Abstract

Aim: For pediatric dentists, meeting the dental treatment needs of young children is often a challenge. Behavioral management techniques may be ineffective in underage children or children with special needs. Therefore, general anesthesia (GA) is required for dental rehabilitation of uncooperative children.
The aim of this study was to examine the patient population treated under General Anesthesia (GA) in terms of age, gender, ASA Score (American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification System), duration of anesthesia, duration of operation and the presence of systemic diseases of the patients.
Material and Methods: In this study, 238 patients aged 2-15 years who underwent dental treatment in the General Anesthesia Operating Room of Selçuk University Faculty of Dentistry were included. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to indications for general anesthesia. Medical health status and ASA scores were analysed. Patients were also evaluated according to age, gender, duration of anesthesia and duration of dental treatment.
Results: According to results, the mean age (years) and weight (kg) of the patients were 5,4 and 19,7, respectively. The gender distribution of the patients was 125 female (52,55%) and 113 male (47,5%). The number of ASA I patients was 213 (89,6%) and ASA II patients was 25 (10,5%). In terms of duration of anesthesia, 24 patients were treated in less than 60 minutes (min), 132 patients in 60-120 min and 82 patients in 120-180 min.
Conclusion: Dental treatment operating rooms with inpatient services can serve more different patient groups.

Hastaya Özgü Değişkenlerin Çocuklarda Genel Anestezi Altında Diş Tedavisi İhtiyacına Etkisi: Retrospektif Çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Çocuk diş hekimleri için küçük çocukların diş tedavi ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak genellikle zorlu bir süreçtir. Davranış yönlendirme teknikleri, küçük yaşlardaki çocuklar veya özel gereksinimli çocuklarda etkisiz olabilmektedir. Bu nedenle, iş birliği yapmayan çocukların diş tedavileri için genel anestezi (GA) gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, GA altında tedavi edilen hasta grubunu yaş, cinsiyet, ASA Skoru (Amerikan Anesteziyologlar Derneği Fiziksel Durum Sınıflandırma Sistemi), anestezi süresi, operasyon süresi ve hastaların sistemik hastalıklarının varlığı açısından incelemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya, Selçuk Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Genel Anestezi Ameliyathanesi'nde diş tedavisi yapılan 2-15 yaş arası 238 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Hastalar, genel anestezi endikasyonlarına göre 2 gruba ayrılmıştır. Hastaların tıbbi sağlık durumu ve ASA skorları analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca, hastalar yaş, cinsiyet, anestezi süresi ve diş tedavi süresi açısından da değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Sonuçlara göre, hastaların ortalama yaşı (yıl) 5,4 ve ortalama ağırlığı (kg) 19,7 olarak belirlenmiştir. Hastaların cinsiyet dağılımı 125 kadın (%52,55) ve 113 erkek (%47,5) şeklindedir. ASA I grubundaki hasta sayısı 213 (%89,6), ASA II grubundaki hasta sayısı ise 25 (%10,5) olarak kaydedilmiştir. Anestezi süresi açısından bakıldığında, 24 hasta 60 dakikadan kısa, 132 hasta 60-120 dakika ve 82 hasta 120-180 dakika aralığında tedavi edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, hastaların çoğunlukla ASA I sınıfında yer almasının, ameliyathane biriminde günübirlik genel anestezi hizmeti sunulmasından kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir. Yataklı servisi bulunan diş tedavisi ameliyathanelerinin ise daha geniş bir hasta grubuna hizmet verebileceği öngörülmek.
