UMashi uyiNyanga Yokuqwashisa Ngokulimala Kobuchopho futhi nakuba ukulimala okuthile ekhanda kungase kubonakale kuncane ekuqaleni, ukubona izimpawu zokulimala kwengqondo, nokwazi ukuthi kufanele uye nini emnyangweni wezimo eziphuthumayo, kungasindisa ukuphila, ngokusho kwe-American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). ).
"Ubuchopho buyisikhungo somyalo womzimba," kusho uGillian Schmitz, MD, FACEP, umongameli we-ACEP. “Enye yezindlela ezihlakaniphe kakhulu zokuyivikela iwukukwazi ukubona izimpawu zokulimala kobuchopho nokuya emnyangweni wezimo eziphuthumayo oseduze lapho udinga usizo lwezokwelapha.”
Ukulimala kobuchopho kuthinta abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-2.8 unyaka ngamunye, ngokusho kwe-Brain Injury Association of America, futhi bayimbangela ehamba phambili yokufa okuhlobene nokulimala. Ukulimala kobuchopho okubuhlungu (TBI) ukulimala kobuchopho okuphazamisa ukusebenza kobuchopho futhi uhlobo oluvame kakhulu lwe-TBI ukungqubuzana.
Ukungqubuzana kungabangelwa ukuwa, ukulimala kokuzijabulisa, ingozi yemoto, noma isigameko ekhaya. Ukungqubuzana kungase kuvame ikakhulukazi phakathi kwentsha ebamba iqhaza kwezemidlalo, kodwa lokhu kulimala akugcini kubasubathi noma izihambi. Ukuqhuqha, ukushaywa, noma ukunyakaziswa kwekhanda kungenzeka noma kuphi futhi kuthinte noma ubani kunoma iyiphi iminyaka. Funa usizo oluphuthumayo uma ubona noma yiziphi zalezi zimpawu zokulimala kanzima ekhanda:
• Ikhanda elibuhlungu elibhebhethekayo naphezu kwemithi ethengwayo
• Ubuthakathaka, ukuba ndikindiki, noma ukuncipha kokuxhumana
• Inkulumo engacacile, noma ukuhamba kahle
• Ukwanda kokudideka noma ukuyaluza
• Ukuhlanza okuphindaphindiwe
• Ukulahlekelwa ukwazi isikhathi esingaphezu komzuzu owodwa
• Osayizi babafundi abangalingani
• Ukudlikizela noma ukuquleka
• Izinguquko ezingavamile endleleni yokulala noma isimo sengqondo
Nakuba ezinye izimpawu zokungqubuzana zingase zibambezeleke amahora noma izinsuku, ukuziba izimpawu zokulimala kwengqondo kungabeka noma ubani engozini yezinkinga. Izimpawu zokudideka noma zokuphazamiseka kwengqondo cishe ziyizinkomba zokulimala ekhanda, futhi noma ubani obonakala engazinzile udinga ukunakekelwa ngokushesha. Ngengane noma nengane encane, funa usizo oluphuthumayo uma ingane:
• Ikhombisa noma yiziphi izimpawu zengozi ezisohlwini lwabantu abadala
• Akayeki ukukhala, wenqaba ukudla noma unesi, noma akaduduzeki
• Ibonisa ukukhukhumala endaweni ethambile engaphambili kwekhanda (kosana)
• Ibonisa noma iluphi uphawu lokulimala kogebhezi noma okungavamile, njengokulimaza esikhunjeni sekhanda noma indawo ecindezelekile lapho kwenzeke khona ukulimala.
Abanakekeli kufanele baqaphele ukuthi ukuhlanza kuvamile ezinganeni ezincane. Ukunakekelwa kwezokwelapha ngenxa yokulimala ekhanda okusoleka kungase kudingeke kuphela uma ingane ihlanza ngokuphindaphindiwe esikhathini esifushane (ngaphezu kokukodwa noma kabili phakathi nehora).
Phakathi nokuvakasha okuphuthumayo, udokotela angase ahlole ukuze ahlole ukucabanga, inkumbulo, nokugxilisa ingqondo. Ukuthwebula ubuchopho kungase kunconywe ukuhlola ukopha noma ukuvuvukala ogebhezini. Uma isiguli sesilungele ukubuyela ekhaya, udokotela uzochaza uhlelo lokululama oluhlanganisa ukuphumula ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo ngaphambi kokubuyela emuva emisebenzini yansuku zonke. Eminye imithi yokunciphisa igazi ihlotshaniswa nengozi eyengeziwe yokopha ebuchosheni ngemva kokulimala ekhanda.
"Izindlela ezimbili ezilula kunoma ubani ukuze agweme ukungqubuzana ukugqoka izinto zokuzivikela ngesikhathi sokuzilibazisa futhi asuse izingozi ezingabangela ukuwa ekhaya," kusho uDkt. Schmitz. “Ukulimala ekhanda kungase kubonakale kusabisa, kodwa iningi lincane—ukwelashwa ngokushesha okuvela kudokotela ophuthumayo kungenza umehluko.”
