Abstract

Amaç: Pediatrik kritik bakım tıbbındaki hızlı gelişme nedeniyle, geçmişteki bazı araştırmalar, pediatrik travma hastalarının daha düşük mortalite ve daha kısa hastanede kalış süresi gibi daha iyi sonuçlara sahip olduğunu ileri sürmüştür. Bununla birlikte, çoğu gelişmekte olan ülkede, pediatrik travma merkezleri çok azdır veya hiç yoktur. Bu çalışmada travma nedeniyle çocuk yoğun bakım ünitemizde (ÇYBÜ) yatan çocukların demografik, klinik özellikleri, yaralanma mekanizmaları ve sonuçlarını tanımlamayı amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntem :Ağustos 2020 - Şubat 2022 tarihleri ​​arasında Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi, Sancaktepe Şehit Prof. Dr. İlhan Varank Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi ÇYBÜ’ne başvuran 60 pediatrik travma hastası (0-16 yaş arası) retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi.
Bulgular :ÇYBB’mizde toplam 60 çocuk travma hastası takip edildi. Hastaların medyan yaşı 17 (0-724) aydı ve erkek olgular çoğunluktaydı (n:38, %63,3). ÇYBÜ’de medyan yatış süresi 6 (1-46) gündü. Travma tipine göre yaralanmanın büyük kısmı yüksekten düşme (n:37, %61,7) idi. Travmaya bağlı genel ölüm oranı %13.3 idi.
Sonuç: Düşmeye bağlı kafa travmalarının çok yaygın olduğuna ve mortaliteyi etkilediğine dikkat çekmek isteriz. Mortalite ile laktat, laktat/albümin oranı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulduk. Kritik hasta pediatrik hastalarda laktat/albümin oranının mortalite ile ilişkisine yönelik çalışmalar olmasına rağmen literatürde pediatrik travma hastalarında bu konuda herhangi bir veri bulamadık. Çalışmamız pediatrik travma hastalarında laktat/albümin oranı ile mortalite arasındaki ilişki ile ilgili literatüre katkı sağlayacaktır. Vaka sayısı fazla olan pediatrik travma hastalarında laktat/albümin oranı ile mortalite arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılmasını öneriyoruz.

Retrospective evaluation of pediatric trauma patients: a single-center experience of a tertiary pediatric intensive care unit

Abstract

Aim: Due to the rapid development in pediatric critical care medicine, some past studies suggested that pediatric trauma patients have better outcomes such as lower mortality and lower length of hospital stay in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). In this study, we aim to describe the demographic, clinical features, mechanisms of injury, and outcomes of children hospitalized in our pediatric intensive care unit due to trauma.
Material and Method: We performed a retrospective evaluation of 60 pediatric trauma patients (between 0 and16 years of age) admitted to the PICU at University of Health Science, Sancaktepe Sehit Prof. Dr. İlhan Varank Training and Research Hospital from August 2020 to February 2022.
Results: A total of 60 pediatric trauma patients were followed up in our PICU. The median age of patients was 17 (0-724) months with a preponderance of male cases (n:38, 63.3%). The median duration of hospitalization in PICU was 6 (1-46) days. According to the trauma type, the majority of the injuries were falling from a height (n:37, 61.7%).
Conclusion: We would like to draw attention to the fact that head traumas due to falling were so common and also affect mortality. The lactate and the lactate/albumin ratio ​​of patients who developed mortality were significantly higher. Although there are studies on the association of lactate/albumin ratio with mortality in critically ill pediatric patients, we could not find any data on this issue in pediatric trauma patients in the literature. Our study will contribute to the literature on the relationship between lactate/albumin ratio and mortality in pediatric trauma patients. We suggest that the relationship between lactate/albumin ratio and mortality should be investigated in pediatric trauma patients with larger case numbers.
