Abstract

Introduction: There has been an increase in the number of patients using home mechanical ventilator for suffering from chronic respiratory failure, due to the recent technological developments and increasing experience. The aim of this study is to determine the most common reasons for emergency admissions and treatments applied, and the most frequent reasons for hospitalization. Methods: Mechanical ventilator dependent children, who were admitted to the Ankara University Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences University Ankara Pediatric Health and Disease Hematology Oncology Training and Research Hospital Emergency Services between October 2014 and October 2015, were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Seventy-one patients were included in the study. The median age was 42 months and 40 of them (56.3%) were male. The mean duration of mechanical ventilation was 15.0 months. The most common complaint for being admitted to the emergency department was decreased oxygen saturation (14.1%); 17 patients (23.9%) were admitted to the emergency department due to nonemergent reasons. The median number of applications within one year was 3. Twenty-six patients (36.6%) were hospitalized. The most common reason for hospitalization was pneumonia (26.8%). When the resource usage was evaluated according to the five-step triage system, 97.1% of the patients used 2 or more resources in the emergency department. Conclusion: It was found that emergency department admissions and hospital resource usage were higher in the children who were followed with home mechanical ventilator. The reason for the increased number of emergency room admissions may be due to applications for non-urgent reasons.

Özet

Giriş: Son yıllardaki teknolojik gelişmeler ve artan deneyimlere bağlı olarak, süreğen solunum yetmezliğine bağlı ev tipi mekanik ventilatör kullanan hasta sayısında artış görülmüştür. Bu çalışmanın amacı ev tipi mekanik ventilatör ile izlenen çocukların acil servise en sık başvuru nedenlerini, acil serviste kalış sürelerini, çocuk acil biriminde yapılan girişimleri ve hastaneye en sık yatış nedenlerini belirlemektir. Yöntemler: Ankara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi ve Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi Ankara Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Hematoloji Onkoloji Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Çocuk Acil Kliniği’ne Ekim 2015 ve Ekim 2016 tarihleri arasında getirilmiş olan ve ev tipi mekanik ventilatör ile izlenen hastalar geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 71 hastanın ortanca yaşı 42 ay olup, 40’ı (%56,3) erkek cinsiyette idi. Mekanik ventilatör kullanım süresi ortancasının 15 ay olduğu belirlendi. Acil servise en sık başvuru yakınmasının oksijen saturasyonunda düşme (%14,1) olduğu, hastaların 17’sinin (%23,9) acil olmayan nedenler ile acil servise getirildikleri saptandı. Acil servise bir yıl içindeki başvuru sayı ortancasının 3 olduğu belirlendi. Hastaların 26’sının (%36,6) hastanede yatırılarak izlendiği, en sık yatış nedeninin pnömoni (%26,8) olduğu saptandı. Beş basamaklı hasta önceliklendirme sistemine göre kaynak kullanımı değerlendirildiğinde, hastaların %97,1’inin acil serviste 2 veya daha fazla kaynak kullandığı belirlendi. Sonuç: Ev tipi mekanik ventilatör ile izlenen çocukların acil servis başvuruları ve hastane kaynak kullanımının fazla olduğu saptanmıştır. Acil servis başvuru sayısının daha fazla olmasının nedeni, hastaların acil olmayan nedenler ile acil servis başvurularından kaynaklanıyor olabilir.
