Abstract

Objectives: Establishment of emergency medicine specialty in Tabriz in October of 2006 made a big fundamental revolution in the quality of medical service in the general hospital of Imam Reza. Each patient who comes to emergency department after triage, visited by an intern and a resident of emergency medicine (EM) and decision about their disposition following necessary medical care is made. In this study we aimed to show the promptness of first visits and length of stay of patients in the emergency department. Materials and Methods: Randomized day or night visits from 20 March up to 20 June 2008 to emergency department were included in the study. Then the length of emergency department stay from admission to leaving emergency department, length of delay to first visit by a resident of EM and the consultants were recorded. Results: A total of 4.550 patients were included in the study. All patients were visited by EM residents and 80% of patients visited only by EM residents and an attending physician. The mean length of waiting time for the first visit and the mean length of emergency department stay were 11.6±14.8 min and 183.6±409.5 respectively. The consultation rates with infectious disease, internal medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, general surgery and ENT was 0.9%, 3.5%, 6.3%, 6.2%, 7.7% and 0.3%, respectively. Conclusion: Although emergency medicine is a toddler and there is insufficient number of residents to serve the patients in Tabriz, residents can still visit patients in a few minutes. The length of time for the first visit is short and majority of the patients were seen both by a resident and an attending physician.

Özet

Giriş: Tabriz’de 2006 yılında acil tıbbın kurulması İmam Rıza Hastanesi’nin tıbbi hizmetlerinin kalitesinde kökten bir değişiklik meydana getirdi. Acil servise triyaj sonrası giren hastalar, önce intörnler, daha sonra da asistanlar tarafından görülmektedirler. Bu çalışmadaki hastaların hekimler tarafından ilk görülme sürelerini ve acil serviste bekleme sürelerini belirlemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: 20 Mart 2008 ile 20 Haziran 2008 tarihleri arasında acil servise gece ve gündüz şiftlerinde başvuran tüm hastalar çalışmaya alındı. Hastaların acil serviste kalış süreleri, hekim tarafından ilk görülme süreleri ve konsültasyon istenenler bölümler kaydedildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 4550 hasta alındı. Tüm hastalar bir asistan tarafından ve hastaların %80’i bir asistan ve uzman tarafından görülmüşlerdi. Acil serviste bir hekim tarafından görülme süreleri ve acil serviste bekleme süreleri sırasıyla 11,6±14,8 ve 183,6±409,5 dakikaydı. Enfeksiyon hastalıkları, dahiliye, nöroloji, beyin cerrahi, genel cerrahi ve kulak burun boğaz bölümlerinden istenen konsültasyon oranları sırasıyla %0,9, %3,5, %6,3, %6,2, %7,7 ve %0,3’tü. Sonuç: Acil tıp Tebriz’de yeni yapılanmasına ve asistan sayısının yetersizliğine rağmen hastalar acil servise girdikten sonra birkaç dakika içine bir hekim tarafından görülmektedirler. Hastaların hekim tarafından ilk görülme süreleri kısa olmaklar birlikte, büyük bölümü bir uzman tarafından da görülmektedir.
