Abstract

Objective: Since Türkiye has a geography located on fault lines, the possibility of an earthquake occurring in this region will always continue to exist. After an earthquake, a variety of traumas can occur. Thoracic traumas are also injuries frequently experienced in case of earthquakes.

Material and Methods: At Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University Thoracic Surgery Clinic, 124 patients were examined, including pre-earthquake and post-earthquake chest trauma. The pre-earthquake group was called Group 1, and the post-earthquake group was called Group 2. Gender, age, type of trauma of the patients as well as the file records of traumas were examined.

Results: The frequency of trauma increased in men compared to women. There was a significant increase in hemothorax cases. It was observed that blunt trauma etiology was again the most common cause of trauma, but the etiology of blunt trauma increased in favor of falling from a height.

Conclusion: It is planned to eliminate the housing problem in time and intensive work is being carried out in the region on this issue. We believe that with the decrease in the intensity of construction work and the beginning of reverse migration, these changing differences in the etiologies of trauma after the earthquake will return to the pre-earthquake period in time.

Deprem Sonrası Toraks Travmalarında Etiyolojik Farklılıklar

Abstract

Amaç: Türkiye fay hatları üzerinde bulunan bir coğrafyaya sahip olduğundan, bu bölgede deprem olma olasılığı her zaman var olmaya devam edecektir. Bir depremden sonra çeşitli travmalar meydana gelebilir. Torasik travmalar da depremlerde sıklıkla yaşanan yaralanmalardır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi Göğüs Cerrahisi Kliniği'nde deprem öncesi ve deprem sonrası toraks travmaları olmak üzere 124 hasta incelendi. Deprem öncesi grup, grup 1; deprem sonrası grup ise grup 2 olarak adlandırıldı. Hastaların cinsiyeti, yaşı, travma tipi ve travmaların dosya kayıtları incelendi.
Bulgular: Erkeklerde travma sıklığı kadınlara göre artmıştır. Hemotoraks vakalarında anlamlı artış görülmüştür. Künt travma etiyolojisinin yine en sık travma nedeni olduğu ancak künt travma etiyolojisinin yüksekten düşme lehine arttığı görülmüştür.
Sonuç: Konut sorununun zamanla ortadan kaldırılması planlanmakta ve bölgede bu konuda yoğun çalışmalar yürütülmektedir. İnşaat çalışmalarının yoğunluğunun azalması ve ters göçün başlamasıyla birlikte, deprem sonrası travma etyolojilerindeki bu değişen farklılıkların zamanla deprem öncesi döneme döneceğine inanıyoruz.
