Publication Is there a relationship between the diameter of the inferior vena cava and hemodynamic parameters in critically ill patients?(Medknow Publications, 2015-11-01) Aydın, Şule A.; Özdemir, Fatma; Taşkın, G.; Ocakoğlu, Gökhan; Yıldırım, H.; Köksal, Özlem; AYDIN, ŞULE; ÖZDEMİR, FATMA; Taşkın, G.; OCAKOĞLU, GÖKHAN; KÖKSAL, ÖZLEM; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Acil Servis Bölümü; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Biyoistatistik Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0002-1114-6051; AAH-5180-2021; AAK-8332-2020; HLG-6346-2023; AAI-2164-2021; IOY-2055-2023; GHW-4797-2022Introduction: 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.Publication Acute temporal lobe infarction in a young patient associated with marijuana abuse: An unusual cause of stroke(Zhejiang Univ Sch Medicine, 2014-03-01) İnal, Taylan; Köse, Ataman; Özdemir, Fatma; KÖKSAL, ÖZLEM; Köksal, Özlem; Armağan, Erol; ARMAĞAN, EROL; Aydın, Şule A.; AYDIN, ŞULE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Acil Tıp Anabilim Dalı.; AAM-7896-2020; AAH-8846-2021; AAI-2164-2021; AAK-8332-2020; L-7334-2015BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events associated with drug abuse have been frequently reported, particularly in young patients. The drugs include generally cocaine, heroin, and amphetamines. Although marijuana is among the widely used narcotics in the world, stroke associated with the marijuana use is infrequently reported.METHODS: Stroke caused by the use of marijuana was investigated in a 23-year-old man and the importance of inquiry of drug abuse in case of stroke was emphasized.RESULTS: The patient was treated for 7 days in a follow-up, but he was not recovered. The patient was discharged in his existing condition and was directed for physiotherapy and rehabilitation.CONCLUSION: Ischemic stroke is associated with drug abuse and/or substance use, mainly cannabinoids and amphetamines, particularly in young patients.Publication Clinical probability and risk analysis of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism(Zhejiang Univ Press, 2014-12-01) Yetgin, Gülden Özeren; Aydın, Şule Akköse; Köksal, Özlem; Özdemir, Fatma; Mert, Dilek Kostak; Torun, Gökhan; AYDIN, ŞULE; KÖKSAL, ÖZLEM; ÖZDEMİR, FATMA; Mert, Dilek Kostak; Torun, Gökhan; AAI-2164-2021; AAA-2367-2020; AAK-8332-2020BACKGROUND: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the most frequent diseases that could be missed in overcrowded emergency departments as in Turkey. Early and accurate diagnosis could decrease the mortality rate and this standard algorithm should be defined. This study is to find the accurate, fast, non-invasive, cost-effective, easy-to-access diagnostic tests, clinical scoring systems and the patients who should be tested for clinical diagnosis of PE in emergency department.METHODS: One hundred and forty patients admitted to the emergency department with the final diagnosis of PE regarding to anamnesis, physical examination and risk factors, were included in this prospective, cross-sectional study. The patients with a diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, acute coronary syndrome or infection and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were excluded from the study. The demographics, risk factors, radiological findings, vital signs, symptoms, physicallaboratory findings, diagnostic tests and clinical scoring systems of patients (Wells and Geneva) were noted. The diagnostic criteria for pulmonary emboli were: filling defect in the pulmonary artery lumen on spiral computed tomographic angiography and perfusion defect on perfusion scintigraphy.RESULTS: Totally, 90 (64%) of the patients had PE. Age, hypotension, having deep vein thrombosis were the risk factors, and oxygen saturation, shock index, BNP, troponin and fibrinogen levels as for the biochemical parameters were significantly different between the PE (+) and PE (-) groups (P<0.05). The Wells scoring system was more successful than the other scoring systems.CONCLUSION: Biochemical parameters, clinical findings, and scoring systems, when used altogether, can contribute to the diagnosis of PE.Publication Analysis of the degree of accuracy and reliability of emergency medicine residents in interpreting computed tomography of the abdomen(Galenos Publ House, 2022-06-01) Çetin, Murat; SARKI