Abstract

Objective: Clinical, laboratory and radiological findings play a major role for the diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism. However, its diagnosis is usually challenging due to other clinical problems of patients. In this study; our aim is to determine the risk factors of patients, by evaluating their initial complaints, clinical and laboratory parameters. Material and Method: In this study, we included 27 patients having the findings of pulmonary embolism applying to our clinic between the years 2010-2014. Risk factors at the diagnosis, symptoms, and radiological findings were retrospectively evaluated. Clinical prediction scores of all patients at the time of application was calculated by using Wells scoring system (Canadian score). Results: The mean age of the patients were 74.56±11.63 and %25.9 were male whereas %74.1 were female. 29.6% of the cases were active smokers. The mean Well’s score and D-dimer values were 3.57±1.7 and 2697.85±1648.26 respectively. The factors that leads to pulmonary embolism were surgery/immobiliza- tion in 48.1% and subclinical diagnosis of DVT in 55.6%. The frequent symptoms were dyspnea (59.3%) and palpitations (44.4%) and ın Physıcal examination the most common findings were tachypnea (66.7%) and pulmonary rales (48.1%). In the blood gases undertaken in room air alkaline PH that revealed hypoxia and hypercarbia were present. The most common pulmonary X ray fındıng was the elevated diaphragm (51.9%). Doppler Ultrasound was done in 48.1% of the patients and DVT findings was present in 46.15%. 11 (40.7%) cases underwent a ventilation perfusion scintigraphy and out of these 63.3% findings consistent with Pulmonary Embolism were present. In patients whom CT angiogram was done 48.1% revealed fındıngs of Pulmonary Embolism (PE). Conclusion: In conclusion our study showed that ventilation perfusion scintigraphy, CT angiography and Venous Doppler ın DVT protocol were not done in 59.3%, 51.9%, 51.9% cases respectively. The elder age of the patients and systemic high risk comorbidities are thought to be the limiting factors that lead to non- application of the above tests. For this reason, clinical suspicion and assessment of probable risk factors is important for early diagnosis and rapid initiation of treatment for pulmonary embolism.

Özet

Amaç: Pulmoner Emboli tanısında; klinik, laboratuvar ve radyolojik bulgular önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bununla birlikte,tanıda hastaların diğer klinik sorunları nedeni ile, çoğu zaman zorluklar yaşanmaktadır. Bu çalışma da; hastaya ait risk faktörleri, başvuru anındaki şikayetleri, klinik ve labaratuvar parametrelerini incelemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya, 2010-2014 yılları arasında, Pulmoner Emboli nedeni ile servisimize yatışı yapılmış 27 olgu alındı. Olguların, tanı anındaki risk faktörleri, semptomları, radyolojik görüntüsü retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastalarımızın başvuru anındaki, Wells (Canadian) pulmoner tromboemboli klinik tahmin skorlaması yapıldı. Bulgular: Olguların ortalama yaşı 74.56±11.63 olup, %25.9u erkek, %74.1i kadındı. Olguların %29.6sı sigara kullanıyordu. Wells skoru ortalama 3.57±1.7, D-dimer 2697.85±1648.26 idi. Emboliyi hazırlayıcı faktör olarak cerrahi operasyon/ immobilizasyon (%48.1) ve derin ven trombozu tanısından daha öncelikli alt tanı (%55.6) ilk sıraları aldı. En sık görülen semptomlar sırasıyla dispne (%59.3), çarpıntı (%44.4) iken Fizik muayenede en çok bulunan bulgu takipne (%66.7) ve raldi (%48.1) Oda havasında bakılan kan gazında, %66,6 hipok- sik hipokarbik bazik ph mevcuttu. Akciğer grafisinde en çok bulunan bulgu diafram yüksekliğiydi (%51.9). Derin ven Doppler USG olguların %48.1ine yapılırken, yapılmış olguların %46.15de DVT bulgusu mevcuttu. Olguların 11 (%40.7)sine Ventilasyon perfüzyon sintigrafisi yapılırken, yapılmış olguların %63.63sında yüksek olasılıklı Pulmoner Emboli mevcuttu. BT anjiyo yapılan olguların %48.1inde PE bulgusu mevcuttu. Sonuç: Çalışmamız sonunda olguların %59.3üne ventilasyon perfüzyon sintigrafisi, %51.9una BT Anjio, %51.9una Derin Ven Doppler USG yapılmadığı görüldü. Hastaların ileri yaş olması, eşlik eden diğer komorbiditesi yüksek sistemik hastalıklar bu tetkiklerin yapılmasında sınırlayıcı olmaktadır. Bu nedenle PE tanısında klinik şüphenin ve olası risklerin iyi değerlendirilmesinin, erken tanı ve tedaviye başlanması açısından önemli olduğunu düşünmekteyiz.
