Kulak Burun Boğaz Hastalıkları Kliniğinde Akut Dispne ile Yatan Hastaların Klinik Özellikleri, Tanı, Tedavi Yaklaşımları
Amaç: Kulak burun boğaz hastalıkları kliniğine, üst hava yolu problemine bağlı akut dispne ile yatırılarak tedavisi yapılan hastaların klinik özellikleri,tetkik ve tedavi yaklaşımlarımlarımızı araştırmayı amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntem: Kulak burun boğaz hastalıkları kliniğinde, 2011-2017 yılları arasında akut dispne tanısı nedeniyle yatırılarak tetkik ve tedaviedilen 66 (%1,82) hastanın verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi.Bulgular: Akut dispne ile kulak burun boğaz hastalıkları kliniğinde takip edilen hastaların çoğunluğunu, gelişen cerrahi teknikler ve nöromonitorizasyonarağmen halen tiroid cerrahisine bağlı vokal fold paralizisi (VFP) oluşturmaktadır. Ardından enfeksiyöz ve kitlesel nedenler yer almaktadır. 2 hasta(%3,1) medikal tedavi ve gözlem ile takip edildi ve 64 hasta (%96,9) cerrahi yöntemle tedavi edildi. Hastaların %11 kadarına tanısal ve tedavi amaçlıdirekt laringoskopi ve/veya bronkoskopi ile trakeotomi yapıldı. VFP ile takip edilen hastaların 7’si (%22,5) trakeotomi, 24’ü (%77,5) karbondioksit(CO2) lazer ile posterior kordotomi, 1’i (%3,2) posterior kordotomi + trakeotomi ile tedavi edildi.Sonuç: Akut dispne ile başvuran hastalara tanı ve tedavi yaklaşımında, hastanın klinik durum takibi önemlidir. Bu bulgular ışığında yapılan minimalinvaziv yöntemlerle tedavi seçenekleri değerlendirilmelidir.
Clinical Characteristics, Diagnosis, Treatment Approaches of Patients with Acute Dyspnea in ENT Clinic
Objectives: In this study, we investigated the clinical features, examination and treatment approaches of patients with acute dyspnea who were hospitalized and treated at otorhinolaryngology department. Materials and Methods: The data of 66 (1.82%) patients with acute dyspnea were retrospectively studied between 2011 and 2017 at otorhinolaryngology department. Results: Vocal fold paralysis due to thyroid surgery is still the leading cause for majority of acute dyspnea patients presenting to otolaryngologydespite despite improved surgical techniques and neuromonitorisation. Infections and masses are other causes. Two patients (3.1%) were treated with medical treatment and observation and 64 patients (96.9%) were treated surgically. 11% of patients were treated with tracheotomy and direct laryngoscopy and/or bronchoscopy for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Seven patients (22.5%) were treated with tracheotomy, 24 patients (77.5%) were treated with posterior cordotomy and 1 patient (3.2%) was treated with posterior cordotomy and tracheotomy. Conclusions: It is important to follow the clinical situation in the diagnosis and treatment approach of the patients with acute dyspnea. These findings assess the options of treatment with least invasive methods of remission.
