Catheter Thoracostomy: Our 5 Years of Clinical Experience

Year 2021, Volume: 18 Issue: 2, 269 - 272, 27.08.2021

Abstract

Background: It was aimed to retrospectively examine the data of patients who underwent catheter thoracostomy to determine their demographic and clinical characteristics and to evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure.
Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 613 catheter thoracostomy procedures performed at the Health Practice and Research Center between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017.
Results: Five hundred and sixty-seven (92.5%) were unilateral and 46 (7.5%) were bilateral catheter thoracostomy. Three hundred and seventy-seven (61.5%) procedures were performed on male patients and 236 (38.5%) procedures were performed on female patients. The mean age was 68 ± 16 (13-105 years old). The operation indications were 202 (33%) thoracic malignancies, 98 (16%) extrathoracic malignancies, and benign pathologies in 313 (51%) patients.
Conclusions: Catheter thoracostomy procedure is being used more and more every day in the treatment of pleural effusions due to patient comfort, ease of application and low cost.

Key Words: Effusion, Catheter thoracostomy, Pleura

Katater Torakostomi: 5 Yıllık Klinik Deneyimimiz

Year 2021, Volume: 18 Issue: 2, 269 - 272, 27.08.2021

Abstract

Amaç: Kateter torakostomi uygulanan hastaların verilerini retrospektif olarak inceleyerek demografik ve klinik özelliklerini belirlemek ve işlemin etkinliği ile ilgili değerlendirmelerde bulunmak amaçlandı.
Materyal ve Metod: 1 Ocak 2013- 31 Aralık 2017 tarihleri arasında Sağlık Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezinde uygulanan 613 adet kateter torakostomi işlemini retrospektif olarak değerlendirdik.
Bulgular: Beş yüz altmış yedi (%92.5)’si unilateral, 46 (%7.5)’sı ise bilateral kateter torakostomi idi. Üç yüz yetmiş yedi (%61.5) işlem erkek hastalara, 236 (%38.5) işlem ise kadın hastalara yapıldı. Ortalama yaş 68±16 (13-105 yaş aralığında) idi. İşlem endikasyonları ise 202 (%33) torasik malignensiler, 98 (%16) ekstratorasik malignensiler, 313 (%51) hastada ise benign patolojilerdi.
Sonuç: Kateter torakostomi işlemi plevra efüzyonların tedavisinde hasta konforu, uygulama kolaylığı ve düşük maliyet nedeniyle her geçen gün daha fazla kullanılmaktadır.

Anahtar kelimeler: Efüzyon, Kateter torakostomi, Plevra
