Abstract

Objective: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a common problem in various countries, especially in Winter months. CO exposure results in the formation of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), which is responsible for toxicity symptoms. In this study, we aim to demonstrate the demographic features and seasonal variations of this particular public health problem. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated hospital police reports and medical records of 2417 ED patients diagnosed with CO poisoning between 1999 and 2009. Sources of exposure, seasonal variation and demographic characteristics were analyzed. Results: The mean age of the patients, of whom 1418 (58.7%) were female, was 29±18 years. While 1708 patients (70.7%) were admitted to adult ED, 709 (29.3%) patients were admitted to pediatric ED. January and subsequent Winter months represented the most dangerous periods for CO exposure. No intentional (suicidal attempt) exposure to CO intoxication was reported and the major cause for intoxication included unsecured stoves and gas heaters. Conclusion: Emergency physicians should be familiar with symptoms and remedies of CO intoxication, which still constitutes a serious health problem.

Özet

Amaç: Karbonmonoksit zehirlenmesi birçok ülkede, özellikle kış aylarında önemli bir sorundur. Zehirlenme, toksisite semptomlarından sorumlu olan karboksihemoglobinin (COHb) oluşmasıyla sonuçlanır. Biz çalışmamızda, bu önemli halk sağlığı sorunuyla ilgili demografik özellikleri ve mevsimsel farklılıkları göstermek istedik. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda acil servise 1999-2009 arasında karbonmonoksit zehirlenmesiyle başvuran 2417 hasta, hastane polis kayıtları ve hasta dosyaları incelenerek retrospektif olarak çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Maruziyet kaynakları, mevsimsel değişimler ve demografik özellikler değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşları 29±18’di, 1418’i (%58.7) kadındı. 1708 hasta (%70.7) erişkin acil servise, 709 hasta (%29.3) çocuk acil servise başvurmuştu. Ocak ayı ve diğer kış aylarının karbonmonoksit maruziyeti açısından en tehlikeli aylar olduğu görüldü. Kasıtlı maruziyet (özkıyım girişimi) bildirimi yoktu ve zehirlenme için en önemli nedenler uygun güvenliğin sağlanmadığı soba ve diğer gazlı ısıtma sistemleriydi. Sonuç: Acil tıp hekimleri, hala önemli bir sağlık sorunu olan karbonmonoksit zehirlenmesinin semptomlarına ve tedavi yaklaşımlarına aşina olmalıdır.
