Amaç
Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de üçüncü seviye bir acil servise başvuran 1 yaş altı pediatrik travma hastalarının demografik özelliklerini, başvuru mekanizmalarını ve klinik sonuçlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Yöntem
Geriye dönük olarak yapılan bu çalışmada, 2017-2019 yılları arasında 2174 pediatrik travma hastasının bilgileri elektronik kayıt sisteminden taranarak analiz edilmiştir. Yaş, cinsiyet, başvuru şekli, travma mekanizmaları ve klinik sonuçlar verileri oluşturmuştur. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir.
Bulgular
Bulgulara göre, hastaların %52,6’sı erkek olup, başvurular yaz aylarında ve hafta içi daha yoğundur. En sık görülen travma mekanizması bebek arabası veya pusetten düşme iken, en yaygın travma türü kafa travmasıdır.
Sonuç
Pediatrik travmalar çocuk sağlığı açısından önemli ve yaşamsal bir tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Özellikle kafa travmaları, düşmeler ve trafik kazaları çocuklarda ciddi morbiditeye ve mortaliteye neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın bulguları, pediatrik travmaların önlenmesi ve acil tedavi süreçlerinin iyileştirilmesine yönelik çözümler geliştirmesinde temel tanımlayıcı veriler olarak kullanılabilir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Acil servis, pediatrik travma, kafa travması, travma skorlama sistemleri, düşme
