Abstract:

 

Acetaminophen intoxication is one of the most frequent causes of poisoning caused by medical treatment and deaths. Acetaminophen intoxication happens when it is taken in a single high dose or several times above the treatment dose. The approach to the patient with acetaminophen intoxication includes stabilization, decontamination and n-acetyl cysteine (the specific antidot of acetaminophen). In this article, it is aimed to review the approach to patients with paracetamol poisoning in the emergency department with current medical literature.

 

Asetaminofen zehirlenmesi tedaviye bağlı zehirlenmeler ve ölümlerin en sık görülen nedenlerinden biridir. Asetaminofen zehirlenmesi tek doz fazla miktarda alım ya da tedavi dozunun üzerinde tekrarlayan alımlarla gerçekleşmektedir. Asetaminofen zehirlenmesi olan hastaya yaklaşım stabilizasyon, dekontaminasyon ve spesifik antidot olan N-asetilsistein tedavilerini içerir. Bu makalede parasetamol zehirlenmeli hastalara acil serviste yaklaşımın güncel tıbbi literatür bilgileri eşliğinde derlenmesi amaçlandı.
