BLEEDING AS A NEGATIVE STATE OF ORGANISM

by Michael Collin

Bleeding is chiefly called the blood loss that occurs due to blood vessel disturbance. The vascular integrity may be compromised by trauma, purulent melting, hypertension and influence of toxins. Several changes in blood chemistry can also cause bleeding. It is provoked by a wide range of the sicknesses such as sepsis, cancer, scarlet fever, hemophilia, jaundice, scurvy, and different others. When the hemorrhage mostly occurs in the body cavity (peritoneal, pleural), it is called the internal bleeding. The hemorrhage into the tissue is chiefly well-known as a hematoma. If any cloth is soaked with blood, it is said about subcutaneous, intracerebral hemorrhage and so on.

What causes internal bleeding?

The internal bleeding can occur in patients with atherosclerosis, cancer, syphilis, heart disease, sepsis, and many others. Sometimes the cause of hemorrhage is a sharp increasing in blood pressure. The internal blood hemorrhage may occur in almost any organ of the human body or cavities. This may be the esophagus, stomach, rectum, bladder, kidneys, lungs, brain ventricles, pleural and abdominal cavity, and cranial joint cavity and several others. Very often there are cases of uterine bleeding by female individuals. The main general symptomatic picture of internal hemorrhage may be chiefly supplemented by specific symptoms. Thus, the general symptoms (subjective symptoms) of this type of bleeding are excessive thirst, dry mouth, weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath, pale skin, rapid pulse and hypotension.

The symptoms of bleeding also depend on the species and type of damaged vessels. Also, the hemorrhage indications may depend from the localization of the injury. For example, there are can be such symptoms of brain bleed as: the brain is compressed; there is tightness in the head, especially in the temporal part. The pleural hemorrhage (hemothorax) provokes some compression of the lungs, the appearance of shortness in breathing. The ruptures of the abdominal cavity causing congestion blood (hemoperitoneum) in it: a person has abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. The hemorrhage into the cavity of the heart membrane causes a decreasing in activity of the heart, cyanosis; venous pressure is mostly enlarged at the same time. The arterial bleeding occurs when the disturbances to the arteries (carotid, femoral, axillary and others.) It is the most dangerous, because the blood is thrown out by pulsating stream very quickly. The swift acute anemia comes; blood color – bright red. The victim becomes pale, his pulse is speeded up, blood pressure decreases rapidly, dizziness appears, nausea and vomiting, fainting also manifest. The death may be due to oxygen starvation or cardiac stopping.

The venous bleedings mainly occur in violation of the veins integrity. Blood flowing uniformly continuous stream and has a dark cherry color. If the intravenous pressure is not too high, the blood can spontaneously stop forming of fixed thrombus. The capillary hemorrhage is less dangerous and it may stop bleeding independently. The risk of capillary bleeding is only in illnesses that affect blood clotting (hemophilia, sepsis and hepatitis). The internal hemorrhage is always dangerous to life, for this reason, in the presence of bleeding symptoms should immediately seek medical help.

Hemorrhage treatment

As the cause of bleeding is different disorders, it is very important to timely treatment of all sicknesses and comply all recommendations of the physician. To avoiding of hemorrhage in various illnesses doctor may recommend the following groups of medicine for bleeding including

  • For high blood pressure medical cure connecting with various type of discomposures such as (Lasix, Atenolol, Clonidine, Hydrochlorothiazide, Coreg, Cozaar, Lotrel, Ranolazine, Serpina, Torsemide, Triamterene, Verapamil, Zestoretic, Tricor and different others);
  • For the treatment of some viral and infection sicknesses (such as tuberculosis, cystitis,diarrhea, hepatitis, sepsis, HIV and many others), which can generally provoke the hemorrhage beginning, the doctors usually prescribe various antibiotics or anti-inflammatory therapy such as (AugmentinBactrimNoroxin, Amoxil, Furadantin, Isoniazid, Macrobid and several others) and antiviral drugs (Didanosine, Darunavir, Combivirand some others);
  • For eliminating the problems related to women’s health such medicamental female preparations as (PremarinAygestin, Estrace, Levlenand some others) can probably help.

Also you need to take different vitamins or herbal supplements including (Becadexamin, Chyavanaprasha, Vitamin C, Gokshura, Kapikachhu, Neurobion Forte (B1+B6+B12), Punarnavaand many others) for preventing the bleedings and improving of immune system of every patient.

Although it is better to have always bandages, cotton wool, tow, individual dressing package and disinfectants in a home medicine chest, and private vehicles. Two important rules for the provision of pre-hospital care are do not harm human and act quickly, because in some cases, every minute is significant.

In order to correctly render first aid for bleeding, you need to:

  • Apply a tourniquet above the wound, if several arterial bleedings;
  • Use wads and bandages the wound below if venous hemorrhages;
  • Disinfect and bandage the wound if bleeding capillary;

– Place the person in a horizontal position, put to the place of the injured something cold (ice) and to deliver the patient to the hospital as soon as possible, if the bleeding parenchymatous or gastrointestinal.
