The aim of this study is to examine retrospectively patients who were diagnosed and followed as intoxication between 2003-2005 in our intensive care unit.Forty-four patients were female (80%), and 11 were male (20%). The overall mean age was 23.68.9. Except one, all patients took drugs for suicide. The most common poisons ingested were pesticides (49%). Frequently used drugs were antidepressants (31%). Thirty-four patients (62%) were intubated for mechanical ventilation support. Mean duration of mechanical ventilation was 8.510.6 day. Forty-seven patients (85%) were discharged from hospital, 2 patients (4%) were transported to another unit and 6 patients (11%) were died. We concluded that, during study period, young female patients were admitted more frequently in our intensive care unit, and pesticide and antidepressants were most common cause of the poisoning. |
