ÖzetAmaç: Bu çalışma, Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Sağlık Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezine zehirlenme nedeniyle getirilen erken çocukluk yaş grubundaki (1-4 yaş) olguların değerlendirilmesi ve elde edilen bulguların koruyucu önlemlerin alınmasında yol gösterici olması amacıyla yapılmıştır. Sonuç: Erken çocukluk yaş grubunda ev içinde meydana gelebilecek zehirlenmelere karşı ebeveynlere ya da çocuğa bakım verenlere yönelik yapılacak eğitim çalışmaları oldukça önemlidir. Bunun yanı sıra hastaların zehire daha kısa süre maruz kalması açısından acil servislerde insan gücü planlaması başvuru zamanları gözetilerek düzenlenmelidir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Çocukluk çağı; Zehirlenme; Kaza; Acil Servis; Önleme. AbstractObjective: The purpose of this study was to assess cases in early childhood age group (1-4 years of age) who were admitted to Ondokuz Mayis University Health Application and Research Center due to poisoning and to obtain guiding results in taking protective measures.Materials and Methods: 761 children between the ages of 1 to 4 who were admitted to Ondokuz Mayis University Health Application and Research Center between 01 August 2010 and 31 July 2015 with a diagnosis of poisoning were included in the study.The data obtained with this cross sectional study was analyzed by using SPSS statistic program.Results: 413 (54,3%) of the cases were male, while 348 (45,7%) were female. The highest number of cases were admitted in the months of July (11,8%) and May (11,6%), on Mondays (18,3%) and between the hours 16.00-23.59. Drugs were statistically significantly the most common reason (48,3%) for poisoning in children.Conclusion: In early childhood age group, trainings for parents or caregivers against poisoning that may happen in the house are quite important. In addition, labor force planning should be arranged by considering admission times in emergency services to make sure that patients are exposed to poison for a shorter period of time.

ObjectivesPoisoning occurring in childhood still continues to be an important public health issue. The aim of the study is to socio-demographically and clinically examine poisoning cases consulted to emergency department.MethodsThe findings of 121 patients between the ages of 1 month and 17 years consulting to the pediatric emergency department with the suspicion of poisoning were examined retrospectively in the study.ResultsThe mean age of the patients was 6.60 ± 5.70 (min-max: 0–17) years and 49.6% of the patients were male and 50.4% were female. The most common causes of poisoning were corrosive chemicals in 35 patients (28.9%), poisonous animals in 24 patient's (19.8%) and prescription medications in 24 patients (19.8%). While 103 (85.1%) of the cases were exposed to the factor accidently, 18 of the cases (14.9%) had attempted suicide. The mean monthly family income levels of accidently poisoned cases were significantly higher than those who attempted suicide (p < 0.001). The father's education level was lower in cases who were poisoned by suicide attempt than in those who were accidently poisoned (p < 0.001).ConclusionPoisoning rates in childhood and varieties of factors differentiate among the regions. The rate of poisoning cases due to poisonous animals was found to be quite high in the region where this study was carried out. In addition, the study showed that poisoning rates due to suicide attempt in children of families with low income level and/or father's education level have increased.
