Item A model for acute kidney injury in severe burn patients(2022) Karakaya, Emre; Akdur, Aydincan; Aydogan, Cem; Turk, Emin; Sayin, Cihat Burak; Soy, Ebru Ayvazoglu; Yucebas, Sait Can; Alshalabi, Omar; Haberal, Mehmet; 0000-0002-4879-7974; 0000-0002-8726-3369; 0000-0002-8726-3369; 0000-0002-0993-9917; 0000-0002-3462-7632; 33879373; AAD-5466-2021; AAA-3068-2021; AAA-3068-2021; AAC-5566-2019; AAJ-8097-2021Introduction: In patients with severe burns, morbidity and mortality are high. One factor related to poor prognosis is acute kidney injury. According to the AKIN criteria, acute kidney injury has 3 stages based on urine output, serum creatinine level, and renal replacement therapy. In this study, we aimed to create a decision tree for estimating risk of acute kidney injury in patients with severe burn injuries. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 437 adult patients with >20% total burn surface area injury who were treated at the Baskent University Ankara and Konya Burn Centers from January 2000 to March 2020. Patients who had high-voltage burn and previous history of kidney disease were excluded. Patient demographics, medical history, mechanism of injury, presence of inhalation injury, depth of burn, laboratory values, presence of oliguria, need for renal replacement therapy, central venous pressure, and prognosis were evaluated. These data were used in a "decision tree method" to create the Baskent University model to estimate risk of acute kidney injury in severe burn patients. Results: Our model provided an accuracy of 71.09% for risk estimation. Of 172 patients, 78 (45%) had different degrees of acute kidney injury, with 26 of these (15.1%) receiving renal replacement therapy. Our model showed that total burn surface area was the most important factor for estimation of acute kidney injury occurrence. Other important factors included serum creatinine value, burn injury severity score, hemoglobin value, neutrophil-tolymphocyte ratio, and platelet count. Conclusion: The Baskent University model for acute kidney injury may be helpful to determine risk of acute kidney injury in burn patients. This determination would allow appropriate treatment to be given to high-risk patients in the early period, reducing the incidence of acute kidney injury.

Material and Method: The form of a test of 20 questions fort his purpose has been prepared in accordance with the 2010 AHA-ERC CPR guidelines. This form distributed to volunteer physicians to fill in. A total of 173 physicians agreed to participate in he study. The results were analyzed statistically and tried to determine the factors affecting the level of information. Results:According to the results of the study physicians gender, age and the total duration of physicians and medical asistance doesn't affect the level of information. The number of CPR within I month positively affect the level of knowledge. The number of theoretical and practical training in medical school, have taken the positive impact the level of knowledge of physicians. The training period after graduation, significantly increased the level of physicians information, The order of these training sessions with the asistant courses, congress, seminars and lessions on the sempozims are effective. Discussion: CPR trainig programs for physicians should be standardized, updated and expanded. Recurent in-service trainig should be provided to increase phsicians knowledge on skills.Item Assessment of Endotracheal Tube Position After Oral Intubation in Neonates(2018) Ince, Deniz Anuk; Gul, Ali; Takci, Sahin; Unuvar, SeymaAim: Endotracheal intubation is a common procedure in the delivery room and neonatal intensive care unit. We aimed to determine the accuracy of this method of endotracheal tube (ETT) placement in our neonatal cohort. Materials and Methods: Data on infants requiring oral intubation were reviewed retrospectively. The initial ETT depth of insertion had been calculated using the Tochen 7-8-9 rule. The initial depth was compared to the mid-tracheal region. The differences between the initial and ideal depth was calculated and divided by the mid-tracheal distance. Infants were grouped according to their weights as <= 1000 g,1001 to 2000 g, 2001 to 3000 g and >= 3001g. Results: We evaluated ETT placement in 160 neonates. The mean gestational age was 32.2 +/- 4.4 weeks (23 to 41 weeks) and the mean weight was 1989 +/- 829 g (560 to 3800 g). The mean range of the difference between the initial depth and ideal depth divided by mid-tracheal distance was 0.39 +/- 0.04, 0.35 +/- 0.04, 0.46 +/- 0.05, and 0.23 +/- 0.04 in infants weighing <= 1000 g, 1001 to 2000 g, 2001 to 3000 g and >= 3001 g respectively (p=0.025). The differences between the 2001-3000 g group and the 1001-2000, also the 2001-3000 g group and the >= 3001 g group were statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: The 7-8-9 rule should be used to assess ETT length in neonates, especially in those weighing more than 3 kg. As this rule has low accuracy for extremely low birth weight neonates, its reliability may not be high for neonates weighing less than 3 kg in weight.
