Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, travmatik pnömotoraks gelişen çocukların demografik özelliklerini, klinik karakteristiklerini, uygulanan tedavi yöntemlerini değerlendirmek ve konuyla ilgili tecrübelerimizi paylaşmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Travmatik pnömotoraks nedeniyle tedavi edilen çocukların dosyaları retrospektif olarak tarandı. Hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, travmanın mekanizmaları, nedeni, pnömotoraks olan taraf, pnömotoraksın izole olup olmadığı, yatış süreleri, tedavi yöntemleri, göğüs tüpü süresi, mekanik ventilatöre bağlanıp bağlanmadığı, eşlik eden diğer sistem travmaları araştırıldı. Kız ve erkek cinsiyet arasında, önce künt ve penetran travmalar ardından izole ve izole olmayan toraks travmaları arasındaki farklılıklar araştırıldı. İstatistiksel analiz SPSS versiyon 21 ile yapıldı. İstatistiksel olarak p<0,05 anlamlı olarak kabul edildi.
Bulgular: Travmatik pnömotoraks gelişen 60 hastanın 37’si erkek ve yaş ortalamaları 9.9 yıldı. Yoğun bakım ünitesinde ortalama yatış süreleri 8.2 gün, serviste 7.3 gün, toplam hastanede yatış süreleri ise 12.4 gün idi. Kırk sekiz hastada künt, 12 hastada ise penetran travma görüldü. Hastaların 16’sında izole travmatik pnömotoraks görülürken 37’sinde pulmoner kontüzyon eşlik etmekteydi. Otuz dört hastaya konservatif tedavi, 24’üne tüp torakostomi, iki hastaya torakotomi, bir hastaya da torakoskopi yapıldı. Dört hasta mekanik ventilatöre bağlandı. Travmatik pnömototoraks en sık 4-7 yaş ve 16-18 yaşları arasında görüldü. Her iki cinsiyette de yüksekten düşme en sık travma nedeni olmasına rağmen erkek hastalarda penetran travmalar daha çok görüldü. Penetran travmalı çocukların hepsi 12 yaşından büyüktü. Toraks travmalarına en sık eşlik eden akciğer hasarı pulmoner kontüzyon, en sık eşlik eden diğer sistem yaralanması ise kafa travmasıydı. Yüksekten düşme sonucu yaralanan bir hasta kaybedildi.
Sonuç: Çocuklarda görülen travmatik pnömotoraksların çoğu evde gelişen önlenebilir kazalar sonucu meydana gelmektedir. Bunların önlenmesi için evlerde gerekli önlemlerin alınmasının yanı sıra, aileler ve çocuklara yönelik eğitimler yapılmalıdır. Okült ve mekanik ventilatöre ihtiyaç duymayacak olan asemptomatik izole travmatik pnömotoraks olgularında konservatif tedavi, ilk uygulanacak tedavi olmalıdır. Bu hastalar sıkı takip edilip gerektiğinde tüp torakostomi uygulanmalıdır.

Traumatic Pneumothorax in Children; Experience of A Pediatric Trauma Center

Abstract

Objective: Aim of our study is to evaluate the demographic and clinical characteristics and treatment modalities of children with traumatic pneumothorax and to share our experiences.
Material and Methods: Files of children treated for traumatic pneumothorax were retrospectively reviewed. Age, gender, mechanism of trauma, causes, side of pneumothorax, length-of-stay in hospital, treatment modalities, chest-tube duration, need for mechanical ventilation and other accompanying traumas were investigated. Differences between genders, blunt and penetrating traumas, and isolated and non-isolated thoracic traumas were investigated, respectively. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS version 21. p<0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Of 60 patients, 37 were male and mean age was 9.9 years. Average length-of-stay in intensive care unit was 8.2, length-of-stay in ward was 7.3, and the total length-of-stay in the hospital was 12.4 days. Forty-eight had blunt and 12 had penetrating trauma. Isolated-traumatic pneumothorax was observed in 16, pulmonary contusion was accompanying in 37 patients. Thirty-four underwent conservative treatment, 24 underwent tube thoracostomy, two thoracotomy, and one thoracoscopy. Four patients were connected to mechanical ventilator. Although falling from height was the most common cause of trauma in both genders, penetrating traumas were more common in males. All children with penetrating trauma were over 12 years. The most common accompanying lung injury to thoracic trauma was pulmonary contusion, and the most common accompanying trauma from the other system injuries was head trauma. One-patient who was admitted due to falling died.
Conclusion: Most traumatic pneumothoraces in children occur as a result of preventable home-accidents. In order to prevent these, education of families and children should be provided as well as taking necessary measures at home. Conservative treatment should be the first treatment in occult and asymptomatic isolated-traumatic pneumothorax cases that do not require mechanical ventilation. These patients should be closely monitored and tube-thoracostomy performed when necessary.
