Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between high carboxyhemoglobin (CoHb) levels and hyperbaricoxygen (HBO) treatment in acute carbonmonoxide (CO) poisoning. Material and Methods: Patients examined due to CO poisoning with a COHb level> 20 were evaluated retrospectively. In accordance to the CoHb levels after the treatment of patients with normobaric oxygen or HBO; duration of emergency stay, indications for HBO treatment, current clinical findings were evaluated. Results: While the CO source was coal stove in 66 cases (60%), 99.1% of the exposures occurred in the home environment. HBO therapy was applied in 20.9% (n: 23) patients. Indications for HBO treatment were syncope in 10 (9.1%) patients, blurred consciousness in 7 (6.4%), and cardiac toxicity in 2 (1.8%). A positive correlation was found between the arrival COHb values of the patients and their length of stay in the emergency room (p = 0,000). Conclusion: CO poisoning is a common emergency. Oxygen therapy with a reservoir mask is the main treatment in the emergency room and provides adequate treatment for the majority of patients. HBO treatment is not available in every center and emergency departments experience difficulties in terms of establishing correct indications. Regardless of COHb level, the patient should be evaluated clinically for HBO indication.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı acil servise başvuran akut karbon monoksit (CO) zehirlenmesinde yüksek karboksihemoglobin (CoHb) düzeyleri ile hiperbarik oksijen (HBO) tedavisi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: CO zehirlenmesi nedeniyle değerlendirilen ve COHb düzeyi >20 olan hastalar retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastaların aldıkları normobarik oksijen (NBO) ya da HBO tedavi sonrası COHb düzeyleri doğrultusunda hastaların acilde kalış süresi, HBO tedavisi alım endikasyonları, mevcut klinik bulgular değerlendirildi. Bulgular: CO kaynağı, 66 olguda (%60) kömür sobası iken maruziyetlerin %99,1’i ev ortamında gerçekleşti. %20,9 (n:23) hastada HBO tedavisi uygulandı. HBO tedavi uygulanma endikasyoları 10 (%9,1 ) hastada senkop, 7 sinde (%6,4) şuur bulanıklığı ve 2 sinde (%1,8) kardiyak toksisiteydi. Hastaların geliş CoHb değerleri ile acil serviste kalış süreleri arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir korelasyon saptandı (p=0,000). Sonuç: CO zehirlenmesi sık rastlanan bir acildir. Acil serviste rezervuarlı maske ile oksijen tedavisi temel tedavidir ve hastaların büyük bir kısmında yeterli tedaviyi sağlamaktadır. HBO tedavisi her merkezde ulaşılır olmamakta ve doğru endikasyonlar konması açısından acil servilerde sıkıntı yaşanmaktadır. COHb düzeyinden bağımsız olarak hastanın HBO endikasyonu açısından klinik olarak değerlendirilmesi gerekmektedir.
