Evaluation of Patients Hospitalized in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

While most frequent hospitalization was recorded in January(10.7%) and June (10.4%), the least frequent hospitalization was observed in October (5.7%).Number of female patients was 300 (42.8%), whereas number of male patients was 398 (57.2%).Mean length of stay was 5.3±6.1 days. 363 (51.8%) of patients were transferred to other servicesafter their general condition had been stabilized, 86 (12.3%) of patients were discharged fromthe intensive care unit, 8 (1.14%) of patients were referred to an advanced center, and 238(34.4%) of patients died.Conclusion: In this study, it is intended to highlight the fact that the pulmonary infection andthus the respiratory support are the most frequently recorded conditions in the intensive careunit and that preventable diseases such as poisoning in childhood, trauma, drowning, and electricshock take an important place in hospitalization

Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: The patients hospitalized in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) were evaluatedfor the diagnosis, gender, length of stay, months at which they were hospitalized and discharged.Method: In this study, 698 patients hospitalized and followed-up in the Pediatric Intensive CareUnit of Pediatric Health and Diseases of Dicle University Faculty of Medicine between datesof November 2002 – February 2005 were evaluated.Results: 95 (13.6%) of patients were hospitalized with the diagnosis of pulmonary infection,84 of those (%12) with sepsis, 70 (10%) with poisoning, 49 (7%) with infection of central nervesystem, 44 (6.3%) with status epilepticus, 28 (4%) with hepatic coma, 27 (3.9%) with snakebite,24 (3.4%) with scorpion bite, 18 (2.6%) with trauma, 17 (2.4%) with intracranial bleeding, 15(2.1%) with meningococcemia, 12 (1.7%) with drowning, 8 (1.14%) with electric shock, and 7of patients (1%) with malignancy.

Özet

Amaç: Çocuk yoğun bakım ünitesine (ÇYBÜ) yatırılan hastaların tanısı, cinsiyeti, yatış süresi,hangi aylarda yattığı ve sonlanımı incelendi.Yöntem: Bu çalışmada Kasım 2002 - Şubat 2005 tarihleri arasında Dicle Üniversitesi TıpFakültesi Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Çocuk Yoğun Bakım Ünitesine yatırılarak takip edilen698 hasta değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Hastaların 95’i(%13.6) akciğer enfeksiyonu, 84’ü(%12) sepsis, 70’i(%10)zehirlenme, 49’u(%7) merkezi sinir sistemi enfeksiyonu, 44’ü(%6.3) status epileptikus, 28’i(%4)hepatik koma, 27’si(%3.9) yılan ısırması, 24’ü(%3.4) akrep sokması, 18’i(%2.6) travma,17’si(%2.4) intrakranyal kanama, 15’i(%2.1) meningokoksemi, 12’si(%1.7) suda boğulma,8’i(%1.14) elektrik çarpması, 7’si(%1) malignensi tanıları ile yatmıştı. Ocak (%10.7) ve Haziran(%10.4) aylarında daha fazla yatış görülürken, en az yatış Ekim (%5.7) ayında gözlendi. Kızhasta sayısı 300(%42.8), erkek hasta sayısı 398(%57.2) idi. Yatış süreleri ortalama 5.3±6.1 günidi. Hastaların 363’ü(%51.8) durumu stabil edildikten sonra diğer servislere transfer edildi,86’sı(%12.3) yoğun bakım ünitesinden taburcu edildi, 8’i(%1.14) ileri merkeze sevk edildi,238’i(%34.4) ise öldü.Sonuç: Bu çalışmada akciğer enfeksiyonu ve bu nedenle solunum desteğinin yoğun bakımünitesinde en sık karşılaşılan durum olduğu, çocukluk çağı zehirlenmeleri, travma, sudaboğulma, elektrik çarpması gibi önlem alınabilecek hastalıkların yatışlarda önemli bir yer tuttuğuvurgulanmak istendi