CANDER, SÜMEYYE TUĞBA; DURAK, VAHİDE ASLIHAN; AYDIN, ŞULE; Aydın, Şule Akköse; Durak, Vahide Aslıhan; SIĞIRLI, DENİZ; Sığırlı, Deniz; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Acil Tıp Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Biyoistatistik Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-0836-7862; 0000-0002-4161-5381; AAI-2164-2021Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the accuracy and reliability of emergency medicine residents in the interpretation of radiological investigation of patients with trauma, who received abdominal computed tomography in the emergency department.Materials and Methods: We prospectively evaluated the reports of 200 patients who presented to the emergency medicine department of a university hospital with trauma, and who received abdominal computed tomography (CT) due to suspected abdominal pathology.Results: In this study, 33% (66/200) of the patients were female and 67% (134/200) were male. CT scans of these 200 patients were examined by emergency medicine residents and radiology specialists. The results of the study showed that emergency medicine residents performed well in interpreting abdominal CT scans of patients with trauma with an agreement rate of 90.5%. Evaluation of the results obtained in our study suggested that emergency medicine residents generally performed well in interpreting abdominal CT scans of patients with trauma with suspected abdominal pathology in the emergency room.Conclusion: The high rate of agreement may be associated with the fact that emergency medicine residents are usually the first physicians who meet and treat patients with trauma and thus have gained sufficient experience in this field.Publication Patients over the age of 15 years admitted for attempted suicide to the emergency department and the psychosocial support unit(Emergency Medicine Physicians Assoc Turkey, 2012-12-01) Köse, Beril; KÖKSAL, ÖZLEM; ARMAĞAN, EROL; Köse, Ataman; Eraybar, Suna; AYDIN, ŞULE; Aydın, Şule Akköse; Armağan, Erol; ÖZDEMİR, FATMA; Özdemir, Fatma; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Acil Tıp Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-4306-9262; CAF-5149-2022; HIK-0672-2022; L-7334-2015; AAM-7896-2020; AAH-8846-2021Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the demographic characteristics, methods of suicide and its causes in patients over the age of 15 years admitted to the emergency service for attempted suicide. The importance of the psychosocial support unit that has recently become active in the emergency department is emphasized.Material and Methods: In our study, we retrospectively evaluated the "Suicide Attempt Feedback Forms" of patients over the age of 15 years who were admitted to the emergency service of the Van Education and Research Hospital for suicide attempts between February and November 2009.Results: A total of 112 cases were enrolled in the study, of whom 92 were female ( 82.2%) and 20 were male ( 17.8%). The most prominent age range for suicide attempts was between 15-24 years of age ( 71.4%). In both sexes, the most common suicide attempt method was drug use, and family problems were the most common cause of suicide. Nearly all patients had made suicide attempts with the use of drugs/toxic substances. Suicide attempts were most commonly seen in March, April and October.Conclusion: Considering the number of patients in the emergency department, a team working as a psychosocial support and crisis intervention unit with experience in suicide attempts and enough time to address this issue is important for patients to receive adequate and appropriate service. Implementation of this mechanism in an uninterrupted manner in the emergency department can contribute to the prevention of recurrent suicide attempts.Publication Uludag University Medical Faculty research hospital emergency service an epidemiological investigation into blood and blood product transfusion(Galenos Yayınevi, 2012-06-01) Esen, Mehmet; Aydın, Şule Akköse; Özdemir, Fatma; Köksal, Özlem; Öner, Nuran; AYDIN, ŞULE; ÖZDEMİR, FATMA; KÖKSAL, ÖZLEM; Öner, Nuran; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Acil Tıp Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-2180-6946; 0000-0002-4761-7863; AAK-8332-2020; JLX-9240-2023; ITH-9225-2023; DJG-5702-2022Objective: This study was designed prospectively to investigate