Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate etiological, demographical and clinical characteristics of cases with acute poisoning referred to the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) of Zonguldak Karaelmas University Hospital in Zonguldak, a City in the West Black Sea Region of Turkey. Materials and Methods: Two-hundred and ninety-five cases with acute intoxication referred to the Emergency Department of Zonguldak Karaelmas University Hospital between March 2003 and December 2006 were analyzed retrospectively. Results:: Two hundred and ninety-five patients out of 4166 who referred to EMS were poisining cases. Of the poisoning cases, 67.5 % were female. Their mean age was 22.5±15.9 years. The seasonal distribution of empoisoned patients suggested a peak in summer (29.8 %). Suicidal poisoning was the mostly observed etiology in the majority of cases (59.7 %). Drugs were the most common causes of poisoning (63.7 %) followed by corrosives (12.9 %), carbon monoxide (10.2 %), organophosphate insecticides (5.8 %), mushroom (3.4 %), alcohol (1.36 %) and rat poison (superwarfarins) (0.3 %). Some cases (21.4 %) were intoxicated by only sertralin. The poisons were taken mainly by the gastrointestinal route (87.8 %), and 59.7 % of these patients were hospitalized. The mean duration of hospitalization was 2.8 ± 5.0 days. The admission rate to intensive care unit was 58.6 %. Mortality rate was 2.7 %. Carbon monoxide was the most frequent cause of death. Two hundred and eighty-seven patients were discharged from the hospital with (n=5) and without any sequelae (n=282). Conclusion: The suicidal and accidental poisoning cases are found to have etiological, demographic, and clinical differences. We suppose that these differences must be discussed during the training of professionals who will be employed in the emergency and reanimation units.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’nin kuzey batısında yer alan Zonguldak şehrinde Zonguldak Karaelmas Üniversite Hastanesi Acil Servisi’ne başvuran akut zehirlenme olgularını bireysel, nedensel ve klinik özelliklerine göre değerlendirmektir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Zonguldak Karaelmas Üniversite Hastanesi Acil Servisi’ne başvuran (Mart 2003-Aralık 2006) 295 akut zehirlenme olgusu geriye yönelik değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Acil servise başvuran 4166 hastadan 295’i zehirlenme olgusu idi. Zehirlenme olgularının % 67,5’i kadındı. Yaş ortalaması 22,5±15,9 idi. Zehirlenen olguların mevsimsel dağılımında yaz mevsiminde yoğunluk olduğu gözlendi (% 29,8). İntihar amaçlı zehirlenme, olguların çoğunluğunda başlıca etiyoloji olarak gözlendi (% 59,7). Tıbbi ilaçlar zehirlenmelerin başlıca nedeni idi (% 63,7).Bunu korozivler (% 12,9), karbon monoksit (% 10,2), organofosfatlı insektisidler (% 5,8), mantar (% 3,4), alkol (% 1,36) ve fare zehiri (süpervarfarinler) (% 0,3) izledi. Olguların % 21,4’ü yalnızca sertralin ile zehirlenmişti. Zehirler başlıca gastrointestinal sistem yolu ile alınmış idi (% 87,8). Olguların % 59,7’si hastanede yatarak tedavi aldı. Hastanede ortalama yatış süresi 2,8 ± 5,0 gün idi. Yoğun bakıma alınma oranı % 58,6 idi. Mortalite oranı % 2,7 idi. Karbon monoksit en sık ölüm nedeniydi. 282 olgu sekelsiz taburcu edilirken 5 olgu sekel ile taburcu edildi.Sonuç: İntihar amaçlı ve kaza ile ortaya çıkan zehirlenmeler; etiyolojik, bireysel ve klinik farklılıklara sahiptir. Bu farklılıkların acil servis ve reanimasyon bölümlerinde çalışanların eğitiminde tartışılmasının gerektiği düşüncesindeyiz.
