Ngo- 2019 ama-vapes bathole udumo lapho bexhunyaniswa nobhubhane lwe-EVALI. EVALI, isifo esibi samaphaphu saba ubhadane olukhulu e-United States, kodwa bekungekona okokuqala kubikwa ukuthi lesi sifo sibikwe kuleli. Lokhu kuqondane nokwenyuka okungakaze kubonwe kwentsha esebenzisa imikhiqizo ye-vaping. Ngo-2018 inhlolovo ikhombise intsha ebalelwa ezigidini eziyi-13 e-United States isebenzisa imikhiqizo yokuphefumula. Lokhu kumele cishe u-25% wentsha yakuleli.
Akuzange kuthathe isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuthi izifundo ziqale ukuxhumanisa ukuxilongwa kwe-EVALI eMelika nokushunqamuka. Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi iningi lalabo abahlukumezekile ngenxa yalokhu kulimala kwamaphaphu bebesebenzisa imikhiqizo yokuphefumula. Kepha njengoba ubhubhane luqala, abagxeki baqala ukungabaza ukuthi i-vaping yiyona nto edala ubhubhane. Lokhu kuholele kuworkshop ye-American Thoracic Society yango-2021 eyahlelelwa ukubheka izici ezinkulu ezibangela i-EVALI. I-workshop yahlelelwa ukufuna izimpendulo ezifanele kuyo yonke imibuzo ezungeze i-EVALI ukuvimbela ukuqubuka kwezifo esikhathini esizayo.
Ukuphathwa kwe-EVALI Izinyathelo Zezempilo Zomphakathi
Ongoti abebehambele lo mhlangano bafuna uhulumeni alungise incwadi yokubhalisa amacala ukuze abasize bafunde kabanzi nge-EVALI kanye nomthwalo wezifo ezihlobene nawo. Lokhu kubalulekile ukusiza ukuhlonza izingxenye zamakhemikhali kanye nokuguqulwa kwezinto eziphilayo okubangela lesi sifo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, bathi kunesidingo sezinhlelo zokufaka amakhodi ezizinikele ukuze zibhale ngokunembile yonke i-EVALI nezifo ezihlobene nayo ezweni. Lolu hlelo lokufaka amakhodi kufanele ludizayinelwe ukuqoqa ulwazi mayelana nezingxenye zomkhiqizo we-vaping.
Kulindeleke futhi ukuthi i-FDA isungule izindinganiso ezifanele zomkhiqizo futhi ilawule yonke imikhiqizo ye-nicotine ethengiswa ezweni. Lokhu kubalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi amakhemikhali ayingozi afana ne-VEA awatholi indlela yawo emikhiqizweni eshisayo edayiselwa umphakathi.
Ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuphepha kwe-vaping ezweni ohulumeni bamazwe kanye nohulumeni bezifunda kulindeleke ukuthi basungule izinhlaka zokulawula ukukhiqizwa nokusetshenziswa kwama-cannabinoids kanye nabanye ogwayi be-elekthronikhi. Lokhu kuzohambisana nemikhankaso eqhubekayo yokuqwashisa umphakathi ukuze kufundiswe umphakathi ngobungozi obuhambisana nemikhiqizo ye-vaping.
I-EVALI Management Clinical Initiatives
Ochwepheshe baphinde bathi kudingeka ukuqeqeshwa okwengeziwe emitholampilo ukuze kusizwe ochwepheshe bezempilo bahlole iziguli ngendlela efanele. Lena ukuphela kwendlela yokwenza kwenzeke ukuthi ochwepheshe bahlole kahle ukuchayeka kuma-causative agents afana nemikhiqizo yokufutha. Lokhu kuzophinde kwenze kutholakale ulwazi oludingekayo ukuze abacwaningi benze izifundo ngeziguli ze-EVALI ukuze bahlinzeke ngezinqubo zokwelapha ezingcono esikhathini esizayo.
Ukuvumelana kakade kuyadingeka ukuze kuchazwe i-EVALI. Kunesidingo futhi sokuvumelana ngokuthi izifo zitholwa kanjani kanye nawo wonke ama-algorithms okuphatha okwelapha okufanele asetshenziswe. Lokhu kusho ukuthi kunesidingo sokuthi iziqondiso ze-CDC zibuyekezwe.
Isiphetho
Iworkshop ye-EVALI ifuna ukuthi kuthathwe izinyathelo eziphuthumayo ukuze kusungulwe ukubhaliswa kwamacala kuzwelonke kwe-EVALI. Kunesidingo futhi sokuqhubeka kwemfundo yomphakathi mayelana nengozi yemikhiqizo ye-vaping. Kunesidingo futhi semfundo yochwepheshe bezempilo ngokuhlolelwa ukuchayeka kwe-vaping. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ucwaningo olwengeziwe luyadingeka ngezingozi ze-e-cigarettes. Konke lokhu kuzosiza ukuphatha amacala okuqubuka kwe-EVALI esikhathini esizayo.
