Abstract

Aim:

Prolonged
stay in intensive care unit is associated with a high risk of mortality.
Predictability of it is important to reduce mortality. The aim of this study is
to determine the factors affecting prolonged stay in secondary general surgery
intensive care unit.

Materials
and Methods:

Between
January 2014 and October 2017, 68 patients with prolonged stay undergoing
general surgery ICU follow-up in the postoperative period after the general surgical
procedure and the same number of randomly selected patients with similar
characteristics were compared in two groups

Results:

The
median age of the patients with prolonged stay was 69,00 (22,50) and the median
age of the patients in the control group was 59,00 (14,75) (p < 0,001).In prolonged stay group, 59 patients underwent abdominal
emergency surgery, and 9 patients underwent abdominal elective surgery. The
number of patients undergoing abdominal emergency procedures in the control
group was 23, and the number of patients undergoing abdominal elective
procedure was 45 ( p=0,001). Fourty eight
of the patients in the prolonged stay
group
had mortality, 7 of the patients
in the control group had mortality (p=0,001).  As
a result of multivariate analysis; in the prolonged stay group, emergency
abdominal surgical procedure rate (p <0.001) (Odds ratio:12.983), age (p =
0.006) (Odds ratio:0.96) and mortality rate (p <0.001) (Odds ratio: 20,91)
was found to be statistically significant.

Conclusion: .

Emergency
abdominal surgical procedure, age and high mortality rate are associated with
prolonged stay.

Genel Cerrahi Yoğun Bakımda Postoperatif Dönemde Uzamış Yatış Süresine Etki Eden Faktörler

Abstract

Amaç:

Yoğun
bakımda uzamış yatış süresi, yüksek mortalite riski ile ilişikilidir. Bunu
öngörmek, mortaliteyi azaltmak amacıyla önemlidir. İkinci basamak genel cerrahi yoğun
bakımda uzamış yatış süresine etki eden faktörleri saptamayı amaçladık.

 

Gereç ve Yöntem:

Ocak
2014 - Ekim 2017 tarihleri arasında, genel cerrahi prosedür sonrası
postoperatif dönemde genel cerrahi yoğun bakım takibine alınan hastalardan
uzamış yatış süresine sahip 68 hasta ve bu hastalar ile benzer özellikte
randomize olarak seçilmiş aynı sayıdaki hastalar iki grup şeklinde
karşılaştırmalı olarak incelendi

 

Bulgular:

Uzamış
yatış süresi olan hastaların median yaşı 69,00(22,50) iken kontrol
grubundaki hastaların median yaşı 59,00(14,75) idir (p < 0,001). Uzamış yatış süresi grubundaki hastalardan 59 tanesine
abdominal acil cerrahi prosedür, 9 tanesine abdominal elektif cerrahi prosedür,
uygulandı. Kontrol grubundaki hastalardan abdominal acil prosedür uygulanan
hasta sayısı 23, abdominal elektif prosedür uygulanan hasta sayısı 45 idi (
p=0,001). Uzamış yatış süresi grubundaki hastalardan 48’inde mortalite
gelişirken, diğer gruptaki hastaladan 7’sinde mortalite gelişmiştir (p=0,001). Yapılan multivariate analizleri sonucunda; uzamış yatış
grubunda acil abdominal cerrahi prosedür uygulaması (p<0,001) (Odds
ratio:12.983), yaş ( p= 0.006) (Odds ratio:0.96) , mortalite  oranı (p<0,001) (Odds ratio:20,91) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek
bulunmuştur.

Sonuç:

Acil
abdominal cerrahi prosedür uygulaması, yaş ve yüksek mortalite oranı, uzamış
yatış süresi ile ilişkilendirilmiştir.
