About

In this study, the demographic and clinical characteristics of trauma patients followed up in the Intensive Care Unit of the Anesthesiology and Reanimation Clinic of the Health Sciences University Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital for a 2-year period were evaluated prospectively to determine the morbidity and mortality rates and to determine the factors affecting these rates. data.

Full description

Trauma is an important health problem that causes increased morbidity and mortality. Most of the patients are taken into intensive care and followed up in intensive care with severe and multitrauma and constitute an important part of the critical diseases followed in the intensive care unit. At the same time, these fatal injuries cause a serious public health problem both economically and socially.

According to World Health Organization data, 5.8 million people die each year due to trauma. Trauma is seen more frequently at a young age and the most common cause is motor vehicle accidents and it is the first cause of death between 1-44 years. There is a strong relationship between deaths caused by trauma and factors such as age, gender, cause of trauma, and trauma area. In addition, the duration of ICU and mechanical ventilator stay, supportive treatments, trauma scores, and scores such as APACHE 2 and SOFA routinely used in intensive care have been shown to be strongly associated with mortality.

Therefore, the demographic data, trauma scores, mechanical ventilator requirement, renal failure, inotropic need, intensive care scores such as APACHE 2, SOFA, re-operation, re-operation, intensive care stay, blood replacement need, wound infection and morbidity and mortality in trauma patients will be effective.
