Waspada Happy Hypoxia, Gejala Baru COVID-1

Waspada Happy Hypoxia, Gejala Baru COVID-1

14 September 2020 | MyProtection News Jakarta

Jakarta, 14 September - MyProtection News

Hi, Sahabat MyProtection!

Akhir-akhir ini mungkin Anda pernah mendengar happy hypoxia. Apa itu hypoxia dan apa hubungannya dengan COVID-19?

Dalam penelitian yang dilakukan Loyola University Health System, penderita COVID-19 yang memiliki gejala happy hypoxia memiliki kadar oksigen dalam tubuh yang sangat rendah, tetapi tidak mengalami dyspnea atau kesulitan bernafas. Dalam beberapa kasus, penderita COVID-19 bisa beraktivitas dengan normal. Padahal kadar oksigen yang sangat rendah bisa mengancam nyawa.

Hipoksemia sendiri bukanlah fenomena baru. Hipoksemia sendiri didefinisikan sebagai penurunan kadar oksigen dalam darah. Ketika kadar oksigen dalam darah sangat rendah, tubuh akan mengalami beberapa gejala fisik seperti sesak napas, pusing hingga pingsan, napas pendek dan cepat, denyut jantung lebih cepat, kulit pada ujung jari dan sekitar bibir membiru.

Namun, pada kasus happy hypoxia ini, penderita hampir tidak menunjukan gejala fisik apapun. Bahkan penderita bisa beaktivitas cukup normal. Hal ini lah yang menjadikan happy hypoxia berbahaya. Ketua Umum Persatuan Dokter Paru Indonesia (PDPI) Agus Dwi Susanto mengatakan bahwa penderita COVID-19 tanpa gejala umumnya tidak segera menerima penangan medis. Sehingga infeksi makin meluas dan kadar oksigen terus menurun. Sampai akhirnya penderita tiba-tiba merasa sesak napas tapi kadar oksigen dalam darah sudah terlalu rendah dan bisa menyebabkan kematian.

Deteksi Dini Happy Hypoxia

Juru Bicara Satgas Covid-19 RS UNS, Surakarta, Jawa Tengah, Tonang Dwi Ardyanto mengatakan terdapat dua langkah untuk mendeteksi dini gejala happy hypoxia.

  • Tarik napas dalam-dalam 2-3 kali.
  • Bila timbul rangsangan batuk, waspadai risiko hipoksia.
  • Menggunakan alat Pulse Oxymeter di ujung jari, untuk mengukur saturasi oksigen.
  • Keduanya dilakukan berkala, minimal pagi-siang-sore-malam.

Seperti yang disebutkan di atas, untuk mengecek kadar oksigen dalam darah secara lebih akurat, Anda harus menggunakan oxymeter atau oksimetri. Perhatikan apakah kadar oksigen dalam darah tetap wajar. Jika dalam pemeriksaan yang Anda lakukan, hasil pada alat oksimeter tersebut menunjukkan angka saturasi 95 ke atas, maka berarti Anda kemungkinan tidak mengalami hypoxemia atau hypoxia. Anda bisa membeli oksimeter sendiri atau melakukan pengecekan di rumah sakit.

Waspada Gejala COVID-19

Selain happy hypoxia, terdapat beberapa gejala umum COVID-19 menurut World Health Organization:

  • Demam
  • Batuk kering
  • Kelelahan
  • Kesulitan bernapas atau napas pendek
  • Nyeri pada bagian dada/tekanan pada dada
  • Kehilangan kemampuan berbicara atau bergerak

Beberapa orang juga mengalami gejala lain seperti;

  • Hidung tersumbat
  • Nyeri
  • Sakit kepala
  • Mata merah/konjungtivitis
  • Sakit tenggorokan
  • Kehilangan kemampuan penciuman atau merasakan makanan
  • Perubahan warna pada jari tangan dan kaki

Bagi individu yang mengalami gejala deman dan/atau batuk disertai kesulitan bernapas, napas pendek, nyeri dada/tekanan pada dada, atau kehilangan kemampuan berbicara atau bergerak harus segera menghubungi bantuan tenaga medis atau mengunjungi rumah sakit. Untuk bantuan dan penanganan COVID-19, silakan menghubungi Hotline COVID-19 di 119.

Kalau Anda tidak yakin kapan harus beribat ke dokter atau ingin berkonsultasi mengenai gejala yang Anda alami, asuransi kesehatan dari MyProtection memiliki fitur online doctor consultation. Sehingga Anda bisa berkonsultasi lewat ponsel dengan dokter pilihan.

Salam,
Sahabat MyProtection

8 Traffic Signs and Their Meanings You Must Know!

When driving on the road, traffic signs play a crucial role in keeping drivers and pedestrians safe and orderly.

These signs use various symbols, letters, and numbers to provide warnings, prohibitions, instructions, or directions that are easy to recognize for all road users.

In Indonesia, traffic signs are regulated under Minister of Transportation Regulation No. 13 of 2014, ensuring that all parties properly apply their functions.

To help you understand better, here are 7 traffic signs and their meanings that every driver should know!

8 Traffic Signs and Their Meanings You Must Know!

1. Stop Sign

rambu lalu lintas stop

The stop sign is one of the most common traffic signs, typically displayed with a red background and the word "STOP" at the top.

This sign indicates that drivers must come to a complete stop and are not allowed to proceed until the road is safe. The purpose is to prevent potential traffic conflicts or accidents.

2. No Entry

rambu lalu lintas dilarang masuk

A red circle with a horizontal white stripe symbolizes the No Entry sign. It indicates that vehicles or pedestrians are not allowed to enter a particular area.

However, certain exceptions may apply to authorized parties as specified by local regulations.

3. No Stopping

A white background with the letter "S" crossed by a red line is used to indicate that stopping is not allowed.

If you see this sign, it means you cannot stop your vehicle at all, even for a short moment. Violating this rule may result in a traffic ticket based on Indonesia’s traffic law.

4. No Parking

The No Parking sign is displayed as a large letter “P” with a red slash across it.

When this sign is placed on the road, it means vehicles cannot be parked or stopped in that area.

5. No Vehicles Allowed

This sign typically has a white background with a red border and a picture of a vehicle crossed out.

If the symbol depicts a car, motorcycle, or truck, it indicates that vehicles of that specific type are not permitted to pass through the road.

For example, heavy trucks are often prohibited from entering residential areas.

6. Sharp Turn Left or Right

The yellow triangle sign with a curved arrow warns drivers of a sharp turn, either to the left or right.

It serves as a reminder to slow down and drive carefully to avoid accidents. The signs are commonly found in hilly areas, mountain roads, or near residential zones.

7. Bridge Ahead

A blue rectangular sign with a bridge symbol indicates that there is a bridge ahead.

Drivers are advised to reduce their speed and stay alert, as not all bridges are large or in perfect condition. Some may even have specific load restrictions that vehicles must follow.

8. Steep Descent

The yellow triangular sign with a steep slope symbol warns drivers that a steep downhill road is coming.

Drivers should slow down and shift to a lower gear. This sign is usually found in mountainous or hilly regions. Before passing a steep descent, it’s essential to check your brakes to avoid brake failure.
