Özet

Girifl: Bu çalıflmada suda boğulma vakalarında yaflla birlikte ortaya çıkan önlenebilir nedenleri belirleyerek ölümlerin azaltılması için alınması gereken önlemlerin tartıflılması amaçlanmıfltır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Suda boğulma nedeni ile ölen ve Antalya adli tıp kurumunda açık otopsisi ve patolojik örneklemesi yapılan yabancı uyruklu turistlere ait otopsi raporları geriye dönük incelendi. Çalıflmaya dahil edilen olgular 65 yafl ve üstü Grup I, 65 yafl altı olgular ise Grup II olarakiki gruba ayrıldı. gruplar demografik veriler, çıkarıldıkları su kaynağı, mevsim, uyuflturucu madde,alkol düzeyleri ve koroner arter hastalığı varlığı yönünden karflılafltırıldı.Bulgular: Çalıflmaya aldığımız 89 olgunun 48''i Grup I, 41''i Grup II'yi oluflturmufltur. Gruplar arasında uyruk, mevsimsel, çıkarıldıkları su kaynakları, alkol düzeyleri, koroner arter hastalığıyönünden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark tespit edildi (p0.05).Sonuç: Özellikle yaflla birlikte termoregulatuvar kapasitenin azalması ve komorbid hastalıkların efllik etmesi nedeni ile yafllı nüfusun, nemin ve sıcaklığın yüksek olduğu öğlen saatleri yerinesabah ve öğleden sonra suya girmeleri, efor kapasitelerini zorlamamaları ve suya girmeden öncealkol almamaları önerilmektedir
