    Introduction: The early detection of critically ill patients together with the rapid initiation of effective treatment in emergency departments(ED) increase the survival rates.Aim: This study investigated whether a correlation exists between haemodynamic parameters of critically ill patients and the diameter of the inferior vena cava (IVC).Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed included patients aged >= 18 years with an unstable haemodynamic and/or respiratory status who were referred to the ED for non-traumatic issues. IVC diameters were measured by ultrasound (US) and then central venous pressures (CVP) were measured. Anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) diameters of the IVC, both in the inspirium (IAP, IML) and expirium (EAP, EML), were measured by US.Results: 102 patients were evaluated with a median age of 59. The relationship between the diameters of IVC and CVP was evaluated and significant correlation was found in IAP, EAP according to CVP values (p<0.001). ROC analyses were performed and significant relationship was found between the EAP diameter with haemoglobin (Hmg), haemotocrit (Hct), and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) and also significant correlation was detected between the IAP diameter and white blood cell (WBC).Discussion: We detected significant correlation between the CVP and the IVC diameter in our study compatible with recent studies besides, significant correlation was found between the diameter of the IVC and CVP values as well as between the EAP diameter and Hmg, Hct, ScvO2 levels.Conclusion: Measurement of IVC diameters, especially EAP may be useful at the monitoring of critically ill patients in ED.

    The comparison of the relationship between haematuria severity and analgesia in renal colic patients
    (Galenos Yayınevi, 2013-12-01) Kocabaş, Egemen; Armağan, Erol; Kulaç, Semih; Çıldır, Ergün; Küfeciler, Tarkan; Pozam, Suna Eraybar; ARMAĞAN, EROL; Pozam, Suna Eraybar; Tıp Fakültesi; Acil Servis Bölümü; AAH-8846-2021; CAI-1624-2022
    Objective: Patients with Renal colic attack are usually admitted to hospital due to single-sided, sharp and sudden localised pain. 90% of patients have haematuria. Some analgesics might be used alone or in combination. This study was conducted to establish the relationship between haematuria severity determined in renal colic patients admitted to the ED and the efficacy of intramuscular (IM) non-steroid analgesic application.Material and Methods: The study was carried out prospectively in the Emergency Department. A total of 87 out of the possible 106 patients were included in the study. Pain severity was measured in accordance with the "Visual Analogue Scale" (VAS). Urine samples from patients were first evaluated macroscopically and then microscopically after being centrifuged to determine Erythrocyte count/hpf (high power field). VAS pain severity of patients who received 75 mg/3 mL Diclofenac sodium IM as an analgesic was measured and recorded at the time of admission; the measurements were repeated 20, 30 and 45 minutes after the analgesic was given.Results: When the score differences were examined between VAS values at the time of admission of patients and at 20, 30, and 45 mins after analgesia, a significantly positive correlation was found between haematuria severity and analgesic efficacy (p=0.003, r=0.311).Conclusion: If there is intensive or red colour anamnesis in patients presenting to the ED who are likely to be diagnosed as renal colic, the initial application of IM non-steroid analgesic may provide better pain palliation and increase patient comfort.
