Ucwaningo olwanyatheliswa yiVanderbilt University Medical Center ku-“Anesthesia and Analgesia” lubonise ukuthi ukopha ngemva kokuhlinzwa kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi kuholele ekufeni kune-thrombus ebangelwa ukuhlinzwa.

Abacwaningi basebenzise idatha evela kusizindalwazi seNational Surgical Quality Improvement Project se-American College of Surgeons cishe iminyaka eyi-15, kanye nobuchwepheshe obuthile obuthuthukisiwe bekhompyutha, ukuze baqhathanise ngqo ukufa kweziguli zaseMelika ngokopha ngemva kokuhlinzwa kanye ne-thrombosis okubangelwa ukuhlinzwa.

Imiphumela yocwaningo ikhombisa ukuthi ukopha kunezinga eliphezulu kakhulu lokufa elibangelwa yilesi sifo, okusho ukufa, noma ngabe ingozi yokufa ngemva kokuhlinzwa kwesiguli, ukuhlinzwa esikwenzayo, kanye nezinye izinkinga ezingase zenzeke ngemva kokuhlinzwa ilungisiwe. Isiphetho esifanayo sithi ukufa okubangelwa ukopha kuphakeme kune-thrombosis.

I-American Academy of Surgeons ilandelele ukuphuma kwegazi kudathabheyisi yayo amahora angama-72 ngemva kokuhlinzwa, futhi amahlule egazi alandelelwa zingakapheli izinsuku ezingama-30 ngemva kokuhlinzwa. Ukopha okuningi okuhlobene nokuhlinzwa ngokwako kuvame ukuba kusenesikhathi, ezinsukwini ezintathu zokuqala, futhi amahlule egazi, noma ngabe ahlobene nokuhlinzwa ngokwako, angathatha amasonto amaningana noma kuze kube yinyanga ukuthi kwenzeke.

Eminyakeni yamuva nje, ucwaningo nge-thrombosis belujulile kakhulu, futhi izinhlangano eziningi ezinkulu zikazwelonke zinikeze iziphakamiso zendlela engcono kakhulu yokwelapha nokuvimbela i-thrombosis yangemva kokuhlinzwa. Abantu benze umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu wokuphatha i-thrombus ngemva kokuhlinzwa ukuqinisekisa ukuthi noma ngabe i-thrombus iyenzeka, ngeke ibangele isiguli ukuba sife.

Kodwa ukopha kuseyinkinga ekhathazayo kakhulu ngemva kokuhlinzwa. Ngonyaka ngamunye wocwaningo, izinga lokufa elibangelwa ukopha ngaphambi nangemva kokuhlinzwa laliphezulu kakhulu kunelokugobhoza kwegazi. Lokhu kuphakamisa umbuzo obalulekile wokuthi kungani ukopha kuholela ekufeni okwengeziwe nokuthi ungaziphatha kanjani kangcono iziguli ukuze kuvinjelwe ukufa okuhlobene nokopha.

Ngokwezokwelapha, abacwaningi bavame ukukholelwa ukuthi ukopha kanye ne-thrombosis kuyinzuzo encintisanayo. Ngakho-ke, izinyathelo eziningi zokunciphisa ukopha zizokwandisa ingozi ye-thrombosis. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukwelashwa okuningi kwe-thrombosis kuzokwandisa ingozi yokopha.

Ukwelashwa kuncike emthonjeni wokopha, kodwa kungafaka phakathi ukubuyekeza nokuhlola kabusha noma ukushintsha ukuhlinzwa kokuqala, ukuhlinzeka ngemikhiqizo yegazi ukusiza ukuvimbela ukopha, kanye nemithi yokuvimbela ukopha ngemva kokuhlinzwa. Into ebaluleke kakhulu ukuba nethimba lochwepheshe abaziyo ukuthi lezi zinkinga zangemva kokuhlinzwa, ikakhulukazi ukopha, zidinga ukwelashwa ngobudlova obukhulu nini.
