Abstract

BACKGROUND: Turkey is an experienced country for both military and civilian mass casualties that arise from explosions andshootings by various terrorist groups. In this study, we aimed to investigate the characteristics of patient flow admitted to our hospitalcaused by primarily gunshot wounds during the coup attempts on the 15th of July.METHODS: This descriptive, retrospective study included a total of 50 patients who were injured during a coup attempt on thedate of July 15, 2016, and admitted to our emergency department (ED). Demographic characteristics, anatomical injury sites, postoperative clinical outcomes, and hospitalization settings were recorded. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Trauma and Injury SeverityScore (TRISS), Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS), Revised Trauma Score (RTS) and Injury Severity Score (ISS) were used to measure theseverity of injuries.RESULTS: A total of 63 medical personnel voluntarily reached the ED within two hours. Extremity injuries were the most common injuries. The mean RTS, GCS, and TRISS scores did not differ significantly between the patients discharged from the ED andthe patients who were hospitalized (p>0.05). However, there was a statistically significant difference in the ISS scores (p0.05 and p

Özet

AMAÇ: Türkiye, bombalama ve ateşli silah eylemleri gibi terörist saldırılarından kaynaklanan askeri ve sivil kitlesel yaralanmalar konusunda deneyimli bir ülkedir. Bu çalışmada, 15 Temmuz 2016’da gerçekleşen darbe girişiminde, ön planda ateşli silah yaralanmaları nedeniyle hastanemize başvuran hastaların ve hasta akışının özelliklerini araştırmayı amaçladık. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Bu tanımlayıcı, geriye dönük çalışmamıza 15 Temmuz 2016 tarihinde darbe girişimi sırasında yaralanan ve acil servisimize başvuran toplam 50 hasta alındı. Hastaların demografik özellikleri, anatomik yaralanma bölgeleri, ameliyat sonrası klinik sonuçları ve hastanede yatış özellikleri araştırıldı. Yaralanma şiddetini ölçmek için Glasgow Koma Skoru (GCS), Travma ve Yaralanma Şiddet Skoru (TRISS), Kısaltılmış Yaralanma Skoru (AIS), Düzeltilmiş Travma Skoru (RTS) ve Yaralanma Şiddet Skoru (ISS) kullanıldı. BULGULAR: Hastaların tamamına yakını erkekti (49:1). En sık yaralanma, ekstremite yaralanmasıydı (%53). Acil servisten taburcu edilen hastalar ile hastaneye yatırılan hastaların RTS, GCS ve TRISS skorları ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel anlamlı bir fark saptanmazken (p>0.05), ISS skoru hastanede yatanlarda daha yüksek saptandı (p
