It was detected that 80.6% of the patients were poisoned with a single agent and 75.2% took the agent orally. The most common poisoning agents are drugs (41.9%, n=238), food products (28.9%, n=164), carbonmonoxide (CO) (21.8%, n=124). 76.2% of the patients were discharged from the hospital, 20.6% were hospitalized and 7.3% were sent to another hospital.

Özet

Giriş: Zehirlenmeler acil servise önemli başvuru nedenlerinden biridir. Özellikle gençlerde ve kadınlarda sık görülmektedir. Bu çalışma ile hastanemize başvuran zehirlenme olgularının klinik ve demografik özelliklerinin tanımlanması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2005-Nisan 2006 tarihleri arasında Ankara Atatürk Hastanesi Acil servisine başvuran zehirlenme olguları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Hastaların demografik özellikleri, zehirlenme etkeni, zehirlenme etkeninin ne amaçla alındığı, başvuru süresi, uygulanan tedaviler, istenen konsültasyonlar, acil serviste kalış süresi, sonuç kaydedildi. Veriler ortalama ± standart sapma, ortanca ve % ile belirtildi. Bulgular: Bu dönemde acil servis başvurularının %0.7'sinin zehirlenme olduğu görüldü. Çalışmaya toplam 568 hasta alındı. Ortalama yaş 28.3±13.2 idi. Hastaların %43'ü erkek (n=244), %57'si (n=324) kadındı. Hastaneye başvuru süreleri ortalama 155.6+103.1 dakika idi. Hastaların %80.6'sı tek etkenle zehirlenmişti ve %75.2'si etkeni oral yolla almıştı. En sık zehirlenme nedenleri sırayla ilaçlar %41.9 (n=238), gıda maddeleri %28.9 (n=164), karbonmonoksit gazı (CO) %21.8 (n=124) idi. Hastaların %76.2'si taburcu edilirken, %7.3'ü sevk edildi, %20.6'sı yatırılarak tedavi edildi. Bir hasta CO zehirlenmesi nedeniyle yoğun bakımda hayatını kaybetti. Sonuç: Zehirlenme olgularının genellikle genç kadınlarda, tek etkenle oluştuğu ve klinik olarak iyi bakım gerektirdiği görülmüştür.