the demographic data of patients (n=434) who received blood and blood products at the Uludag University Medical Faculty Research Hospital Emergency Service between June 2009 and December 2009. The indications for the blood products used, the amount and the type of products used and the documentation of reactions were investigated and compared with data in the literature.Materials and Methods: 83.0% patients had normal vital parameters, 3.4% had hypotension, 2.1% had tachycardia, 1.1% had fever, 9.7% had hypotension and tachycardia and 0.7% had hypotension, tachycardia and fever. In terms of hemoglobin levels, 40.6% of patients had a level below 7 g/dL, 13.1% were between 7-8 g/dL, 26.7% were between 8-10 g/dL and 19.6% were above 10 g/dL. The patients who were transfused with an erythrocyte suspension were mostly the group who had a hemoglobin level below 7 g/dL. Platelets were transfused mostly for thrombocytopenia in patients with a platelet count between 10-20 x 10(3)/mm(3).Results: Of all transfused patients, 3.9% had an acute complication related to transfusion. 1.2% of these were acute febrile non-hemolytic reactions (FNHR), 1.1% were heart failure, 0.9% were allergic reactions and 0.7% were both FNHR and allergic reactions. 76.5% of all transfused patients were discharged from the emergency department, 19.4% were hospitalized, 2.5% were sent to other hospitals and 1.6% died in the emergency department.Conclusion: In light of our findings, it can be seen that many transfusions are performed in the emergency department, transfusion protocols are not normally followed and most transfusions are performed to support the outpatient clinic.Publication Paraquat intoxication: A case report(Aves Press Ltd, 2011-07-01) Eraybar, Suna; Köse, Ataman; Aydın, Şule Akköse; AYDIN, ŞULE; Özdemir, Fatma; ÖZDEMİR, FATMA; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Acil Tıp Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-4306-9262; HIK-0672-2022; AAM-7896-2020; L-7334-2015Paraquat, a widely used herbicide, causes high morbidity and mortality in people when taken accidentally or for suicidal intent. In this study our aim is to present the treatment and follow up of a 23 years old young lady after a history of suicide attempt in the emergency department after taking large amount of paraquat. The patient was initially asymptomatic and in follow up care gastrointestinal, renal and liver toxicity developed. Patients with severe paraquat poisoning may be asymptomatic after ingestion, but may deteriorate rapidly within a few hours. Therefore, in the case of taking high dose paraquat, the patient needs long term follow up for liver, kidney and lung effects even if he is asymptomatic.Publication Snakebite cases admitted to uludag university faculty of medicine emergency department and current management of snake bite(Aves, 2009-03-01) ÖZDEMİR, FATMA; Eren, Sebnem; Özdemir, Fatma; Köksal, Özlem; KÖKSAL, ÖZLEM; Durmuş, Oya; Esen, Mehmet; Akköse, Şule Aydın; AYDIN, ŞULE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Acil Tıp Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-2180-6946; HHN-5686-2022; AAK-8332-2020; AAX-5571-2021Background: The purpose of this study is to analyse the characteristics of snakebite cases' epidemiology, clinic, treatment and prognosis and to investigate the current first aid and treatment methods.Methods: The snakebite cases admitted to our emergency department (ED) between 01.01.1995-31.12.2004 were investigated retrospectively. Demographic data, procedures and biochemical tests in the ED, prognosis of the hospitalized patients, the treatment given in the hospital and the complications were recorded.Results: The average age of the totally 48 (M/F: 27/21) patients was 40.4 year. 11 cases were discharged, 21 cases were transferred to other hospitals and 16 of them were hospitalized. Majority of the patients admitted in spring and summer. Among the 24 patients whom files had been obtained, 12 patients' snakebite was on the lower extremity, and 12 patients' was on the upper extremity. Antivenom was applied to 17 of these 24 patients. Systemic symptoms were seen in 6 patients. As an abnormal biochemical test only leucocytosis was seen in 7 patients. Faciotomy was applied to 25% of the patients with the diagnosis of compartment syndrome. The average hospitalization time was 4.2 day and