Abstract

BACKGROUND Superficial corneal foreign bodies (SCFB) are common injuries seen in the ED. The aim of this study was to describe the eye injuries caused by FBs and to determine clinical strategies for the prevention and management of ocular trauma. METHODS This was a retrospective chart review of the previous two years. Demographic data, timing of the injury, injury type (open- or closed-globe injuries), source of the FB, hospital admission and ophthalmology consultation, treatments, and the long-term complications were recorded for each patient. RESULTS There were 476 patients, and 83% were male, with an average age of 34.16±14.02 years. 9.7% of the eyes had an open-globe injury, while the rest were closed-globe injuries with or without SCFB. The most common FBs were metal fragments (37.6%) and dust (31.1%). The majority of the patients (72.1%) sustained work-related injuries. 42.4% of the patients were consulted to ophthalmology, and the remaining were treated by the emergency physicians. Only 10% of the patients required hospitalization, and complications were seen in 2.3% of the patients. CONCLUSION Ocular FB involved mainly young healthy males who had sustained work-related injuries. In view of the large number of eye injuries seen in EDs, ED colleagues should train themselves in order to appropriately recognize, treat and refer the SCFB injuries seen in the ED.

Özet

AMAÇ Yüzeysel korneal yabancı cisimler acil servise sık başvuran olgulardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, acil servise yabancı cisimlerle oluşan göz travmasıyla başvuran olguları tanımlamak ve göz travmasının önlenmesi ve acil servis yönetim stratejilerini tartışmaktır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Çalışma geçmiş iki yılın kayıtları incelenerek geriye dönük olarak yapıldı. Demografik bilgiler, yaralanma zamanı, yaralanma tipi (açık veya kapalı glob yaralanması), yabancı cismin ne olduğu, hastane yatış ve oftalmoloji konsültasyonu varlığı, uygulanan tedaviler ve geç dönemde görülen kalıcı hasarlar kaydedildi. BULGULAR Toplam 476 hasta çalışmaya alındı, hastaların %83’ü erkekti, ortalama yaş 34,16±14,02 idi. Yaralanmaların %9,7’si açık glob yaralanması iken, kalanlar yüzeysel yabancı cisim bulunan veya bulunmayan kapalı yaralanmalardı. En sık görülen yabancı cisimler metal çapakları (%37,6) ve toz (%31,1) olarak saptandı. Hastaların çoğunda (%72,1) iş yerinde yaralanma söz konusuydu. Hastaların %42,4’ü oftalmoloji ile konsülte edilirken, diğer hastalar acil tıp asistan ve uzmanları tarafından tedavi edildi. Hastaların %10’u hastaneye yatırıldı ve %2,3’ünde uzun dönemde komplikasyon görüldü. SONUÇ Göz yabancı cisim travmaları en çok genç sağlıklı erkeklerin, iş nedenli yaralanmaları olarak oluşmaktadır. Çok sayıda göz travması acil servislerde görüldüğü için, acil servis hekimleri yüzeysel korneal yabancı cisimlerin tanınması, tedavisi ve yönetimi konusunda eğitilmelidir.
