Burn cases that are hospitalized in Şanlıurfa Education & Research Hospital

Özet Abstract Amaç: Yanık nedeniyle acil servisimize başvurup yatarak tedavi edilen hastaların epidemiyolojik özelliklerinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Yöntem: Şanlıurfa Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi acil servisine 01.01.2012–31.12.2012 tarihleri arasında yanık nedeniyle başvurup yatırılarak tedavi verilen 636 hastanın bilgileri geriye dönük olarak tarandı. Hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, yanık nedenleri, anatomik olarak yanık lokalizasyonları, toplam yanan vücut yüzey alanları, akıbetleri, yattıkları servisler ve yatış süreleri ile ilgili veriler kaydedilerek analizi yapıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların 383 (%60.2)’ ü erkek idi. Yaş ortalamaları 10.8 idi. Yanıkların 441 (%69.4)’ i sıcak sıvılar ile gelişmişti. Hastaların 568 (%89,3)’ unda 2-3. derece yanık mevcuttu. Hastaların ortalama yanan vücut yüzey alanı %14.72 idi. En sık yanığa maruz kalan vücut bölgesi üst ekstremitelerdi. Sonuç: Yanıklar daha çok erkeklerde ve çocuklarda görülmektedir. Ekstremiteler yanıktan diğer bölgelere göre daha fazla etkilenmektedir. Yanıkların çoğu sıcak sıvılara bağlı olup, yoğun bakıma yatış en sık elektrik yanıklarında görülmektedir. Objective: The aim of this study is to search the epidemiologic characteristics of burns in the patients that are admitted with burn to the emergency department and hospitalized. Method: The hospital records of 636 patients that are admitted with burn to the emergency department in 2012 and hospitalized in Sanlıurfa Education and Research Hospital, were investigated. Age, sex, burn causes, burn degree, anatomic localizations of burns, burn rate, and hospitalization duration were examined. Results: 383 (60,2%) of the patients were male. The mean age was 10,8. 441 (69,4%) of the burns were aroused from hot liquids. 568 of the patients had 2 to 3 degree burns. Mean burned body area was 14.72%. The most seen burn location was upper extremities. Conclusion: Burns are seen mostly in men and children. Extremities are effected more than other parts of the body. Burns are mostly caused by hot liquids and the most frequent cause of burn that should be followed in intensive care unit was electrical injuries.
