  • Uludag University Medical Faculty Research Hospital Emergency Service an Epidemiological Investigation into Blood and Blood Product Transfusion
    Journal of Academic Emergency Medicine, 2012
    Co-Authors: Mehmet Esen, Sule Akkose Aydin, Fatma Ozdemir, Özlem Köksal, Nuran Oner
    Abstract:

    Objective: This study was designed prospectively to investigate the demographic data of patients (n=434) who received blood and blood products at the Uludag University Medical Faculty Research Hospital Emergency Service between June 2009 and December 2009. The indications for the blood products used, the amount and the type of products used and the documentation of reactions were investigated and compared with data in the literature. Materials and Methods: 83.0% patients had normal vital parameters, 3.4% had hypotension, 2.1% had tachycardia, 1.1% had fever, 9.7% had hypotension and tachycardia and 0.7% had hypotension, tachycardia and fever. In terms of hemoglobin levels, 40.6% of patients had a level below 7 g/dL, 13.1% were between 7-8 g/dL, 26.7% were between 8-10 g/dL and 19.6% were above 10 g/dL. The patients who were transfused with an erythrocyte suspension were mostly the group who had a hemoglobin level below 7 g/ dL. Platelets were transfused mostly for thrombocytopenia in patients with a platelet count between 10-20 x 103/mm3. Results: Of all transfused patients, 3.9% had an acute complication related to transfusion. 1.2% of these were acute febrile non-hemolytic reactions (FNHR), 1.1% were heart failure, 0.9% were allergic reactions and 0.7% were both FNHR and allergic reactions. 76.5% of all transfused patients were discharged from the Emergency department, 19.4% were Hospitalized, 2.5% were sent to other Hospitals and 1.6% died in the Emergency department. Conclusion: In light of our findings, it can be seen that many transfusions are performed in the Emergency department, transfusion protocols are not normally followed and most transfusions are performed to support the outpatient clinic.

  • Role of semiautomatic defibrillators in a general Hospital: "Naples Heart Project".
    Resuscitation, 2004
    Co-Authors: Maurizio Santomauro, Luca Ottaviano, Alessio Borrelli, Vincenzo De Lucia, Carla Riganti, Daniel Ferreira, Massimo Chiariello
    Abstract:

    In Italian Hospitals, 85% of patients Hospitalized in general medical wards who experience cardiac arrest die, while the incidence is much lower in patients in intensive care units. Defibrillation, in Italian Hospitals, often occurs very late, either due to a lack of defibrillators, or due to architectural and structural barriers. The object of an in-Hospital Emergency Service is to prevent and treat cardiac arrest without subsequent complications, such as brain damage, renal failure etc. The Naples Heart Project was based on a feasibility study of the in-Hospital Emergency Service to evaluate and analyze problems associated with type of structure, departmental and institutional dislocation, internal practicability (architectural features and preferential ways), staff numbers and distribution, the calling system for Emergency, and the equipment available. The Naples Heart Project began in July 2001, since then it has already created 835 BLSD first responders among the Hospital staff; 440 were physicians and physicians still in training, 310 were nurses and 85 were administrative staff.
