Lytic injection: composition, dosage, rules of use, pros and cons of use

Often, adults use different folk methods to bring down the temperature of the child. For example, grinding. These methods either give a small effect, or do not help. For this, you can take antipyretic drugs, for example, paracetamol, aspirin. But what if the child is not yet 3 years old? Then a lytic injection is needed. Its composition allows you to quickly improve the condition.

When is a temperature reduction required?

Pediatricians believe that temperatures up to 38 degrees should not be brought down, because the child easily tolerates it. You need to do this in the following situations:

1. The temperature rose above 39 degrees.
2. A baby under 3 years old has a temperature of more than 38 degrees.
3. There are breathing difficulties.
4. If earlier at an elevated temperature convulsions appeared.
5. Dehydration

Perform adults and lytic injection. Its composition is similar to that of children, it differs only in dosage, but it acts just as effectively. The main thing is to follow the simple rules of the procedure.

General information about lytic injection

This is an effective method that works smoothly not only on adults, but also on children. Ambulance staff use it when you need to quickly bring down the heat. The lytic injection includes 3 main components:

1. Analgin. Able to lower temperature. The drug is almost never used in the treatment of children, but nevertheless, analgin is included in the lytic mixture and some other means.
2. Diphenhydramine. It has a hypnotic sedative effect. With it, the effect of analgin is enhanced.
3. Papaverine. It is an antispasmodic, with it the smooth muscles of peripheral vessels and nerves relax, and the risk of seizures is reduced.

Such a mixture is used when neither syrups nor candles have the desired effect. The composition of the lytic injection from temperature for children is the same as in tablets. Both methods have a quick effect. The heat subsides after about 15 minutes. The mixture is administered once every 6 hours. It will take about a day to eliminate the heat.

Advantages and disadvantages

Lytic injection is effective for quickly lowering the temperature. After it, a relief is felt, since the heat is eliminated. Procedures can be performed for children and adults. Injections can be performed independently.

But it is important to consider side effects and contraindications. If the injection is not performed correctly, complications are likely. Therefore, it is necessary to learn how to perform them correctly.

Composition and dosage

What is part of a lytic injection? It consists of:

1. Analgin - 50%.
2. Diphenhydramine - 1%.
3. Papaverine - 0.1%.

The mixture is able to eliminate heat and pain without allergies. The composition of the lytic injection, although the same for children, differs in dosage depending on age. 0.1 ml of each component is added to each year of life. For example, if the child is 3 years old, then 0.3 ml of analgin, diphenhydramine and papaverine will be required. Injections are injected into the buttock. Keep in mind that this is an emergency method. Do not use it with every temperature increase.

For adults

What is the composition of the lytic mixture for adults for injections? Analgin, papaverine (2 ml each) and diphenhydramine (1 ml) are drawn into the syringe. Recruitment is performed in this order. If you inject yourself, then you can perform it on the front of the thigh, introducing a 4 cm needle.

The composition and dosage of lytic injection for adults have some differences from the children's version, but still the remedy works just as effectively. If after some time there is a fever, you should not repeat the injection, you need to call an ambulance or find a way to get advice and medical help.

What will happen if used incorrectly?

If you do not control the composition of the lytic injection and its use, then this leads to:

• harm to health;
• loss of body sensitivity to antipyretic drugs;
• weakening of immunity.

When you can not perform such injections?

The mixture cannot be used when:

• under the age of 6 months;
• the presence of abdominal pain;
• individual intolerance to the components of the product;
• trying for 4 hours before using a mixture of lowering the temperature with the help of analgin, diphenhydramine and papaverine.

Before using the composition of the lytic mixture from the temperature in the injections, you need to conduct an allergy test. This is easy to do: you need to take a few drops of the product, place them on the lower eyelid. If itching, redness does not occur within half an hour, a lytic mixture can be used.

Side effects

In order for the tool used to be effective, it is important for parents to remember that only 3 injections can be performed per day. Otherwise, side effects of the drug appear, expressed in the following consequences:

1. Irritation of the digestive system. With it, there is pain in the stomach after pills.
2. Inhibition, impaired coordination, if the mixture was injected.

The lytic mixture is a lifesaver at high temperature. But it is important to consider that the tool itself eliminates only the symptom of the disease, but is not able to treat the cause. Therefore, you need to call a doctor, indicating when and what medicines were given to the child.

Execution Rules

With a sudden increase in temperature in the child, parents can take an injection on their own. This skill is useful because there is not always time to visit treatment rooms. It is advisable to perform an injection into the muscles of the buttocks, since they lack important nerve endings and blood vessels. The procedure will be successful when the medicine is administered quickly and accurately. The skin of the child must be folded without stretching it.

At any age, injections are performed when the child lies belly down. This is a convenient position for an injection, because the muscles in this position are relaxed. There are a few simple rules to keep in mind:

1. Before and after administration of the drug, the injection site is treated with alcohol.
2. You need to use a disposable syringe, which after elimination must be thrown out.
3. The injection cycle should be divided into 2 buttocks.
4. There should be no air bubbles in the syringe. If they have arisen, they must be bailed out.

There are several rules for performing such an injection. Each ampoule of the product is treated with alcohol. In a syringe, you must alternately dial a solution of the drug: analgin, diphenhydramine, papaverine. In this case, the dosage should be taken into account. An injection is introduced into the upper outer quadrant of the buttocks by 2/3 of the needle. During the procedure, the needle must be held with the little finger so that it does not get stuck in the skin. The needle must be entered quickly, clearly, the solution should be entered slowly. After that, the needle is quickly removed.

Syringe

Three-component syringes are often used. Sometimes, during the injection, efforts must be made to move the syringe plunger. This will produce jerks that cause pain. The syringe must have a rubber seal that is mounted on the piston. This is necessary for its smooth movement, without jerks and painlessly.

A syringe for an injection of analgin should be chosen on the basis of simple rules:

1. It must be in an individual plastic cassette.
2. The cylinder should be transparent and include a black graduated scale.
3. It is important that there is no latex in the components.
4. The piston must be selected transparent, made of low pressure polyethylene.
5. The piston stroke will be smooth then if there is a sealing cuff including 2 rings. Between them should be a special lubricant.
6. It is necessary that there is a circlip that does not allow the piston to exit the cylinder.
7. The expiration date should be considered. Usually it is 5 years.

In pills

If a child experiences panic at the sight of a syringe and needle, then you should not perform such procedures. The lytic mixture may also be in tablets. The dosage should also be considered so that the remedy is sufficient for recovery.

It is necessary to mix ¼ parts of "Analgin", "No-shpy", "Suprastin". The medicine is administered orally with water. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the gastric mucosa, slow down the absorption of substances into the blood.

Thus, an analgin-based lytic injection may be a necessary measure. But still, the mixture has contraindications and side effects that you should be aware of. The correct dosage should also be considered.
