Abstract

Objective: The aim is to investigate the effi ciency of use of cardiac ultrasonography in patients brought in with respiratuary stress to the Emergency Department (ED). Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 72 patients between January 2009 and February 2010 in a third degree ED. It was accepted by the Ethics Committee of the University and informed signed consent was obtained from every patient after explanation. Age, sex, consultation, Killip and New York classifi cation, duration in ED, fi nalization, cost in ED, whether there are echocardiography and computerized tomography (CT) results and LVD (left ventricule diastole, LVS (left ventricule systole) longitudinal total lengths evaluated by a blind emergency physician (EP) were evaluated. All cardiac screens were archived by printing with lengths. The sonographic machine used was GE Proseries Logic 200. X2 and Fisher’s Exact test for the relations between categorical data and Mann-Whitney U test for comparison in dual groups were used in statistical analysis. Results: There was a signifi cant diff erence in LVD and LVS lengths between the patients admitted to the cardiology clinic and the others (p=0.001, p=0.001). There was no signifi cant diff erence found in the same groups for the duration, cost in ED (p=0.778, p=0.194), the fi nalization of patients admitted to cardiology 40.3% (n=29), chest diseases 31.9% (n=23) and others. Conclusion: Cardiac USG performed in ED is helpful in the diff erential diagnosis and evaluation of the left ventricular sizes in dyspneic patients and is eff ective in management and fi nalization.

Özet

Amaç: Amacımız kardiyak ultrasonografi kullanımının Acilde solunum sıkıntısı ile getirilen hastalarda etkinliğini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Üniversite Acil servisinde Ocak 2009-Şubat 2010 tarih aralığında 72 olguyu içeren prospektif bir çalışmadır. Çalışmamız Üniversitemiz Etik Kurulunca kabul edilmiş olup, tüm hastaların sözel açıklama sonrasında yazılı olarak onamları alınmıştır. Yaş, cinsiyet, konsultasyon, Killip sınıfl andırması, New York Kalp Birliği fonksiyonel sınıfl aması, hastanın Acildeki süresi, sonuç, Acildeki maliyet, varsa ekokardiyografi ve komputerize tomografi sonuçları ile hastaya kör uygulayıcı tarafından ilk 10 dakikada yapılan görsel genel kardiyak fonksiyon ve perikardiyal alanın yanısıra her hastada SVD (sol ventrikül diyastol), SVS (sol ventrikül sistolik) longitudinal total ölçümü değerlendirilmiştir. Tüm kardiyak görünümler ölçümleriyle basılarak arşivlendirilmiştir. Sonografi cihazı GE Proseries Logic 200 kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel analiz için SPSS12 ile kategorik verilerde değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiye Ki-Kare ve Fisher’s Exact testi, iki gruplu karşılaştırmalarda Mann-Whitney U testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Kardiyolojiye yatırılan hastalar ile diğer hastalar arasında SVD ve SVS değerleri arasında anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p=0.001, p=0.001). Kardiyolojiye yatan ile diğer hastalar arasında Acildeki süre, Acilde maliyet ilişkisi bulunamamıştır (p=0.778, p=0.194). Hastaların %40.3’ü (n=29) kardiyolojiye, %31.9’u (n=23) göğüs hastalıklarına, %12.5’i onkolojiye (n=9), %4.2’si (n=3) nefrolojiye, %1.4’i (n=1) hematolojiye yatırılmıştır, %9.7’sinin (n=7) tedavisi Acil Gözlemde yapılarak Acilden taburcu edilmiştir. Sonuç: Acilde yapılan kardiyak USG ayırıcı tanıda destek olup genel olarak sol ventrikül boyutlarının belirlenmesi nefes darlığı başvurularında hasta yönetim ve sonlandırılışında doğrudan etkindir.
