Inkantolo isithole singenacala isibhedlela esanquma umlenze wowesifazane

Owesifazane owanqunywa umlenze wesokudla ngenhla kwedolo ulahlekelwe yisicelo sakhe somthetho sokufuna amademeshe kuNgqongqoshe wezeMpilo eGauteng njengoba inkantolo ithole ukuthi isibhedlela sasingenabo ubudedengu nokuthi owesifazane waphuka umlenze ngenxa yokungajwayelekile kwemithambo yegazi. UNonyaniso Mntimba uphendukele eNkantolo eNkulu yaseGauteng, ePitoli, njengoba ethi unqunywe umlenze ngenxa yobudedengu bodokotela nabahlengikazi baseTambo Memorial Hospital eBoksburg.

UMntimba wadutshulwa ngomhlaka 26 disemba 2018, emilenzeni yomibili, walaliswa esibhedlela iTambo Memorial izinsuku ezinhlanu. Ngeshwa, ngesikhathi esesibhedlela, umlenze wakhe wesokudla ngenhla kwedolo wanqunywa. Udaba oluphambi kwenkantolo beluthi ngabe kukhona ubudedengu yini obenziwa ngabezempilo nabahlengikazi bakulesi sibhedlela ekumelapheni kwakhe.

Udokotela ohlinza imithambo – ogxile ekulimaleni kwemithambo nemithambo ngaphandle kwaleyo esenhliziyweni nasengqondweni – ufakazele yena ukuthi emanxebeni okudutshulwa, i-thrombosis ivame ukubangelwa i-barotrauma ebangele ukulimala ongqimbeni olubushelelezi lwangaphakathi lomkhumbi wegazi.Ngokusho kwakhe, ezinsukwini ezimbalwa uMntimba engeniswe esibhedlela, waphelelwa amandla emilenzeni okwalandelwa wukukhubazeka (ukungakwazi nokunyakaza).

Lokhu kwaholela kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi yi-ischemia. Uveze ukuthi uma ebhekene nalesi simo unesi bekumele abikele udokotela ozokwazi ukusitolika. Umhlengikazi uveze ukuthi uMntimba ubenezimpawu ze-ischemia, okuyisimo esimenza abe nezinhlungu nokuncipha nomuzwa. Ngokusho kwakhe abahlengikazi abebemphethe ngaleso sikhathi bekumele babikele udokotela ngokushesha njengoba kungudokotela kuphela okwaziyo ukuhlonza ukuthi une-ischemia.

Khonamanjalo, uProfessor wezokuhlinzwa ufakazele uMntimba ukuthi uma isibhedlela singakwazi ukwelapha isiguli kumele sidluliselwe kwesinye isikhathi isiguli. Uqhube wathi ngokubona kwakhe, ngenxa yokulimala kukammangali, kwakungamele angeniswe esibhedlela iTambo Memorial kunalokho bekufanele adluliselwe esibhedlela iCharlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Hospital. Uthe kubalulekile ukuthi abahlengikazi bafonele udokotela uma bebona ushintsho esimweni sesiguli.

Lapho kukhona ukulahlekelwa ukuzwa, i-fasciotomy yayingenziwa noma udade, u-matron, noma udokotela osemnyangweni wabalimele bekufanele aziswe, esho. Kwakuwumbono wakhe ukuthi ukube kube nokungenelela esigabeni sokulahlekelwa ukuzwa kwezitho, umlenze wommangali wawuzosindiswa. Kodwa udokotela ohlinza imithambo owethula ubufakazi egameni likaNgqongqoshe wezeMpilo utshele inkantolo ukuthi kunenqwaba yokuhlolwa okwenziwe esigulini ukuze kuhlolwe ukuthi isitho salo singakanani.
Ngokubona kwakhe, ukubambezeleka kokuhlinzwa ngenxa yokuphuka bekungeke kwenzeke kube nomthelela ekulahlekeni kwesitho.

Ochwepheshe baphikile ubufakazi bofakazi bochwepheshe bommangali bokuthi kunokugadwa okungalungile, ukurekhodwa okungalungile, nokwehluleka ukwenza izinguquko esimweni sommangali. Ngokusho kwakhe ummangali ubeqashwe ngeso lokhozi kwathi uma ekhononda kwabizwa udokotela. Ngokusho kwakhe, i-ischemia yaziveza okokuqala kummangali ngemuva kokuhlala cishe izinsuku ezine esibhedlela kanti iSibhedlela iTambo Memorial singenazo izipesheli ezidingekayo. Ngakho-ke, ngokushesha wadluliselwa kwesinye isibhedlela esikhulukazi esasingabhekana nesifo sokuqina kwemithambo yegazi kungazelelwe.

Yize ummeli emele uMntimba ethi abasebenzi basesibhedlela benza ubudedengu njengoba bengazange basukumele phezulu ukuze kunqandwe umlenze wakhe, ummeli kaNgqongqoshe uveze ukuthi uke waba nenkinga yemithambo yegazi okuyivelakancane futhi ebingalindelekile. Kwaphikiswana ngokuthi izisebenzi zezokwelapha zesibhedlela zenza konke ezazingakwenza; nokho, bavinjwa ukuntula izinsiza.

IJaji uDavid Makhoba liphawule ukuthi amarekhodi asesibhedlela asho ngqo ukuthi isimo sikaMntimba sabikwa kanjani futhi nini. Isimo sakhe saba sibi kungazelelwe kwathi lapho engasaluzwa unyawo lwakhe lwangakwesokudla nezinzwane zakhe zinganyakazi, kwabikelwa ngokushesha kudokotela owayemnakekela. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho kwahlelwa ukuba i-ambulensi imdlulisele kwesinye isibhedlela. “Ngokubona kwami, abahlengikazi bommangalelwa banikeze ummangali ukunakekelwa okudingekayo ngaphansi kwezimo ngokubheka isimo sakhe ngesikhathi esifanele,” kusho ijaji ngenkathi lenqaba isicelo sakhe
