Clinical Evaluation of Pediatric Age Group Patients Followed in Burn Unit

Öz

Background: The aim of this study was to discuss the clinical features of all pediatric patients followed in the burn unit in Sanliurfa. Methods: The clinical data of 274 pediatric patients hospitalized in the burn unit between January 2019 and November 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Results: Of the 274 cases followed in the burn unit, 57.7% were male and 42.3% were female. The mean age of the patients was 40.27 ± 41.56 months. Liquids such as tea, milk, hot water, 83.8%, 12.8%, fire, electric shock in 2.6% and hot objects in 1.5% were the causes of burns. Wound dressing and medical treatment were applied to 27% of the patients, debridement was applied additionally to the wound dressing and medical treatment in 61.7% of the patients, while skin grafting was performed in 11.3% of the patients. Conclusion: It is seen that pediatric burn cases are frequently between 1 and 6 years old and boys are exposed to burns more frequently than girls. It should be taken into consideration that both gram-negative and gram-positive infectious agents can be seen in burn cases due to impaired skin integrity.

Yanık Ünitesinde Takip Edilen Pediatrik Yaş Grubu Olguların Klinik Değerlendirmesi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Şanlıurfa ilinde yanık ünitesinde takip edilen pediatrik yaş grubu tüm olguların klinik özelliklerinin tartışılmasıdır. Materyal ve Metot: Ocak 2019 ile Kasım 2019 tarihleri arasında yanık ünitesinde yatırılarak takip edilen pediatrik yaş grubu 274 olgunun klinik verileri geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Yanık ünitesinde takip edilen 274 olgunun % 57.7’si erkek iken % 42.3’ü kadındı. Olguların ortalama yaşı 40.27±41.56 ay idi. Olguların % 83.2’sinde çay, süt, sıcak su gibi sıvılar, % 12.8’inde yangın, % 2.6’sında elektrik çarpması ve % 1.5’unda ise sıcak objeler yanık sebeplerini oluşturmaktaydı. Olguların % 27’sine yara pansumanı ve medikal tedavi, % 61.7’sine yara pansumanı ve medikal tedaviye ilave olarak debritman işlemi uygulanırken olguların % 11.3’ünde deri grefti işlemi uygulanmıştı. Sonuç: Pediatrik yaş grubu yanık olgularının sıklıkla 1-6 yaş arasında olduğu ve erkek çocukların kız çocuklarına göre daha sık yanık etkenine maruz kaldığı görülmektedir. Deri bütünlüğü bozulduğundan dolayı yanık olgularında hem gram-negatif hem de gram-pozitif enfeksiyon etkenlerinin görülebileceği göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
