The United States, researchers found that, H1N1 influenza A virus may cause the patient’s pulmonary vascular obstruction or other unusual conditions arise.
The researchers in the “American X-ray Science Journals,” published in two reports pointed out that doctors need to adopt X-ray and CT scan examination of patients to identify these unusual conditions.
U.S. National Institutes of Health Center for Health Clinic Dr. Mo Lula said: “The clinic staff must be able to identify high-risk group of patients where possible, so that appropriate tests can be given to patients with specific anti-viral treatment.”
National Institutes of Health cited an example of death was identified as an H1N1 influenza A patient’s middle-aged man, if the doctors noticed that his lung X films showed unusual circumstances, will be detected earlier. Mo Lula-led team used CT scans and found that the patient’s lungs with ground-glass (ground-glass opacities) This is a strange state. Although the patient’s condition is serious and fever, but the H1N1 influenza virus test result is negative, the doctor did not treat him as a stream of patients. The patient died five days after admission.
University of Michigan published in the same journal another article reported that CT scan showed severe influenza patients had better lung embolus (embolus). Embolization material will plug the lung blood vessels. A doctor to give patients as long as the anti-coagulant (Anticoagulant), will be able to save the patient’s life.
This is a research group led Forrest Gump Vaal doctor and his team members for the 66 patients with influenza A X-ray examination, of which 14 are ICU patients. Teams of the 15 patients, CT scans, 10 of them were patients in the intensive care unit. A result, they found that ICU patients, half of the lungs with embolization material.
