Abstract

Introduction: Thoracic surgery consultation is frequently requested for traumatic and nontraumatic reasons in the emergency department. Early diagnosis and treatment of these patients is very important for the clinician who competes with time. In this study, we aimed to investigate the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of patients who were hospitalized to thoracic surgery department from the emergency department. Methods: 435 patients who were hospitalized by thoracic surgery were retrospectively reviewed. The patients' admission complaints, diagnosis and prognosis were examined. SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) Windows 23.0 program was used to analyze the data. Results: The mean age of the patients was 47.63 ± 20.9, 284 (65.3%) were male and 151 (34.7%) were female. 269 of the cases (62%) were admitted for traumatic reasons and 166 (38%) were for nontraumatic reasons. The most common diagnosis was pneumothorax (n: 134), followed by isolated rib fracture (n: 73) and massive pleural effusion (n: 59). The most common treatment modality was tube thoracostomy (n: 180). Only 4 patients had died. Discussion and Conclusion: Consultation of the thoracic surgery in the emergency department is requested in patients who are affected by respiratory function and require emergency thoracic intervention or surgery. The most common finding in these patients is pneumothorax and the most common treatment is tube thoracostomy. As in our study, the early diagnosis and treatment of these patients has a positive effect on mortality.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Acil serviste travmatik ve nontravmatik nedenlerle sıkça göğüs cerrahisi konsültasyonu istenmektedir. Bu hastalarda erken tanı ve tedavi zamanla yarışan klinisyen için çok önemlidir. Biz de bu çalışma ile acil servisten göğüs cerrahisi kliniğine yatırılan hastaların tanı, tedavi ve prognozlarını incelemeyi amaçladık. Yöntem ve Gereçler: Çalışmada göğüs cerrahisi tarafından yatışı yapılan 435 hasta retrospektif olarak tarandı. Hastaların başvuru şikayetleri, yatış tanıları ve prognozları incelendi. Verilerin analizinde SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) Windows 23.0 programı kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların, yaş ortalaması 47,63±20,9 olup, 284’ü (%65,3) erkek ve 151’i (%34,7) kadındı. Olguların 269’u (%62) travmatik nedenlerden, 166’sı (%38) nontravmatik nedenlerden dolayı başvurdu. En sık pnömotoraks (n: 134) tanısı konulmuş olup, bunu izole kot fraktürü (n: 73) ve masif plevral efüzyon (n: 59) takip ediyordu. En sık uygulanan tedavi yöntemi tüp torakostomiydi (n: 180). Hastaların sadece 4’ü eksitus ile sonuçlandı. Tartışma ve Sonuç: Acil serviste göğüs cerrahisi konsültasyonu, solunum fonksiyonu etkilenen ve acil torasik girişim veya cerrahi gerektiren hastalarda istenir. Bu hastalarda en sık saptanan bulgu pnömotoraks olup, en sık uygulanan tedavi ise tüp torakostomidir. Çalışmamızda da olduğu gibi bu hastaların erken dönemde tanı ve tedavisinin mortalite üzerine etkisi olumludur.
