka ukuthi ulahlekelwe ukwazi bese uwela ku-coma.

Ungaluthola nini usizo

Thola usizo ngokushesha uma wena noma omunye umuntu efaka i-antifreeze. Akunandaba ukuthi bekuyimali encane kuphela. Uma uthola usizo ngokushesha, umphumela uba ngcono.

Uma uzizwa uphilile futhi ungenaso isiqiniseko sokuthi uphuze i-antifreeze, ungashayela i-Poison Control bese ukhuluma nochwepheshe wobuthi ukuze uthole eminye imiyalelo. Inombolo yamahhala kazwelonke e-United States ingu-800-222-1222.

Kepha uma uqinisekile ukuthi udle i-antifreeze noma ukhombisa izimpawu zobuthi obubulala iqhwa, shayela u-911 ngokushesha.

Ukuvimbela ukuzibulala

Uma ucabanga ukuthi othile usengozini ngokushesha yokuzilimaza noma ukulimaza omunye umuntu:

• Shayela ku-911 noma inombolo yakho ephuthumayo yasendaweni.
• Hlala nalo muntu kuze kufike usizo.
• Susa noma yiziphi izibhamu, imimese, imishanguzo, noma ezinye izinto ezingadala ingozi.
• Lalela, kodwa ungahluleli, uphikise, usongele, noma umemeze.

Uma wena noma omunye umuntu omaziyo ecabanga ukuzibulala, thola usizo enhlekeleleni noma ku-hotline yokuvimbela ukuzibulala. Zama i-National Suicide Prevention Lifeline ku-800-273-8255.

Yini ukwelashwa?

Lapho usufikile esibhedlela, tshela udokotela:

• okufakile
• isikhathi osigwinyile
• inani olifakile

Isibhedlela sizosibhekisisa isimo sakho. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi i-antifreeze ingathinta izingxenye ezahlukene zomzimba wakho. Udokotela noma umhlengikazi angahlola umfutho wegazi, ukushisa komzimba, izinga lokuphefumula, nokushaya kwenhliziyo yakho. Bangase benze izivivinyo ezahlukahlukene ukubheka izinga lamakhemikhali egazini lakho nasekusebenzeni komzimba wakho. Lezi zivivinyo zingafaka:

• ukuhlolwa kwegazi
• ukuhlolwa komchamo
• X-ray esifubeni
• I-CT scan ukuthola izithombe zobuchopho bakho
• i-electrocardiogram, elinganisa umsebenzi kagesi enhliziyweni yakho

Uma ngabe udle i-antifreeze, udokotela wakho uzoqala ukwelashwa noma ngabe ungakhombisi izimpawu noma ukhombisa izimpawu ezimnene kuphela.

I-antidote ulayini wokuqala wokwelashwa kobuthi obubulala iqhwa. Lokhu kufaka phakathi i-fomepizole (Antizol) noma i-ethanol. Zombili lezi zidakamizwa zingaguqula imiphumela yobuthi futhi zivimbele ezinye izinkinga, njengokulimala komzimba ngokuphelele.

Noma i-fomepizole ingaguqula imiphumela cishe emahoreni amathathu, i-ethanol iyindlela esebenzayo lapho i-fomepizole ingatholakali. Isibhedlela singahlinzeka lo muthi ngemithambo, noma nge-IV.

Uma ungalutholi usizo olusheshayo, ubuthi be-antifreeze bunganciphisa ukusebenza kwezinso, kubangele ukungakwazi ukuchama noma ukukhipha umchamo ophansi. Endabeni yokungasebenzi kahle kwezinso, ukwelashwa kwakho kungahle kube ne-dialysis.

I-Dialysis kulapho uxhunywe emshinini ohlunga igazi lakho futhi asuse ubuthi egazini lakho. Ngokuya ngezinga lokulimala kwezinso, i-dialysis ingaba ukwelashwa kwesikhashana noma okuhlala njalo. Uma kungokwesikhashana, kungathatha izinyanga ezimbili ukuthola ukusebenza kwezinso.

Uma futhi uhlangabezana nobunzima bokuphefumula ngenxa yobuthi obukhulu, isibhedlela singakuphathisa i-oxygen therapy noma sikuhlalise bese sifaka ishubhu lokuphefumula phansi komlomo wakho emqaleni.

Amathiphu okuvimbela

Ngoba i-antifreeze inambitheka kamnandi, ukungenisa ngengozi kungenzeka. Nawa amathiphu ambalwa wokuvikela ukugcina wena nomndeni wakho - kufaka phakathi izilwane ezifuywayo - niphephile:

• Musa ukuthela i-antifreeze emabhodleleni amanzi noma ezinye iziqukathi. Gcina ikhemikhali esitsheni sayo sokuqala.
• Uma uchitha i-antifreeze ngenkathi usebenza emotweni yakho, hlanza ukuchitheka bese ufafaza indawo ngamanzi. Lokhu kungavimbela izilwane ezifuywayo ekuphuzeni uketshezi.
• Njalo buyisela ikepisi ezitsheni ze-antifreeze. Gcina ikhemikhali lingafinyeleleki ezinganeni nasezifuyweni.
• Njengendlela yokuqapha, ungaphuzi noma yisiphi isiphuzo ongasazi. Ungalokothi wamukele iziphuzo kumuntu ongamazi.

Uyini umbono?

Ngokungenelela kwangaphambi kwesikhathi, imithi kungenzeka iguqule imiphumela yobuthi. Ukwelashwa kungavimbela ukwehluleka kwezinso, ukulimala kobuchopho, nokunye ukulimala okungapheli emaphashini noma enhliziyweni yakho. Uma ishiywe ingalashwa, ubuthi obunzima bokubulala iqhwa bungabulala kungakapheli amahora angama-24 kuye kwangama-36.

Khumbula, kuthatha amahora ambalwa kuphela ukuthi izimpawu ezinkulu zivele. Ungalibali ukwelashwa.