there were no deaths and no extremity amputation among these patients.Conclusion: Most of the snakebites occur in the spring and summer season. Poisonous snakebites can cause severe systemic and local complications like compartment syndrome. ED approach includes close following of the vital signs, basic laboratory tests, tetanus prophylaxis, diagnosis of compartment syndrome and systemic complications. Patients should be examined in terms of antibiotherapy and antivenin.Publication Clinical value of D-dimer and other coagulation markers in differantial diagnosis of hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke(Galenos Yayıncılık, 2009-12-01) Aydın, Şule Akköse; Köksal, Özlem; Bulut, Mehtap; Özuçelik, Doğaç Niyazi; Özdemir, Fatma; AYDIN, ŞULE; KÖKSAL, ÖZLEM; Bulut, Mehtap; ÖZDEMİR, FATMA; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Acil Tip Ana Bilim Dalı; HHN-5686-2022; AAX-5571-2021; AAK-8332-2020; JCE-0651-2023; ITH-9225-2023PURPOSE: This study aims to determine the clinical value of some laboratory markers(D-dimer, Fibrinogen, etc levels) as alternatives to expensive and sometimes unavailable advanced radiographic techniques, in differentiation and early diagnosis of hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke which require distinct diagnosis, monitoring and treatment methods.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study includes 100 adult patients who applied to Emergency Department of Uludag University with clinical symptoms of stroke. At presentation on all of the patients and D-dimer, fibrinogen and other laboratory tests were studied. For differentiation of hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke, computerized tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) were taken. CT and MRI detections were assessed by radiology specialists blindly.FINDINGS: Of 100 patients included in the study, 53% were women and 47% were men. In 28% of the patients, ischemic stroke, in 21%, hemorrhagic stroke and in 48%, transient ischemic attack (TIA) was detected, while remaining 3% were assessed as normal. Average age of patients with ischemic stroke was found higher than that of patients with hemorrhagic stroke. No significant difference was observed when patients were grouped by sexes. Coagulation markers, D-dimer and aPTT were significantly different between hemorrhagic stroke and TIA groups while no significant difference was observed between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke groups.RESULTS: Ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes cause homeostatic anomalies besides the brain damage accompanying. In our study, a difference between hemorrhagic stroke and TIA groups was observed, while no difference was found between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke groups regarding coagulation markers.Publication A case report of ammonium sulfate inhalation(Aves, 2011-12-01) Köksal, Özlem; KÖKSAL, ÖZLEM; Almacıoğlu, Meral Leman; ÖZDEMİR, FATMA; Aydın, Şule Akköse; AYDIN, ŞULE; Bulut, Mehtap; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Acil Tıp Anabilim Dalı.; AAK-8332-2020; AAX-5571-2021; HHN-5686-2022Ammonium sulfate is widely used in agriculture and the leather trade in many countries. Although it is reported to have potential effects on respiratory, gastrointestinal systems and the skin, there are a few case reports and toxicological studies about ammonium sulfate intoxication after ingestion and there is no case about ammonium sulfate inhalation. Thus, we report the clinical and laboratory findings of a patient who inhaled ammonium sulfate gas due to a work accident and was brought to our emergency department directly from the factory. When he arrived, loss of consciousness, cyanosis, tachypnea and metabolic acidosis were observed and convulsions were reported before arrival at the emergency department. After intubation and mechanical ventilator support in the emergency department, he was admitted to the intensive care unit, was given a T tube - mechanic ventilator support and was discharged in a healthy condition on the 8th day of admission. Ammonium sulfate intoxication should be suspected for the patients which brought from the leather industry or an agricultural environment, who inhaled bad or dense odored material, and had loss of consciousness, convulsions, acidosis and respiratory failure.
