Amaç: Bu çalışmada deprem bölgesinden uzakta olmasına karşın hastanemiz acil servislerine başvuran depremzedelerin acil servis iş yüküne etkisi ve ek bir önlem alınmasının gerekip gerekmediği yönünden analiz edilerek gelecekteki olası afetler için güncel bir kaynağın oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır.
Materyal ve Metot: Bu çalışma; Kahramanmaraş depremi sonrası ilk 15 günlük süreçte Sakarya Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi (SEAH) acil servislerine başvuran ve Uluslararası Hastalık Sınıflandırması-10’a göre X34-Depremzede tanısı almış tüm hastaları içermektedir.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen toplam 405 hastanın yaş ortalamaları 20,98 yıl ve %52,6’sının ise kadın olduğu saptandı. Depremzede hastaların, toplam acil servis başvuru sayısına oranı % 1,62 olduğu gözlendi. Kaynak kullanımı bakımından %32,3’üne en az bir laboratuvar istemi yapıldığı, %55,1’ine en az bir görüntüleme tetkiki istendiği, %19’una konsültasyon istendiği ve 353 hastanın ise direkt acil servisten taburcu edildiği tespit edildi.
Sonuç: Deprem sonrası mesafeden bağımsız acil servislere depremzede başvurusu olabilmesine karşın bu sayı oluşturduğu iş yükü bakımından ek bir önlem almayı gerektirecek kadar fazla değildir. Ancak bu çalışmanın, mesafe dikkate alınarak yapılan ilk analiz olmasından dolayı benzer çalışmalar ile desteklenmesi gerekmektedir.

Earthquake Victim Profile in a Hospital Far from the Earthquake Zone: The Case of Sakarya

Öz

Objective: In our study, the effect of earthquake victims who applied to the emergency department (ED) of our hospital, despite being far from the earthquake area, on the workload and the need for additional precautions will be examined. As a result, it is aimed to create a guiding resource for future disasters.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with patients who applied to Sakarya Training and Research Hospital (STRH) Emergency Department within 15 days after the Kahramanmaraş earthquake and were diagnosed as X34-Earthquake Victims according to ICD-10.
Results: The mean age of the 405 patients were 20.98 years, and 52.6% were female. The ratio of the admitted patients to the total number of patients was 1.62%. Regarding resource use, the laboratory was requested for 32.3%, imaging examination for 55.1%, consultation for 19%, and 353 patients were discharged from the emergency department.
Conclusions: Although earthquake victims may apply to the emergency departments regardless of the distance after the earthquake, this number is insufficient to require additional measures regarding the workload it creates. However, since this study is the first analysis based on distance, it should be supported by similar studies.
