Kahramanmaraş ve Hatay Depremleri Sonrasında Çocuk Cerrahisi Kliniği’nde Tedavi Edilen Hastaların Özellikleri: Bir Üniversite Hastanesi Örneği

Öz

Amaç: Bu araştırmada 6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde yaşanan deprem sonrasında Çocuk Cerrahisi Kliniği’nde tedavisi yapılan hastaların özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Retrospektif tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırma, 6 Şubat- 20 Şubat 2023 tarihleri arasında depremden etkilenip, Mersin Üniversitesi Hastanesi Çocuk Cerrahisi Kliniği’ne kabul edilen 43 hasta ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler anket formu ile toplanmıştır. Veriler SPSS paket program kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 10.97±4.65 olup, %55.8’i kızdır. Göçük altında kalma süresi ortalama 16.44±19.12’dir. Hastaların tamamında ekstremite, batın ve toraks travması olup, %37.2’sinde ekstremitede yumuşak doku ezilmesi, %74.4’ünde batın duvarı cilt dermabrazyonu, %46.5’inde ise toraks duvarı cilt dermabrazyonu olmuş, %55.8’inde cerrahi işlem uygulanmış, %48.8’inde komplikasyon gelişmiş, %9.3’üne diyaliz, %18.6’sına eritrosit süspansiyonu uygulanmıştır. Ayrıca araştırmada göçük altında kalma süresi ile komplikasyon görülme durumu arasında anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmemiştir (p>.05). Sonuç: Deprem travmaları genel vücut travmaları içerisinde özellikli bir yere sahiptir. Deprem sonrası gelişen hafif travmalı olgularda dahi morbiditeye neden olabilecek sonuçlar ile karşılaşılabilmektedir. Bu nedenle, tanı ve tedavi süreçleri, deprem travmasına özgü olası komplikasyonlar dikkate alınarak planlanmalıdır.

Characteristics of Patients Treated in the Pediatric Surgery Clinic after the Kahramanmaraş and Hatay Earthquakes: Example of a University Hospital

Öz

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the characteristics of the patients treated in the Pediatric Surgery Clinic after the earthquake on February 6 2023. Method: This retrospective descriptive study was conducted with 43 patients who were affected by the earthquake and admitted to the Mersin University Hospital Pediatric Surgery Clinic between February 6 and 20, 2023. Data were collected with a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the SPSS package. Results: The mean age was 10.97±4.65 years, 55.8% of them were girls. The mean time to stay under the dent is 16.44±19.12. All of the patients had extremity, abdomen, and thorax trauma, 37.2% had soft tissue crushing in the extremity, 74.4% had skin dermabrasion of the abdominal wall, 46.5% had thoracic wall skin dermabrasion, 55.8% underwent a surgical procedure, 48.8% complications developed in of them, dialysis was applied to 9.3%, and erythrocyte suspension was applied to 18.6%. In addition, no significant relationship was found between the duration of being under the dent, and the occurrence of complications (p>.05). Conclusion: Earthquake traumas have a special place among general body traumas. Even in cases with mild trauma after the earthquake, results that may cause morbidity can be encountered. Therefore, diagnosis and treatment processes should be planned by considering possible complications specific to earthquake trauma.
