24 ay) analjeziği kıdemsizlere göre "sıklıkla" uyguladıklarını (p=0.034) ve kıdemsiz asistanların daha çok oranda analjezik kullanımının "fizik muayene bulgularını baskıladığını" inandıklarını bildirdiler (p=0.002). TARTIŞMA: Acil tıp hekimlerinin akut karın ağrılı hastalarda analjezik kullanım oranları çok düşüktür ve yıllar içerisinde değişiklik olmamıştır. Acil tıp asistanlarının uzmanlarına oranla analjezik kullanım oranları çok daha düşüktür ve analjeziklerin fizik muayeneyi baskıladığına, cerrah hastayı muayene etmeden uygulamaması gerekliliğine inançları yüksektir. Asistanların, analjezik uygulama zamanı daha geçtir. Asistanın kıdemi arttıkça kullanım oranı ve fizik muayene etkilemediği görüşü artmaktadır. BACKGROUND: Use of narcotic analgesics in patients with acute abdominal pain does not cause delayed misdiagnosis, increases patient comfort and does not suppresses physical examination. The purpose of this study was to determine attitudes anddaily practices of emergency medicine (EM) specialists, residents and faculty members in Turkey on the use of analgesics in patients with acute abdominal pain and factors affecting their decisions on the use of analgesics.METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed between November 15, 2013 and January 25, 2014 by conducting a questionnaire to EM physicians working in University Hospitals, Education and Research Hospitals of the Ministry of Health, State Hospitals, and Private Hospitals in Turkey.RESULTS: A total of 803 questionnaires (participation rate: 47%) were completed. 59.3% (n=470) of the participants were research assistants. 49.5% of the participants reported that analgesic drugs "suppressed'' physical examination findings. They stated that 90% of the patients "always'' and "often'' requested analgesics and that 34.6% of surgery consultant physicians "rarely" recommended the use of analgesics, while 28.7% "never" recommended, and that there was no common policy established together with surgical departments (79.1%). According to the comparison between the EM specialists and residents, residents in the group stating that they would "never'' use analgesics were higher than specialists in number (p=0.002); residents reported that they administered analgesics "upon surgical intervention decision", while specialists reported that they administered analgesics "after patient's examination and treatment plan" (p=0.021); residents reported that analgesics "suppressed'' physical examination findings, while specialists reported that analgesics "clarified'' physical examination findings (p<0.0001); residents reported that they did not administer analgesics "before examination by surgeon'', while specialists reported otherwise (p=0.0001). Senior residents (>24 months) reported that they administered analgesics "often'' compared to junior residents (p=0.034) and that junior residents believed that the use of analgesics would "suppress physical examination findings'' at a higher percentage (p=0.002).CONCLUSION: The rates of use of analgesics in patients with acute abdominal pain by EM physicians are very low. The rates of use of analgesics by EM residents are much lower compared to EM specialists, and they highly believe that analgesic drugs suppress physical examination findings. Residents tend to administer analgesic drugs at a later stage. As seniority of residents increases, the rate of analgesics use and the opinion that analgesic drugs have no effect on physical examination findings increases">
