Abstract

Methanol intoxication is an uncommon form of poisoning that can cause death. In this study, we aimed to determine clinic features, outcomes and prognostic factors on morbidity and mortality in methanol poisonings in Van Province. Total 15 methanol poisoned patients who admitted to Yüzüncü Yıl University Medical School Training Hospital were included. Of 15 patients who diagnosed methanol poisoning, 14 (% 93.3) were male, one patient (% 6.7) was female. Mean age of patients was 24.5 ( 9.7 years (18-50). Methanol were ingested with suicidal intention in one patient, the remaining were ingested accidentally. Six cases (% 40) were addicted to alcohol. Mean time between ingestion and admission to the hospital was 9.4 ( 5.3 hours. Initially, mean pH value was 7.12 ( 0.27. The majority of patients were complaint of headache (% 60), nausea and vomiting (% 60), blurred vision (% 46.7), abdominal pain (% 33.3), hipersalivation (% 26.7), coma (% 13.3) and shoulder pain (% 6.7). Six patients (% 40) died. Permanent blurred vision was seen in one patient. Eight patients were recovered completely. Methanol poisoning can cause death. It is more frequently seen in males than females. If the pH value less than 7.05 poisoning may be fatal, in these case therapy should be started immediately.

Özet

Metanol zehirlenmesi seyrek görülen ancak görüldüğünde ölümcül olabilen zehirlenme tablosudur. Bu çalışmada, Van yöresinde metanol zehirlenmesi tanısı konulan hastaların klinik ve demografik özellikleriyle, mortalite ve morbidite üzerine etkin faktörlerin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesine başvuran, metanol zehirlenmesi tanısı konulan 15 olgu çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Metanol zehirlenmesi tanısı konulan 15 olgunun 14'ü (% 93.3) erkek, 1 'i (% 6.7) kadındı. Yaş ortalaması 24.5 ( 9.7 (18-50) olarak bulundu. Olgularımızın 14'ü (% 93.3) kaza sonucu, biri (% 6.7) intihar amacı ile metanol almıştı. Vakalarımızın 6'sı (% 40) alkol bağımlısıydı. Olgularımız, metanol alımını takiben ortalama 9.4 ( 5.3 saat sonra hastanemize başvurmuşlardı. Hastaların geliş anında ortalama pH değeri 7.12 ( 0.27 olarak bulundu. Olgularımızın 6'sında (% 40) geliş anında arter kan gazı pH değeri 7.05'in altındaydı. Hastaneye başvuru anında en sık rastlanan şikayetler sırasıyla: Asemptomatik: 6 olgu (% 40), baş ağrısı, bulantı-kusma: 9 olgu (% 60), bulanık görme: 7 olgu ( % 46.7), karın ağrısı: 5 olgu (% 33.3), hipersalivasyon: 4 olgu (% 26.7), koma: 2olgu (% İ3.3) ve omuz ağrısı: 1 olgu (% 6.7). Olgularımızın 6'sı (% 40) öldü. Bir olgumuzda (% 6.7) kalıcı görme kaybı gelişti. Geri kalan 8 olgu (% 53,3) tam olarak iyileşti. Metanol zehirlenmesi ölümcül seyredebilen, erkeklerde daha sık görülen bir zehirlenme tablosudur. Metanol zehirlenmesi olgularında, arter kan gazı pH değeri 7.05'in altında ise olayın ölümcül seyredebileceği unutulmamalıdır.
