Abstract

Drains and catheters are used for both prophylactic and therapeutic reasons in clinical practice. This study aimed to investigate the factors that affect safety of drains, catheters, nasogastric tube and central venous line in patients who underwent surgery.Material and Methods: Two hundred and four consecutive patients who were operated at the general surgery clinics under general anesthesia were included in the study. Factors that affect the safety of drains and catheter were followed and recorded prospectively.Results: During follow-up period, 12 (5.8%) patients have experienced problems regarding safety of drains/catheters. The mean age of patients who were followed-up in terms of security problems was 63.1 years. Eight (66.7%) patients had been operated emergently, and four (33.3%) patients electively. Three (25%) patients had psychiatric/neurological co-morbidities and 3 (25%) patients were confused due to anesthesia/intensive care unit treatment when the drain safety was broken. Eight (66.7%) patients withdrew the drains or catheters by themselves, in 2 (16.7%) patients the drains spontaneously came out and in 2 (16.7%) patients the wrong drain was withdrawn. One patient had dementia, one patient had Alzheimer's disease and one patient was being followed-up with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. In three (25%) patients the abdominal drain, in four (33.3%) patients nasogastric tube, in one (8.3%) patient intubation tube, in one (8.3%) patient central venous catheter, and in three (25%) patients multiple drains were removed.Conclusion: The inaccurate use of drains or re-intervention for an unintentionally removed drain causes problems regarding patient safety. Close monitoring of surgical patients in terms of security, and submission of additional measures for patients with confusion and neurological/psychiatric disorders are of great importance.

Özet

Amaç: Drenler ve kateterler klinikte hem tedavi edici hem de profilaktik amaçla kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada cerrahi kliniğinde ameliyat edilen hastaların dren, kateter, nazogastrik ve santral damar yolu güvenliklerini etkileyen faktörlerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Genel cerrahi kliniğinde genel anestezi altında ameliyat edilen 204 hasta ardışık olarak çalışmaya alınmıştır. Prospektif olarak hastaların dren ve kateter güvenliklerini etkileyen faktörlerin takibi sağlanmış ve sorun olanlar kayıt altına alınarak analizi yapılmıştır.Bulgular: Takip sırasında 12 (%5,8) hastada dren/kateter güvenlikleri açısından sorun yaşandı. Hasta güvenliği açısından sorun yaşanıp takibe alınan hastaların yaş ortalaması 63,1 idi. Sekiz (%66,7) hasta acil, dört (%33,3) hasta ise elektif şartlarda ameliyat edilmişti. Üç (%25) hastada psikiyatrik/nörolojik yandaş hastalık ve 3 (%25) hastada ise dren güvenliği bozulduğu sırada anestezi/yoğun bakıma bağlı bilinç bulanıklığı mevcut idi. Sekiz (%66,7) hastada dren veya kateterler hasta tarafından çekilirken, 2 (%16,7) hastada kendiliğinden çıkma ve 2 (%16,7) hastada takipte yanlış dren çekme mevcut idi. Bir hasta demans, bir hasta Alzheimer ve bir hasta ise şizofreni tanısı ile takip edilmekte idi. Üç (%25) hastanın batın dreni, dört (%33,3) hastanın nazogastrik sondası, bir (%8,3) hastada entübasyon tüpü, bir (%8,3) hastada santral kateter ve üç (%25) hastada birden fazla dren çıkmıştır.Sonuç: Drenlerin yanlış kullanılması veya çıkan drene yönelik tekrar girişim hasta güvenliği açısından sorun oluşturmaktadır. Cerrahi hastaların tedavi sırasında güvenlikleri açısından yakından takip edilmesi, bilinç bulanıklığı ve yandaş nörolojik/psikiyatrik hastalıkları olan hastalar için ek önlemler alınması büyük önem taşımaktadır.
