Abstract

Narghile has been used commonly by the elderly in the last 400 years and also by younger populationsince 1980’s. Carbon monoxide poisoning in narghile smokers is very rare. In this presentation, twofemale patients aged 20 and 21 years old and who have exhibited carbon monoxide poisoning afternarghile smoking were evaluated. They were presented to the emergency department due to syncopeand their carboxyhemoglobin levels were measured as 26.5 and 21.4, respectively. Narghile smoking hasbecome very popular especially in the young population in recent years. Carbon monoxide poisoningrates with nonspecific symptoms like lassitude, fatigue and fainting has also increased together with thisincrease. Narghile use/exposure should be questioned carefully especially in young patients admitted tothe emergency department with nonspecific symptoms.

Özet

Nargile son 400 yılda özellikle yaşlılar tarafından, 1980'lerden sonra da gençler tarafından yaygın olarak kullanılmıştır. Nargile içicilerinde karbonmonoksit (CO) intoksikasyonu nadir izlenir. Bu sunumda, 21 ve 20 yaşlarında olan ve nargile içimi sonrasında CO intoksikasyonu sonucu bayılma ile gelen iki kadın hasta irdelenmiştir. Acil servise baygın halde getirilen hastaların karboksihemoglobin seviyeleri sırasıyla 26.5 ve 21,4 olarak ölçülmüştür. Nargile kullanımı son yıllarda, özellikle genç popülasyonda artmıştır. Bu artışa bağlı olarak, halsizlik, yorgunluk, bayılma gibi nonspesifik şikayetler ile CO intoksikasyonu oranı da artmaktadır. Acil servise başvuran nonspesifik şikayetleri olan özellikle genç hastalarda nargile kullanımı/maruziyeti derinlemesine sorgulanmalı ve bu konuda uyanık olunmalıdır.
