Abstract

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the frequency of pulmonary embolism in the patients hospitalized with the acute exacerbations of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). Methods: For this purpose, 33 patients (19 men and 14 women) hospitalized in our clinic with the exacerbations of COPD between 2005 and 2007 were prospectively studied. All patients were scanned by contrast-enhanced multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT). Symptoms of sudden chest-pain and dyspnea were recorded. For the analysis, FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume), D-dimer, Echocardiogram (ECHO) and the contrast-enhanced MSCT were used. Relationship between pulmonary embolism, age, sex, FEV1, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, and D-dimer results were compared. Conclusion: In our study, it was found that the incidence of pulmonary embolism was common in the patients hospitalized with exacerbations of COPD (9%). For this reason, it has been concluded that patients who have sudden chest pain must be investigated with contrast enhanced MSCT in terms of the probability of pulmonary embolism.

Özet

Amaç: KOAH (Kronik Obstruktif Akciğer Hastalığı) akut atak ile yatırılan hastalarda pulmoner emboli sıklığını araştırmak. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimize 2005 ve 2007 yılları arasında KOAH akut atak ile yatırılan 33 hasta (19'u erkek 14'ü kadın) prospektif olarak incelendi. Tüm hastalar kontrastlı çok kesitli bilgisayarlı tomografi (ÇKBT) ile tarandı. Ani göğüs ağrısı ve nefes darlığı semptomları kaydedildi. İnceleme için FEV1 (Zorlu Ekspiratuar Volüm), D-dimer, Ekokardiyografi (EKO) ve ÇKBT kullanıldı. Pulmoner emboli ile yaş, cinsiyet, FEV1, ortalama pulmoner arter basınçları ve D-dimer sonuçları arasındaki ilişki karşılaştırıldı. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda KOAH akut alevlenmeleriyle yatırılan hastalarda, akciğer emboli insidansının sık olduğu (%9) bulundu. Bu nedenle KOAH akut atak ile yatırılan hastalardan ani göğüs ağrısı olanların pulmoner emboli açısından araştırılması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
