Abstract

Objectives: In this study, our purpose is to search the factors predicted to have influence on mortality in "near-hanging" patients. Materials and Methods: The records of "near hanging" patients presenting to our Emergency Department (ED) between March 2004 and January 2007 were found through computer and manual search of medical records, and examined retrospectively. The following data were extracted: age, gender, marital status, occupation, event zone, administration time, reason of event (homicide or suicide), vital findings, Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), elec-trocardiqgraphy, brain and cervical computed tomography findings, arterial blood gases, complete blood count and biochemical markers. Statistical analyses have been done. Results: In this study, 14 (50%) of 28 patients were men and the remaining 14 (50%) were women. And 11 (39.2%) of the patients who suffered "near hanging" became ex. There was no significant difference.statistical¬ly between age and gender in terms of mortality ratios (p>0.05). Presence of low GCS at the time of admission . (p=0.000), acidosis in arterial blood gases (p=0.041), elevated serum level lactic add.(p-O.OOO), hyoid and cer¬vical vertebra fracture. (p=0.016) and cerebral edema (p=0:018) were found as predicted factors on mortality of the patients with "near hanging". Contrary, normal sinus rhythm was found as decreased factors on mortality of the patients with "near hanging" (p=0.002). Conclusion: Presence of low GCS at the time of admission, acidosis in arterial blood gases, elevated serum level lactic acid, hyoid and cervical vertebra fracture and cerebral edema were found as predicted factors on mor- tality of the patients with "near hanging". Contrary, normal sinus rhythm was found as decreased factors on mortality of the patients with "near hanging".

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışmada, hastanemiz acil servisine "ası nedeniyle" başvuran hastalarda mortalite üzerine etkili faktörlerin araştırılması amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Acil servisimize Mart 2004 ile Ocak 2007 tarihleri arasında "ası" nedeniyle başvuruda bulu¬nan hastalar bilgisayar kayıtlarından tespit edilmiş ve bu hastaların dosyaları arşivimizden bulunarak geriye dönük olarak incelenmiştir. Dosyalardan olguların yaşı, cinsiyeti, medeni durumu, mesleği, olay yeri, başvuru zamanı, oluş nedeni (özkıyım ya da başkası tarafından), vital bulguları, telem izi varlığı, Glaskow Koma Skoru (GKS), Elektrokardiyografi, bilgisayarlı beyin ve boyun tomografisi bulguları, arter kan gazı (AKG), tam kan ve biyokimya değerleri ile ilgili veriler çalışma formlarına aktarılmış ve daha sonra da istatiksel olarak analiz edilmiştir/ Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 28 hastanın %50'si (n=14) erkek, %50'si (n=14) kadındı. Ası nedeniyle başvuran 28 has¬tanın 11'i (%39.2) hayatını kaybetti. Mortalite gelişimi ile hastanın yaşı ve cinsiyeti arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmadı (p>0.05). Geliş anındaki GKS puanının 8 ve altında olması (p=0.000), AKG tetkiklerinde asidoz varlığı (p=0.041), serum laktik asit düzeyinin 4 katından fazla artmış olması (p=0.000), hyoid kemik ve servikal ver¬tebra fraktürünün varlığı (p=0.016), serebral ödemin olması (p=0.018) mortaliteyi artıran faktörler olarak bulundu. Ters olarak başvuru anında normal sinüs ritmi olan hastalarda mortalite oranı düşük bulundu (p=0.002). Sonuç: Acil servise "ası nedeniyle" başvuran hastalardan GKS puanı 8 ve altında olanlar, ilk başvuruda asidozu ve normalin 4 katından fazla artmış laktik asit düzeyi olanlar, hyoid kemik ve servikal vertebra fraktürü olanlar, serebral ödemi olanlar kötü prognoz ve yüksek mortalite oranına sahiptir. Ters olarak başvuru anında normal sinüs ritmi bulu¬nan hastaların prognozu iyi ve mortalite oranları düşüktür.
