Abstract

BACKGROUND We aimed to introduce inhalation injury, pulmonary complications and mortality-related factors on the basis of clinical, radiological and bronchoscopic findings in patients with inhalation burns. METHODS Between January 2009 and January 2010, patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a burn center who were diagnosed as inhalation burn and underwent bronchoscopy were included in the study. Demographic findings, burn type, burn percentage, clinical-laboratory features, chest Xray findings on the first and fifth days, and bronchoscopic lesions were obtained from patient files. Bronchoscopic findings were classified, and bronchoscopic score for each patient was calculated. Clinical, laboratory and radiological findings, length of stay in the ICU, and bronchoscopic scores of patients who were discharged versus of those who died were compared, and mortality-related factors were investigated. RESULTS Twenty-nine patients (25 male, 4 female; mean age 40.1±3.4 years) were included. Radiological abnormalities were found in 41.3% and 65.5% of patients on the first and fifth days of hospitalization, respectively. There were no complications related to bronchoscopy. Percentage of burn and duration of stay in the ICU were higher in patients who died than in discharged patients (20.4%-48.5%, p=0.003; mean: 7.0-13.7 days, p=0.037, respectively). Of patients who died, 79.1% showed radiological abnormality and 50% had acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on the fifth day of hospitalization. There were no pathologic findings on chest X-ray and no ARDS was seen on the fifth day in patients who were discharged (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Inhalation burns in patients with cutaneous burns cause a high percentage of pulmonary complications and increase mortality. Bronchoscopy must be performed early for diagnosis, and close follow-up of these patients is necessary.

Özet

AMAÇ İnhalasyon yanığı olgularında, klinik, radyolojik ve bronkoskopik bulgular temelinde inhalasyon hasarını, pulmoner komplikasyonları ve mortalite ile ilişkili faktörleri ortaya koymaktır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM 2009 Ocak-2010 Ocak tarihlerinde hastanemiz yanık merkezi yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan, bronkoskopi ile inhalasyon yanığı tanısı konulan olgular dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik bulguları, yanık şekli, yanık yüzdesi, klinik ve laboratuvar özellikleri, 1. ve 5. yatış günündeki akciğer grafisi bulguları ve bronkoskopik lezyon türleri dosyalarından elde edildi. Bronkoskopik bulgular sınıflandırıldı, her hastadaki bronkoskopik skor hesaplandı. Kaybedilen hastalar ile iyileşerek taburcu olan hastalardaki klinik, laboratuvar, radyolojik bulguların özellikleri ve sıklığı, yoğun bakımdaki yatış süresi, bronkoskopik skorlar birbirleriyle karşılaştırılarak mortalite ilişkili olabilecek faktörler araştırıldı. BULGULAR Çalışmaya 29 hasta (25 erkek, 4 kadın; ort. yaş 40,1±3,4) alındı. Hastaneye yatış gününde olguların %41,3’ünde, yatışın 5. gününde ise %65.5’inde radyolojik anormallik saptandı. Çalışmamızda bronkoskopiye bağlı komplikasyon görülmedi. Kaybedilen 24 hasta ile iyileşen hastalar karşılaştırıldığında kaybedilen hastalarda yanık yüzdesinin daha yüksek (%20,4-%48,5, p=0,003), yoğun bakım yatış süresinin daha uzun (ort.7,0-13,7 gün, p=0,037) olduğu saptandı. Kaybedilen hastalarda 5. günde radyolojik anormallik ve ARDS %79.1 ve %50 oranında görülürken, iyileşen hastaların hiçbirinde ARDS ve 5. gün akciğer grafisinde patoloji olmadığı saptanmıştır (p<0,05). SONUÇ Kutanöz yanık olgularında birlikte var olan inhalasyon yanığı yüksek oranda pulmoner komplikasyonlara neden olmakta ve mortaliteyi arttırmaktadır. Tanı için erken dönemde bronkoskopi yapılması ve bu hastaların yakın takibi gereklidir.
