I-asthma ngezinye izikhathi ingabangela ukuphelelwa umoya okungazelelwe. Kodwa bewazi ukuthi kukhona idivayisi encane ongayisebenzisa ekhaya engakunikeza isixwayiso ngaphambi kokuba ibe yimbi kakhulu? Yilokho esikubiza ngokuthi i-Peak Flow Meter. Kufana nomngane omncane ongaqapha impilo yamaphaphu akho. Ngakho ake sixoxe ngakho konke namuhla.
Kalula nje, iyini le Peak Flow Meter?
I-Peak Flow Meter iyithuluzi elincane ongalibamba ngesandla sakho. Lilinganisa ukuthi umoya ongakanani ongaphoqeleka ukuphuma emaphashini akho uma uphefumula ngokujulile kanzima nangokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka. Lesi silinganiso sisibiza ngokuthi 'Peak Flow'.
Cabanga nje, uma i-bronchi (izindlela zomoya) emaphashini akho (esizibiza ngokuthi "i-bronchi" ngokwezokwelapha) iqala ukuncipha kancane ngenxa ye-asthma, kuzoba nzima ngawe ukuphefumula kanzima, akunjalo? Khona-ke ijubane lomoya ophumayo nalo lizoncipha. Yilowo umehluko otholwa yileli mitha. Inani laleli mitha lingancipha ngisho nangaphambi kokuba uzizwe izimpawu ze-asthma (njengokuphefumula, ukuqina kwesifuba) . Leyo inzuzo enkulu yalokhu.
Lezi ziza ngezinhlobo ezimbili: ezenziwe ngesandla nezedijithali. Ezenziwe ngesandla zinophawu oluncane lokukhombisa inani. Ezedijithali zibonisa inani ngqo esikrinini.
Uyisebenzisa kanjani kahle le nto?
Kulula kakhulu ukuyisebenzisa. Kodwa kufanele ukwenze kahle. Landela lezi zinyathelo.
1. Yima noma uhlale uqonde: Kulula kancane ukwenza lokhu umile. Phefumula kakhulu. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukwenza kanjani, kwenze ngendlela efanayo nsuku zonke.
2. Lungisa imitha: Letha uphawu olusemitha lube yi-zero. Okusho ukuthi, ludinga ukulethwa ekuqaleni.
3. Phefumula ngokujulile: Phefumula ngokujulile ngangokunokwenzeka. Phefumula ngokujulile, hhayi esifubeni sakho kuphela, kodwa nasesiswini sakho. Bamba umoya wakho isikhashana.
4. Faka emlonyeni: Faka umlomo wemitha emlonyeni wakho bese uwuvala ngokuqinile ngezindebe zakho. Akukho moya ongaphuma.
5. Vuthela ngamandla: Manje vuthela wonke umoya emaphashini akho ngesikhathi esisodwa, ngamandla nangokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka . Hhayi njengokucima ikhandlela, kodwa kakhulu.
6. Bhala inani: Manje bheka ukuthi inkomba ima kuphi. Bhala lelo nani encwadini.
Into ebalulekile ukuthi, ukwenza lokhu kanye akwanele. Udinga ukukwenza kathathu. Inani eliphakeme kakhulu ozothola kulezo zikhathi ezintathu lizoba inani lakho le-Peak Flow lalolo suku.
Bhala le nombolo phansi kudayari yakho ye-asthma, ikhalenda, noma ucingo. Kungumqondo omuhle futhi ukubhala okulandelayo:
- Izimpawu owawunazo ngaleso sikhathi (isib. ukukhathala, ukuqina kwesifuba, ukukhwehlela).
- Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi wathatha i-inhaler yakho yokutakula (njenge-inhaler eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka) noma omunye umuthi ophuthumayo ngaleso sikhathi.
Ngingayithola kanjani imiphumela yami ethi 'I-Personal Best'?
I-'Personal Best' iwukufunda okuphezulu kakhulu ongakuthola usebenzisa le mitha amasonto amabili, lapho i-asthma yakho ilawulwa kahle futhi uphilile ngaphandle kwezimpawu. Lokhu kufundwa kwakho okuyisisekelo. Siqhathanisa zonke ezinye izifundo nalokhu kufundwa 'Personal Best'.
Ukuze uthole lokhu, yenza lokhu:
- Kala i-Peak Flow yakho kabili ngosuku (ngesikhathi esifanayo ekuseni nakusihlwa) amasonto amabili.
- Yenza lokhu ngaphambi kokusebenzisa i-inhaler yakho (kodwa kuphela uma udokotela wakho ekuyalele ngenye indlela).
- Amaphuzu aphezulu kakhulu owatholayo ekupheleni kwamasonto amabili 'yi-Personal Best' yakho.
Uma usulitholile leli nani, sebenzisa imitha nsuku zonke njengoba kuqondiswe udokotela wakho. Ngale ndlela, uzokwazi ukubona ngokushesha ngisho nezinguquko ezincane endleleni yakho yokuphefumula.
