Are you afraid of getting an injection? Have you ever had a butt injection when you were pressed on the bed when you were a child? I believe everyone has had such an unbearable experience of looking back and laughing and crying. This was an indelible psychological shadow in childhood. Every time I got a butt injection, I always limped and even hurt for several days.
However, at that time, the cost of a "butt needle" was only a few dollars and the effect was very good. It was completely different from the fact that it took a few hundred to go to the hospital for several days to hang a "drunk bottle". So why is it basically difficult to encounter the "butt needle" that was so common in the past?
What is "butt needle"?
In medicine, the injections are mainly divided into five types: intradermal injection, subcutaneous injection, intramuscular injection, intravenous bolus injection and intravenous drip injection.
"Ass needle" is an injection method for intramuscular injection , and it is also the most common intramuscular injection method in the past. After the injection, almost half of the buttocks felt dull pain. Because the muscle tissue in the human buttocks is thick and the blood vessels are rich, which is conducive to the absorption of drugs, "stop injection" was once very common in the past. In the Republic of China-style movie "Evil Do Not Suppress Righteousness", the protagonist gave others the "old-free needle" through this method, which can be regarded as a very restored history.
Speaking of history, let’s first take a look at the growth process of the butt needle. The earliest records of intramuscular injections in may have occurred 500 years ago. In the late 19th century, intramuscular injections were recorded in detail. The doctor's level during this period became more and more mature, so the intramuscular injections at that time were usually performed by the doctor himself.
20th century, after the antibiotics were put into medical use, the nurse began to take over the intramuscular injection operation, until the injection work was completely taken over by the nurse. However, before the popularity of intramuscular injection, due to the lack of unified training and education for nurses, complications caused by improper injection methods are quite common. After unified training, the "butt needle" is basically performed by the nurse.
Careful people will find that in recent years, they have basically been intravenous infusion when they go to the hospital for injections, but there are fewer and fewer span injections, and they even disappear completely in daily life.
"butt needle" disappears reason
1. It is not "convenient" during injection, and it is not convenient after injection
"butt needle" is given. Everyone is acquainted with people and they all know that taking off part of their pants is still a bit embarrassing for most adults. Some children with strong self-esteem will even resist and hide from the doctor.
After the "butt needle" is applied, it will also be inconvenient to move. This is because of different drugs, operators' techniques, and the patient's physical condition. Everyone feels different after the "butt injection". Some people have mild pain symptoms, while others have severe pain and can't even walk.
2. The absorption efficiency and side effects of intramuscular injection drugs
The intramuscular injections belonging to "butt needle" all have the same characteristics. The drugs injected into the muscles will be quickly absorbed into the blood, avoiding the "first pass effect".
The so-called first pass effect is that when we take certain drugs orally, the drugs are metabolized by the intestinal mucosa and other organs before entering the blood when they pass through the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in a decrease in the efficacy of the drugs.
But "butt needle" also has disadvantages. If is thicker in , the absorption effect will slow down and worse. , and some people will have some side effects after getting the "butt needle", such as some lumps on their butts, etc.
3, the invention of modern new drugs
In the past, most of the butt needles were "reducing fever needles" and "anti-inflammatory needles".
With the advancement of the modern pharmaceutical industry, scientists have invented many oral medications for anti-inflammatory , and different medicines and doses can be selected for different symptoms according to different ages.
You may say, why didn’t it be oral at the beginning? This is because medicine was underdeveloped in the past, and due to various reasons such medicines, it cannot be made into stable oral medications, so it can only be treated through "butt needles".With the advancement of medicine, we now have better anti-inflammatory drugs and no longer rely on "butt needles" for treatment unilaterally.
4, "drum bottle" emerges
With the progress of the times, more and more types of drugs can be used, and many people have also developed a certain degree of resistance to drugs. Some drugs need to be increased in doses to play a role. and the dosage of "butt injection" is up to 4ml. If this requires more than ten milliliters of medicine, you must not get three injections in a row? I feel my butt hurt even if I think about it.
So under the influence of drug resistance, the "butt needle" can no longer meet the requirements, and this will inevitably be replaced by a brand new treatment method.
Therefore, the intravenous infusion method represented by the "drum" appears in people's field of vision. Intravenous infusion began in the 17th century. At the beginning, its function was only to replenish blood for patients with hemorrhagic patients, and later used to supplement saline for patients with cholera diarrhea and water loss.
20th century, Dr. Stanley Dudrick, the "father of parenteral nutrition" , found that high concentrations of glucose and protein can be used to treat postoperative nutritional deficiencies. It was then that the field of intravenous infusion made great progress.
What we call "drip bottle" is intravenous infusion, which is to directly inject the drug into the vein. The drug utilization rate of this method reaches 100%, and the dosage provided by intravenous infusion is also greatly improved compared with intramuscular injection.
In this way, "drip bottle" gradually replaced "butt needle", and more and more patients also asked for "drip bottle", and doctors are even more happy to use this
method with a larger profit method.
Follow the doctor's advice and use the correct treatment method
Although the "butt needle" seems to have disappeared in our daily life, intramuscular injection in the field of medicine is still an effective treatment method.
For example, the inactivated new crown vaccine we have injected in the past two years uses intramuscular . Unlike the "butt injection", the location of the new crown fire-fighting vaccine is deltoid on the upper side of the arm of , and most vaccines are vaccinated the same way; and some of the drugs that pregnant women often need to inject injected still need to be given "butt injection". How to treat
, whether to get a "drip bottle" or "butt needle" or use oral medication? The specific choice of treatment methods should still be followed by the doctor's advice. Everyone has different conditions and physical constitutions. Choosing the most appropriate method is the right medicine to treat the disease.
