Abstract

Objective: Burn injuries are among the most important causes of unintentional death in young children. Although most pediatric burns do not cause serious clinical problems, severe burns have a higher mortality rate than adult patients with similar burns. In this study, we aimed to discuss the clinical features of pediatric burn patients hospitalized in the Burn Center of Eskisehir City Hospital.
Materials and Methods: Pediatric patients between 0 and 18 years of age were followed up since August 2023 and were evaluated retrospectively. Patients were evaluated according to age, gender, presence of chronic diseases, parenteral treatment rates, types of burns, total body surface area and the area affected by the burn.
Results: The most common burn type was scald burn with 89.5% (n=246). According to the types of burns, especially scalding and flame burns were found to have a longer hospitalization period than electrical burns. While there was a significant correlation between the percentage of burns and the duration of intensive care unit stay and hospitalization (p=0.001), the number of operations increased as the percentage of burns increased (p=0.072).
Conclusion: Exposure to burns was mostly observed in children aged 0-24 months. Burns may cause more serious consequences in pediatric cases. By looking at the types of burns in pediatric patients according to age groups, we think that burn cases in this age group can be reduced by raising awareness of families and taking precautions.

Yanık Merkezinde Takibi Yapılan Pediatrik Olguların Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Yanık yaralanmaları, küçük çocuklarda, istem dışı ölümlerin en önemli nedenleri arasında yer almaktadır. Pediatrik yanıkların çoğu ciddi klinik sorunlara yol açmamakla birlikte, ciddi yanıklarda benzer yanıklara sahip erişkin yaş grubu olgulara göre göre daha yüksek mortaliteye sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, Eskişehir Şehir Hastanesi Yanık Merkezi'nde yatan çocuk yanık hastalarının klinik özelliklerini tartışmayı amaçladık.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Eskişehir Şehir Hastanesi Yanık Merkezinde Ağustos 2023 tarihinden itibaren takip edilen 0 ile 18 yaş arasındaki pediatrik hastalar retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastalar yaş, cinsiyet, kronik hastalık varlığı, parenteral tedavi oranları, yanık tipleri, toplam vücut yüzey alanı ve yanıktan etkilenen alana göre sınıflandırıldı.
Bulgular: En sık yanık türü %89,5 (n= 246) ile haşlanma yanığı idi. Yanık türlerine göre özellikle haşlanma ve alev yanıklarında elektrik yanıklarına göre yatış süresinin daha uzun olduğu saptandı. Yanık yüzdesi ile yoğun bakım yatış süresi ve hastane yatış süresi arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanırken (p=0,001), yanık yüzdesi arttıkça operasyon sayısının da artış gösterdiği belirlendi (p=0,072).
Sonuç: Yanık maruziyeti en çok 0-24 ay arası çocuklarda görülmektedir. Yanıklar pediatrik olgularda daha ciddi sonuçlara yol açabilmektedir. Çocuk hastalarda yanık tiplerine ve yaş gruplarına göre bakıldığında ailelerin bilinçlendirilmesi ve önlem alınması ile bu yaş grubundaki yanık vakalarının azaltılabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