Indlela 'Yokukhanya Kwethrafikhi': Ngiziqonda kanjani izindinganiso zami?
Ukuze kube lula ukuqonda amanani akho e-Peak Flow, odokotela basebenzisa uhlelo 'lokukhanya kwethrafikhi'. Lunezindawo ezintathu: oluhlaza okotshani, ophuzi, nobomvu.
Lezi zindawo zincike enanini lakho 'Lomuntu Ongcono Kakhulu'. Ake sithi i-Personal Best yakho ingu-400 L/min (iyunithi yamamitha). Khona-ke izindawo zakho zizoba kanje:
| Indawo | % Wokuhle Komuntu Siqu | Incazelo |
|---|---|---|
| Indawo Eluhlaza | 80% - 100% | Kuhle! I-asthma yakho ilawulwa kahle. Sebenzisa umuthi njengoba uyalelwe udokotela wakho. (Isibonelo: 320-400 L/min) |
| Indawo Ephuzi | 50% - 80% | Qaphela! Izindlela zakho zokuphefumula ziyancipha. Isifuba sakho se-asthma singase singalawuleki. Sebenzisa i-inhaler yakho yokutakula njengoba kuqondiswe ku-'Asthma Action Plan' kadokotela wakho. (isb. 200-320 L/min) |
| Indawo Ebomvu | Ngaphansi kuka-50% | Kudingeka usizo lwezokwelapha ngokushesha! Lesi yisimo esibucayi. Sebenzisa i-inhaler yakho yokutakula ngokushesha, shayela udokotela wakho noma uye esibhedlela esiseduze noMnyango Wezimo Eziphuthumayo (ETU). (isib. ngaphansi kuka-200 L/min) |
Ingabe kukhona inani elijwayelekile le-Peak Flow?
Akukho ngempela indinganiso "efana nosayizi owodwa". Indinganiso yakho incike eminyakeni yakho, ubude, nokuthi ungowesilisa noma owesifazane . Amadoda, abantu abade, kanye nabantu abasebasha bavame ukuba nezindinganiso eziphakeme. Yingakho kubalulekile ukuthola 'Okuhle Kakhulu' kwakho bese usetha amazinga ngokusekelwe kulokho. Udokotela wakho uzokuchazela lokhu ngemininingwane eminingi.
Ingabe kukhona ingozi ekusebenziseni lokhu?
I-Peak Flow Meter iyithuluzi eliphephile kakhulu. Kodwa ngezinye izikhathi izinto ezincane zingenzeka. Akukho okufanele ukhathazeke ngakho, kodwa kuhle ukuqaphela.
- Ukuphefumula okujulile kungabangela ukuthi uzizwe unesizungu (presyncope).
- Mhlawumbe kuzovela ukukhwehlela.
- Uma ungaphefumuli ngokujulile noma ungakhiphi umoya ngamandla, ukufundwa kungase kungabi yiphutha.
Okubalulekile: Sebenzisa njalo uhlobo olufanayo lwe-Peak Flow Meter, njengoba izilinganiso zingahluka kancane phakathi kwezinhlobo ezahlukene.
Kufanele ngimbone nini udokotela?
- Uma inani lakho lise -Yellow Zone , thatha imithi yakho ngokushesha njengoba 'ku-Action Plan' yakho bese ukhuluma nodokotela wakho.
- Uma ufunda use -Red Zone , kuyisimo esiphuthumayo. Sebenzisa umuthi wokutakula ngokushesha bese ushayela udokotela wakho ucingo. Uma izimpawu zingathuthuki, iya eMnyangweni Wezimo Eziphuthumayo (ETU) oseduze ngokushesha.
I-peak flow meter iyithuluzi eliwusizo kakhulu kulabo abaphila ne-asthma. Ikuvumela ukuthi uqonde kangcono umzimba wakho futhi uthathe isinyathelo ngaphambi kokuba ube yinkinga enkulu.
Umlayezo Wokuya Nawe Ekhaya
- I-Peak Flow Meter iyithuluzi elilula elilinganisa isivinini sokukhishwa komoya emaphashini akho. Lokhu kungasiza ekutholeni i-asthma ngaphambi kokuba kuvele izimpawu.
- Ukuthola 'into engcono kakhulu' yakho kubaluleke kakhulu. Zonke ezinye izilinganiso zihlobene nakho.
- Qonda uhlelo 'lokukhanya kwethrafikhi' (izindawo eziluhlaza okotshani, eziphuzi, ezibomvu). Khuluma nodokotela wakho ngalokho okufanele ukwenze uma ungena endaweni ephuzi noma ebomvu bese usungula 'uHlelo Lokusebenza Lwe-Asthma'.
- Uma inani lakho lisendaweni ebomvu, kuyisimo esiphuthumayo. Thatha umuthi ngokushesha, bona udokotela, noma uye ku-ETU.
- Ukusebenzisa imitha efanayo ngesikhathi esifanayo, ngendlela efanayo, futhi nsuku zonke kuzoqinisekisa imiphumela enembile.
