Etiology in pediatric patient presented to emergency department with altered state of consciousness: Is it trauma or not?

Bilinç; kişinin kendisini ve çevresini algılayabilmesi ve uyaranlara uygun yanıt verebilmesi durumudur. Çocuklarda çok sayıda bilinç değişikliği nedeni olmakla birlikte bunların en sık görülenleri: elektrolit bozuklukları, ensefalopati, enfeksiyonlar, aşırı doz ilaç alımı, zehirlenmeler, üremi, travma, nöbet, inme, hipo-hiperglisemi gibi sıralanabilir. Hipoglisemi çocuklarda çok yaygın görülen metabolik bir problemdir. Amacımız çocuklarda bilinç bozukluğunun çok sık görülen nedenlerinden biri olan hipoglisemiyi yaptığımız muayene ve tetkiklerle diğer nedenlerden ayırt etmektir

Bilinç değişikliği ile acil servise başvuran çocuk hasta: Travma mı değil mi?

Consciousness is the state of ability of a person to perceive himself/herself and environment and to give an appropriate response to stimuli. The most frequent causes of childhood consciousness change include electrolyte disorders, encephalopathy, infections, overdose, intoxication, uremia, trauma, seizures, stroke, hypo-hyperglycaemia. Hypoglycemia is a very common metabolic problem in children. Our aim is to make sure that the diagnosis of hypoglycemia, one of the most common causes of consciousness change in children, is kept in mind and considered in differential diagnosis
