Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the clinical profile and prognosis of the patients with fasciotomy who were admitted to Van Training and Research Hospital following the 2011 Van earthquake.Patients and methods: Twenty-one patients (II males. 10 females: mean age 38.3 years; range 18 to 60 years) who had urgent fasciotomy in our clinic following the earthquake were included. Medical records including demographic data, clinical characteristics and prognostic data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results: Seven of 21 patients with fasciotomies underwent amputation. Fasciotomy incisions were closed with skingrafting in nine patients and with primary closure in three patients. Eight patients had full range of motion of the joint, while four patients had restricted range of motion of the joint and needed rehabilitation. Two patients had sensory loss.Conclusion: Compartment syndrome is one of the serious problems after the Van earthquake. The infection ratio was low. while the amputation ratio was high. The use of anticoagulants following compartment syndrome worsens the clinical presentation, increasing the intracompartmental pressure.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmada 2011 Van depreminden sonra Van Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesine başvuran fasyotomi yapılmış hastaların klinik profili ve tedavi sonuçları araştırıldı.Hastalar ve yöntemler: Deprem sonrası kliniğimizde acil fasyotomi uygulanan 21 hasta (II erkek. 10 kadın: ort. yaş 38.3 yıl: dağılım 18-60 yıl) çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik verileri, klinik özellikleri, tedavi ve prognoz bilgilerini içeren tıbbi kayıtlar geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Fasyotomi uygulanan 21 hastanın yedisinde ampu-tasyon gerekti. Fasyotomi insizyonları dokuz hastada deri grefti ile üç hastada ise primer olarak kapatıldı. Fasyotomi sonrası sekiz hastada tam eklem hareket açıklığına ulaşılırken, dört hastada eklem hareket açıklığında kısıtlılık görüldü ve bu hastalarda rehabilitasyona gereksinim duyuldu. İki hastada ise duyu kaybı gelişti.Sonuç: Van depremi sonrası kompartman sendromu karşılaştığımız önemli sorunlardan biri oldu. Enfeksiyon oranı düşük ancak amputasyon oranı yüksek idi. Kompartman sendromu sonrası antikoagülan kullanımı kompartman içi basıncını artırarak klinik tabloyu kötüleştirmektedir.
