“…Head trauma was the leading cause of singlesite injuries (n=23, 26.7%) whereas urogenital injury was determined in one patient as a single site injury after a traffic accident. Traffic accidents are reported to be more frequent in summer which is coherent for the present study (2,5,11,13,15,17). We determined 32.5% (n=28) of the traffic accidents happened in summer and 17.4%…”

Objective: To present the epidemiologic data of traffic accident victims hospitalized at an intensive care unit. Material and Methods: Medical files of patients admitted to hospital as a traffic accident victim and hospitalized at intensive care unit from May 01, 2016 to May 01, 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Age, gender, admission time, type of trauma, mechanical ventilation, and surgery were recorded. Results: Of the 99300 patients hospitalized due to traffic accidents, 86 patients needed intensive care unit care. Mean age of the patients was 41.80 ± 23.04 years. Fifty-five patients were male, and 31 patients were female. Sixty-two patients were under 60 years of age. Intensive care unit hospitalization was most frequent (39 patients, 45.3%) between 08:00-15:59 hours. Multiple trauma patients constituted 38.4% of the cases. Mean length of stay at the intensive care unit was 2.94 ± 4.01. Of the 86 patients; 51 were transferred to the wards, 14 transferred to a reference hospital, one discharged and 20 patients died. Conclusion: Although patients admitted to intensive care unit due to traffic accidents constitute a small percentage, they still have a high mortality rate. Increasing measures of control at times when traffic accidents are common can prevent deaths in productive age groups. Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı yoğun bakım ünitesinde trafik kazası nedeniyle yatan hastaların epidemiyolojik verilerini sunmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 01 Mayıs 2016-01 Mayıs 2018 tarihleri arasında trafik kazası nedeniyle hastaneye başvuran ve yoğun bakım ünitesinde takip edilen hastaların tıbbi dosyaları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, yoğun bakım ünitesine kabul zamanı, travma tipi, mekanik ventilasyon ihtiyacı, acil cerrahi müdahale gerekliliği kaydedilmiştir. Bulgular: Trafik kazası nedeniyle 99300 hasta hastaneye başvurmuş ve 86 hasta yoğun bakım ünitesine yatırılmıştır. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 41.80±23.04 idi. Hastaların 55'i erkek 31'i kadındı. Altmış iki hasta 60 yaşından küçüktü. Yoğun bakım ünitesine yatışın en sık olduğu zaman dilimi 08:00-15:59 saatleri arasındaydı (n=39, %45). Çoklu travma hastaları vakaların çoğunluğunu oluşturdu (%38.4). Yoğun bakım ünitesinde ortalama yatış süresi 2.94±4.01 gündü. Seksen altı hastadan 51'i servise nakledildi, 14'ü ileri bir merkeze sevk edildi, 1 hasta taburcu edildi ve 20 hasta öldü. Sonuç: Ülkemizde trafik kazasına bağlı yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan hastaların oranı düşük olsa da hala yüksek mortaliteye sahiptir. Trafik kazalarının sık olduğu zaman dilimlerinde önlemlerin artırılması üretken yaşta ölümleri önleyebilir.

“…When compared with other studies related to traffic accidents in our country, in studies conducted by Karbeyaz, [7] Serinken, [14] Varol, [13] Bilgin, [5] and Aydeniz, [8] it was observed that head and neck injuries were the second most common injuries following lower extremity injuries. Although our study includes intra-vehicle traffic accidents, in outer vehicle traffic accidents, injured zone changes according to the type of accident are normal when the following facts are considered: first, the number and severity of injuries increases due to the absence of effective safety measures such as safety belts and air cushions in non-vehicular traffic accidents; second, extremity injuries are more frequent in pedestrians; and additionally, the type of associated injury regions differ related to the injury site.…”

“…[5][6][7] The mean age of the cases was found to be 33.11±16.86 and injuries due to traffic accidents were found to be the most frequent in the 21-30-year age group (n=147, 28.3%), and this finding is coherent with many studies. [1,5,[7][8][9][10] When the studies performed in our country were reviewed, the 30-49-, 30-49-, and 0-14-year age groups were the leading age groups in the study performed by Mandıracıoğlu, [11] Gören, [12] and Varol, [13] respectively.…”

Background: The number of applications to the emergency service after a traffic accident is quite high. In this study it is aimed to provide up to date data to the literature by making a detailed analysis of the patients who applied to the emergency department after an accident. Methods: This study was carried out by retrospectively scanning the patients who applied to the emergency department between 01.01.2022 and 31.12.2022 after a traffic accident in a secondary level hospital through the hospital electronic data. The patient’s admission date and time, age, gender, accident mechanisms, being a vehicle driver and ethanol positivity above the legal limit in the driver, as well as laboratory and imaging methods performed in the emergency department were examined. The injuries and outcomes seen in the patients were analyzed. Results: 1596 patients were evaluated within the scope of the study. The mean age of the patients was 32.93±19.26 years old and 66.7% were male. Among the accident mechanisms, 71.1% were found to be in vehicle traffic accidents. Head and neck tomography and extremity imaging were performed most frequently in the patients. Soft tissue trauma and extremity fractures were the most common cases. The discharge rate was 89.2%. It was concluded that hospitalized cases were most frequently made in neurosurgery, orthopedics and thoracic surgery clinics. Conclusions: The fact that vehicle drivers are drunk increases the risk of traffic accidents. The most common cause of fatal traffic accidents is cerebral hemorrhage. Increasing the safety measures that can be taken to prevent traffic accidents will reduce morbidity and mortality.
