Evaluation of Poisoning Case Followed in Intensive Care Units: Eskisehir Study

Abstract

Aim: In this study, we aimed to retrospectively evaluate poisoning cases followed in tertiary care between 2019 and 2020. Materials and Methods: 2726 cases followed between January 2019 and December 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. 154 (5.65%) of these cases were identified as poisoning cases. Cases under the age of 18 and chronic poisoning cases were not included in the study. Results: A total of 154 cases, 87 women and 67 men, were retrospectively analyzed. The mean age of the patients was found to be 37.11 ± 15.7 years. 106 cases were recorded as suicide, 42 cases as accidental and 6 cases as poisoning due to overdose. Conclusion: The highest poisoning agent was found to be drug. The fact that the cause of poisoning is the highest rate of drugs suggests that issues such as educating the public about drug use, reducing the sale of over-the-counter drugs and not keeping drugs within the reach of everyone should be taken into consideration.
