Abstract

Introduction and Aim Being one of the major problems in the world and in Turkey, traffic accidents require being accurately examined and solved . The purpose of this study is to reveal the effects of blood alcohol level on the severity of injury and death as a result of motor vehicle accident traumas and to review and command on the social importance of this issue.Materials and Methods Four hundred forty-five patients who were admitted to Ataturk Training and Research Hospital Emergency Department between January 2010 and December 2011, after motor vehicle accidents are enrolled in the study. Patients’ ages, gender, blood alcohol levels and vehicle types were recorded retrospectively. Abbreviated Injury Score (AIS) and Injury Severity Score (ISS) were detected for each patient according to trauma regions and severity. The patients were divided into two groups according to the blood alcohol levels (

Özet

Trafik kazaları, dünyanın ve Türkiye'nin en başta gelen ve çözümü zor sorunlarından biri olduğu için incelenmesi ve çözüm yolları bulunması gerekmektedir. Trafik kazalarının başta gelen nedenlerinden biri alkol kullanımıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, motorlu taşıt kazası sonucu oluşan travmalarda kan alkol düzeyinin yaralanma ciddiyeti ve ölüm üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya çıkarmak, toplumsal önemi olan bu konu hakkında görüş belirtmek ve yorum yapabilmektir.Gereç ve Yöntem Mayıs 2011 ile Aralık 2011 tarihleri arasında Atatürk Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Acil Servisine motorlu araç kazası sonucu yaralanma ile başvuran 445 hasta retrospektif olarak çalışmaya dahil edilerek yaş, cinsiyet, kan alkol seviyeleri, maliyetleri ve kazadaki taşıt tipi kaydedildi. Her hastanın yaralanma bölgeleri ve ciddiyetleri kaydedilerek hesaplanacak kısaltılmış yaralanma skoru (Abbreviated Injury Score, AIS) ve yaralanma ciddiyet skoru (Injury Severity Score, ISS) belirlendi. Hastalar kan alkol seviyesine göre 0,5 promil altı ve üstü olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı.Bulgular Çalışmaya dahil edilen 445 hastadan 341'inde (%76,6) kan alkol düzeyi 0,5 promilin (50 mg/dl) altındayken, 104'ünde (%23,4) etanol düzeyi 0,5 promil ve üstü şeklindeydi. Her iki grupta yaşla ilişkili istatistiksel anlamlı fark bulunmazken (p=0,754); ISS, acil serviste takip süreleri ve maliyet arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark mevcuttu (p
