Abstract

Decrease in cognitive functions and tendency for depression in elderly patients result in suicide attempts, and this remains a major health problem especially in developed countries. Oral ingestion of various caustic substances for suicidal purposes are common, however, using a mixture of these substances is quite rare. Ingestion of household products may lead to injuries in the aero-digestive tract ranging in severity from mild to fatal. Moreover, the complex chemical composition of such products makes understanding the interactions between them almost impossible. We present an elderly patient with gallbladder perforation, who had ingested naphthalene and warfarin tablets (rat poison) dissolved in a cleanser (for window cleaning).

Özet

Özellikle yaşlı hastalarda azalan kognitif fonksiyonlar, depresyona eğilim ve neticesinde suisidal girişimler gelişmiş ülkelerde halen ciddi bir sağlık problemidir. ‹ntihar amacı ile çeşitli kostik maddelerin oral alımı sık olmakla beraber bu maddelerin karıştırılarak kullanımı yaygın değildir. Evde kullanılan kimyasal ajanların içilmesi hava ve sindirim yollarında çok hafif şiddetten ölümcül seviyeye kadar çok çeşitli hasarlar uşturabilir. Ayrıca maddelerin karmaşık kimyasal yapıları nedeni ile etkileşimlerini tam olarak saptamakta neredeyse imkansızdır. Biz burada ev deterjanı (cam silmek amaçlı) içinde, naftalin ve varfarin tabletlerini (fare zehiri) eriterek içen yaşlı bir hastada gelişen safra kesesi perforasyonu olgusunu sunduk.
