Abstract

Objective: This retrospective study on the acute intoxication cases registered at the Acıbadem Kadıköy Hospital between January 2005 and December 2011 was performed to find out the number and types of poisoning cases treated. Material and Method: Their distribution according to patient’s sex and age, chronology, type of toxic agents involved, intentionality, history, symptoms, clinical development, treatment and toxicological analysis used for diagnosis were evaluated. Results: Data from a total of 128 patients with a mean age of 30.29±14.95 years (77% women) were included. The highest rates of poisoning were recorded on the months December, January, June. Based on the examination on toxic intakes, it was found that the most frequent toxic agent is antidepressants with 101 occurrences (78%). Ethyl alcohol overdose counts as the second with 14% appearing at mostly high level alcohol addicted male patients. It has been observed that 84% of the incidents are suicidal. The implementation of general intensive care was discussed in the case study which indicates a mortality rate of 0.7%. Conclusion: The results illustrate that social factors have impact on the cause and source of poisoning and epidemiologic surveys are important to cure the acute poisoning cases.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Ocak 2005 ile Aralık 2011 tarihleri arasında Acıbadem Kadıköy Hastanesi’nde gözlenen verilere dayanılarak akut zehirlenme olgularının retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Zehirlenme tipi, sayısı, hastaların yaş ve cinsiyete göre dağılımları, kronolojisi, alınan toksik ajanın tipi, alınma nedeni, semptomlar, klinik gelişim, tedavi ve tanıda kullanılan toksik analizi detaylı incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Gözlenen değerlere göre, toplam 128 olgunun yaş ortalaması 30,29±14,95 yıl (%77’si kadın) bulunmuştur. En yüksek zehirlenme olgusunun Aralık, Ocak ve Haziran aylarında olduğu gözlenmiştir. Toksik maddeler bazında yapılan incelemede 101 kişinin İlaç zehirlenmesi (%78) nedeniyle başvurduğu; yani en sık toksik ajanın tıbbi ilaçlar olduğu; 101 kişinin antidepresan zehirlenmesi (%78) ile başvurduğu görülmüştür. Bunu izleyen ikinci başvuru nedeni olarak alkol overdozu olgusunun 18 olgu (%14) olduğu ve bu başvuruların erkek ve yüksek düzey bağımlılıkları olduğu görülmüştür. Olguların %84’ünün suisid amaçlı zehirlenme oldukları saptanmıştır. Mortalite hızı %0,7 olan olgu analizinde genel yoğun bakım uygulamaları tartışılmıştır. Sonuç: Sosyal faktörlerin zehirlenmenin nedenlerini ve kaynaklarını etkilediği ve yapılan epidemiyolojik araştırmaların akut zehirlenme olgularını tedavi etmede önemli olduğu gösterilmiştir.
