Abstract

17 years old male patient admitted to the emergency room of our hospital for unconsciousness, nausea, vomiting, and seizures story. During follow-up orotracheal intubation was performed because of respiratory arrest. At that time there were not any significant findings and the taken computed tomography were normal. There were not any diseases at the patient's history. After identifying positive high levels of methamphetamine in the urine, another detailed patient history taken from patient's parents. Assuming the patient's problem as being methamphetamine intoxication, the related threatment was given accordingly. In the control CTwhich was taken on the third day after admission (CTimage); there were findings in favor of brain edema such as cerebral sulcus deletions. We began treating patient with sodium thiopental infusion, hyperventilation, mannitol, dexamethasone, took patient's head to the optimal position and began to phenytoin therapy for the control of seizures. Mechanical ventilation support was terminated and the patient was extubated during the 16th day of the treatment as laboratory findings got normal and the patient showed th adequate clinical improvement. He was discharged with healing from ICU on the 30 day.

Özet

17 yaşında erkek hasta hastanemiz acil servisine bilinç kapalı, şiddetli bulantı kusma, nöbet geçirme hikayesi ile başvurdu. Takipleri sırasında solunum arresti olan hastaya orotrakeal entübasyon uygulandı. Hastaya takip eden zamanda çekilen beyin tomografisinde anlamlı bir bulguya rastlanamadı ve normal olarak değerlendirildi. Hastanın özgeçmişinde herhangibir hastalık öyküsü bulunamadı. İdrarda metamfetamin düzeyinin yüksek pozitif olarak tespit edilmesi sonrasında, aileden tekrar detaylı anamnez alındı. Hasta metamfetamin intoksikasyonu kabul edilerek tedavisine devam edildi. Hastaya tedavisinin üçüncü gününde çekilen kontrol tomografisinde serebral sulkuslarda silinme ile seyreden beyin ödemi lehine bulgulara rastlanması üzerine Sodyum tiyopental infüzyonu, hiperventilasyon, mannitol, deksametazon ve başın optimal pozisyona alınması ve nöbetlerin kontrolü amacıyla fenitoin tedavisine başlandı. Hastanın tedavisinin 16 gününde laboratuvar bulgularının normale dönmesi sonrasında yeterli klinik düzelme sağlanarak mekanik ventilasyon desteği sonlandırılarak ekstübe edildi. Takiplerinde yoğun bakım tedavisi endikasyonu kalmayan hasta tedavisinin 30. gününde taburcu edildi.
