OBJECTIVE: Postvaccine side effects were evaluated in patients presenting to our emergency department with complaints of vaccine side effects after taking COVID-19 vaccine, and new unknown side effects ranging from mild complaints to life-threatening risks, and frequency of all side effects were investigated. This study aimed to establish a scientific resource to identify the potential side effects of the vaccine. METHODS: Patients' demographic information, clinical characteristics, epicrisis reports, COVID-19 disease and vaccination histories, vital values, and blood values were examined. The SPSS 20.0 package program was used for statistical evaluation. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Notably, 13.1% of patients presenting to the emergency department started to have complaints after taking Sinovac vaccine, whereas 86.9% of them had complaints after taking BioNTech vaccine. Also, 36.9% of patients stated that they had COVID-19. All patients had a Glasgow coma scale score of 15 during admission. No patient was hospitalized, ventilator was not needed, and all patients were discharged. While the most common presenting complaint to the emergency department after vaccination was fatigue in 29.7%, the most common diagnoses after examination in the emergency department were myalgia in 32.1% and upper respiratory tract infection in 28.6%. CONCLUSION: Results and conclusions of our study will guide healthcare workers and patients on the side effects of COVID-19 vaccine.
Amaç
Gastrointestinal sistem kanamalar hastanelerde acil serviste sıkça karşılaşılan ve hayatı tehdit etme potansiyeli yüksek olan bir sağlık sorunudur. Acil servisimize başvuran ve üst gastrointestinal sistem kanama tanısı alan hastalardaki etiyolojik sebepleri, klinik bulguları, endoskopik bulguları ve prognozu belirlemek için bu çalışmayı planladık.
Materyal ve Metod
Üst gastrointestinal sistem kanaması nedeniyle XXXXXX Hastanesi Acil Servisi’ne başvuran hastaların dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Çalışmaya alınan 31 hastanın demografik verileri, klinik özellikleri, etiyolojik sebepleri, laboratuvar ve endoskopi sonuçları incelendi. İstatistiksel değerlendirmede Student t ve Oneway ANOVA testi ve SPSS 20.0 paket programı kullanıldı. İstatistiksel olarak p
Emergency departments are the first places where patients with drug intoxication are evaluated, and all physicians working in the emergency department should know the approach to intoxication very well. The diversity of treatment includes supportive care, decontamination, antidote therapy and the use of elimination techniques. The management of the follow-up and treatment of the cases of intoxication, the creation of algorithms and the determination of strategies are important and the correct application of these algorithms will be life-saving.
