E mōhio ana koe ki tēnei wheua tauhou kei raro i tō uma? Me ako tātou mōna (Te Tukanga Xiphoid).

Kua pā atu koe ki tētahi wheua iti, koi i te pūtake o tō rara, te wāhi e tūtaki ai ō rara? Ko ētahi e pā ana ki tēnei mea he puku iti. Ko te nuinga o te tangata kāore e mōhio ana ki tēnei mea, kāore hoki e whakaaro he ingoa tōna. I tēnei rā ka kōrero tātou mō tēnei wāhanga iti engari he mea nui o tō tātou tinana, e kiia nei ko te Tukanga Xiphoid i roto i ngā kupu hauora.

He aha te Tukanga Xiphoid?

I te whakarapopototanga, ko te tukanga xiphoid te wheua papatahi kei waenganui o tō uma, te wāhanga iti, koi kei raro o te sternum . Ko te pito raro o te sternum, he rite te āhua ki te reta T. I ētahi wā ka karangatia e ngā tākuta ko te 'xiphoid sternum'.

I roto i te rongoā, ko te 'tukanga' he wahi kiko e puta mai ana i tētahi wāhanga nui o te tinana. Nō reira i tapaina ai tēnei mea nā te mea e puta mai ana i raro i tō tātou sternum.

He aha te hiranga o tēnei i roto i te CPR?

He mea tino nui tēnei. Ina whakahaerehia te CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) , he maimoatanga ohorere e hoatu ana ki te tangata kua ngaro te māramatanga, ka whakamahia tēnei tukanga xiphoid hei tohu hei kimi i te wāhi tika hei pēhi i te uma.

Whakaarohia me hoatu e koe he CPR ki tētahi. Me whakatakoto ō ringaringa tetahi ki runga i tetahi ki waenganui o te uma. Anei me pēhea te kimi i te wāhi tika:

1. Whakamahia ō maihao ki te toro atu ki waenganui o te uma o te tangata.

2. Ka rongo koe i te mutunga o te mārō o te wheua uma, arā, te wāhi kei reira te tukanga xiphoid.

3. Me whakatakoto ō ringaringa kia rua ngā maihao te whānui ki runga ake i taua wāhi, kātahi ka tīmata te pēhi i te uma.

Mā te mōhio tika ki tēnei tohu ka āwhina i te ārai i te kino o te tukanga xiphoid i te wā e pēhia ana te uma, nā te mea ki te pēhi kaha rawa i te wāhi hē ka whati tēnei wheua iti, ka kino hoki ngā whekau o roto.

He aha te painga o tēnei mea mō ō tātou tinana?

Ahakoa he wahi iti, he maha ngā mahi nui e mahia ana e ia i roto i ō tātou tinana. Ko te mea nui, ka tiakina e ia ētahi o ngā okana tino tairongo o tō tātou uma. He punga anō hoki e piri ai ngā uaua ki reira.

Kei hea tēnei kei reira? He aha te āhua?

Hei whakamārama tika, kei waenganui o tō uma, i raro noa iho i te tūtakitanga o ō rara. Kei runga tonu i te diaphragm. I roto i te pakeke, he 1-2 inihi (2-5 henimita) te roa.

Mō te āhua o tēnei, he rite te koi o te nuinga ki te pito o te pene. Engari kāore i te katoa. He porotaka te pito o ētahi. Ko ētahi he paku piko ki te taha kotahi, kaua ki raro.

He wheua, he kiriuhi rānei te tukanga xiphoid?

Ko te whakautu ki tēnei pātai e whakawhirinaki ana ki tō tau, nā te mea ka rerekē tēnei wāhanga i te tau.

• I te whānautanga: Ina whānau mai he pēpi, ko tōna tukanga xiphoid he mea hanga katoa ki te kiripaka , he kiko ngāwari e rite ana ki te mea i roto i ō tātou taringa me te pito o tō tātou ihu.

• I te pakeketanga: Ahakoa he wheua katoa tēnei i te nuinga o te tangata, tera pea ētahi tāngata kāore i tino hangaia kia tae rā anō ki te 60 tau te pakeke.

Kāore he mōrearea hauora mō tēnei puhoi o te hanganga wheua. He mea noa, he mea ā-taiao. E kore rawa koe e rongo i tēnei āhuatanga, ki te kore koe e pāngia e te aituā, ā, ka tangohia he hihi-X.

He aha ngā mate e pā ana ki tēnei wāhanga?

I te nuinga o te wā, ki te mamae koe, ki te pupuhi rānei i te rohe kei reira tō tukanga xiphoid, ko te take he nui ake te tūponotanga he raruraru ki ngā kiko, wheua, uaua rānei e karapoti ana i te raruraru ki te tukanga xiphoid tonu.

Tērā tētahi āhuatanga e kīia ana ko te 'Xiphoid process syndrome', ka pupuhi, ka mamae hoki tēnei wāhi. Engari he tino onge. Ko te nuinga o te wā, ka puta te mamae o tēnei wāhi i ngā āhuatanga i raro nei.

He aha ngā maimoatanga mō ēnei mamae e pā ana?

Ka whakatauhia te maimoatanga i muri i te whakatau a te tākuta i te pūtake o tō mamae. Ka rerekē te maimoatanga i runga i te pūtake.

• Tērā pea ka kīia atu ki a koe kia okioki , kia mutu hoki te mahi taumaha, te whakakori tinana rānei mō tētahi wā .
• Ka taea te hoatu i ngā rongoā mamae pēnei i te NSAID (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) hei whakaiti i te mamae me te pupuhi.
• Mena he take nui te take, pērā i te whati wheua, me whai maimoatanga motuhake.

Engari kia maumahara, me tīmata noa i runga i te tohutohu a tō tākuta te whakamahi i ēnei maimoatanga. Mā te tango rongoā i a koe anō ka kino ake te raruraru.

Ka taea e tātou te ora me te kore te tukanga xiphoid?

Āe, e taea ana. Ahakoa e tautoko ana te tukanga xiphoid i ngā uaua o tō tātou tinana, ehara i te mea he okana nui e kore e taea e tātou te ora me te kore. E kīia ana ēnei wāhanga o te tinana he hanganga toenga e ngā tākuta.

I te whakarapopototanga, ko tōna tikanga he wāhanga o te tinana i tino whai hua i mua i roto i tō tātou whanaketanga, ā, ināianei kāore he mahi tūturu. Nō reira, ka taea e tātou te noho noa me te kore taua mea.

Mena ka whati tēnei wāhanga i roto i tētahi aituā, ā, kei te tūpono ka kino ngā whekau o roto (pērā i te ngākau me ngā pukahukahu) i ngā wahi whati, ka whakatau pea ngā tākuta ki te tango i tēnei wāhanga mā te pokanga.

Nō reira, kāore pea koe i mōhio kei a koe tēnei wāhanga o tō tinana tae noa ki tō panuitanga i tēnei tuhinga. Engari ināianei kua mōhio koe ka āwhina puku tēnei wahi wheua iti ki te tiaki i tō tātou tinana me te mahi i ō tātou uaua.
