How many people have periodic paralysis?

First, there are 5 million people with periodic paralysis. For example, when the attack of hypokalemic periodic paralysis occurs, adults take potassium chloride orally or nasally. The patients with respiratory muscle paralysis should be given artificial respiration, sputum suction and oxygen in time. Patients with arrhythmia can be given 10% potassium chloride, insulin and 5% glucose by intravenous drip. But digitalis drugs are forbidden. The treatment of intermission: attack more frequent, long-term oral potassium chloride, take every night before going to bed. Patients with hyperthyroidism or adrenal cortical masses should be treated with corresponding drugs or surgery. It is necessary to be aware that some patients still have arrhythmia, difficult treatment, and sudden death due to ventricular tachycardia. At ordinary times should avoid overwork, oversaturation, cold and other incentives.

Second: the mild attack of hyperkalemic periodic paralysis usually does not need treatment, and the more severe attack can be selected: ① 10% calcium gluconate or calcium chloride 10-20ml intravenous injection. ② Add 10-20u insulin into 500ml 10% glucose solution for intravenous drip. ③ 4% sodium bicarbonate solution for intravenous drip. ④ Hydrochlorothiazide or furosemide potassium excretion therapy. During the intermission period, the intake of potassium should be controlled, mainly from the easily neglected sources of potassium, such as potassium penicillin and stored blood for more than one week. They usually eat a high salt and carbohydrate diet.

Third: normal blood potassium periodic paralysis attack period can use normal saline or 5% glucose saline intravenous drip, and try to take salt, take row potassium sodium drugs such as acetazolamide or glucocorticoid. But excessive excretion of potassium can change from this type to hypokalemic periodic paralysis, which should be paid attention to. Usually should take high salt and high sugar diet, frequent attacks can be appropriate to take row potassium sodium drugs, in order to prevent or reduce its attack.

matters needing attention

It can be seen from the above that in order to effectively treat periodic paralysis, people need to adopt the correct method. Generally speaking, in the treatment of periodic paralysis, the method recommended in this paper needs more consideration of patients.
