intramuscular induration infection

Introduction

Introduction to intramuscular injection of induration The cause of intramuscular induration is due to frequent injections and repeated stimulation. After the drug is injected into the muscles, the acid is too strong, or the chemical stimulation of the drug itself causes the muscle fiber tissue to proliferate, the drug solution is partially retained, and cannot be absorbed quickly. Disinfection during operation is not strict, causing infection, which in turn forms a lump induration, secondary to local or systemic lesions. Patients may have local redness, pain, affecting upper and lower limb activities, fever, and aversion to cold. basic knowledge The proportion of sickness: 0.01% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: renal insufficiency, respiratory failure, myocarditis

Cause

Intramuscular induration infection etiology

Cause:

The cause of intramuscular induration is due to frequent injections and repeated stimulation. After the drug is injected into the muscles, the acid is too strong, or the chemical stimulation of the drug itself causes the muscle fiber tissue to proliferate, the drug solution is partially retained, and cannot be absorbed quickly. Disinfection during operation is not strict, causing infection, which in turn forms a lump induration, secondary to local or systemic lesions.

Prevention

Intramuscular induration infection prevention

(1) Choose a regular medical institution to ensure the sterility of the device.

(2) The oil must be injected intramuscularly.

(3) If there is no hard result after injection, the hot compress can be used appropriately.

(4) Avoid some muscle injections of irritating drugs, especially some Chinese herbal preparations, because the alcohol content of Chinese medicines can not reach a certain standard, which is easy to cause local muscle stimulation.

(5) Minimize the chance of intramuscular injection.

(6) Patients who must be treated with long-term intramuscular drugs must be replaced alternately.

(7) Avoid injections in areas with scars, induration, inflamed skin disease, old needles, blood stasis, and hematoma.

Complication

Intramuscular induration infection complications Complications, renal insufficiency, respiratory failure, myocarditis

This disease is a common complication of intramuscular injection. For severe cases of infection, or low body constitution, long-term use of immunosuppressive agents and other factors, the infection can spread, aggravate, and form sepsis. Pathogens can spread to other tissues and organs with the spread of blood, causing serious complications (such as high fever, renal insufficiency, liver dysfunction, respiratory failure, myocarditis, etc.) and even life-threatening.

Symptom

Intramuscular induration symptoms common symptoms aversion to cold skin diffuse redness local tenderness

The clinical manifestations of intramuscular induration infection are: local redness, pain, affecting upper and lower limb activities, fever, aversion to cold, severe deep purulent or local necrosis.

Examine

Examination of intramuscular induration infection

Generally only need to carry out general dermatological examination, get local redness, pain, affect upper and lower limb activities, fever, aversion to cold, severe cases of deep purulent or local necrosis and other clinical manifestations plus injection history can be diagnosed.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis and diagnosis of intramuscular induration

The characteristics of this disease are remarkable, the medical history is clear, the diagnosis is easy, and it is not necessary to distinguish it from other diseases.
