Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the change in frontal QRS-T angle in different clinical stages of scorpion stings. Materials-Method: In this retrospective study, laboratory data of patients and T angle, QRS duration (ms), QT duration (ms), and QTc duration (ms) of the patients who presented with scorpion sting were calculated and recorded in the data file. The results were analyzed. Findings: Eighty patients who applied to the emergency department with the complaint of scorpion sting were included in our study. Forty-four patients were evaluated as Stage I, 26 as Stage II, and 10 as Stage III. The patient groups did not differ in age (p = 0.605) and sex (p = 0.432). No significant difference was observed between the laboratory findings of the patients at the time of admission. ECG findings showed a considerable difference in frontal QRS-T angles between scorpion sting stages (p

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı, akrep sokmalarının farklı klinik evrelerinde frontal QRS-T açısındaki değişimi araştırmaktır. Gereç-Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmada akrep sokması ile başvuran hastaların laboratuvar verileri ile T açısı, QRS süresi (ms), QT süresi (ms), QTc süresi (ms) hesaplanarak veri dosyasına kaydedilmiştir. Sonuçlar analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmamıza akrep sokması şikayeti ile acil servise başvuran 80 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların 44'ü Evre I, 26'sı Evre II ve 10'u Evre III olarak değerlendirildi. Hasta grupları arasında yaş (p=0.605) ve cinsiyet (p=0.432) açısından fark yoktu. Hastaların başvuru anındaki laboratuvar bulguları arasında anlamlı fark izlenmedi. Elektrokardiyografi (EKG) bulguları, akrep sokması evreleri arasında frontal QRS-T açılarında anlamlı farklılık gösterdi (p
