ÖZ Amaç: Gürültü, istenmeyen ve rahatsızlık veren ses olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada gürültünün yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan hastaların gece uykusu ve yaşamsal bulguları üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı olarak yapılan araştırmanın evrenini, Çukurova Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Beyin Cerrahi Yoğun Bakım (BCYB) Ünitesi'nde yatan hastaların tamamı, örneklemini ise araştırmanın sınırlılıklarına uyan, 18 yaş üzeri ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 83 hasta oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın yapıldığı kurumun etik kurulu, tıp fakültesi dekanlığı ve hastane başhekimliğinden gerekli izinler alınmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında, "Hasta Tanıtım Formu", "Richard's Campbell Uyku Ölçeği", "Vizüel Analog Skala", ses seviyesi ölçer, hasta başı monitörleri ve timpanik termometreler kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırma sonucunda ortalama gürültü seviyesi 52,04±5,75 dB. olarak bulunmuştur. Hastaların %75'i gürültü nedeniyle uyku problemi yaşadıklarını belirtmiş, gürültüye neden olan durumların başında alarm seslerinin geldiği, hastaların uykuyla ilgili en belirgin şikayetlerinin sık sık uyanma olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Ses düzeyi ile sistolik kan basıncı arasında zayıf pozitif korelasyonların olduğu saptanmış, nabız, diyastolik kan basıncı ve solunumun ses düzeyi ile zayıf ilişkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar doğrultusunda, BCYB ünitesinde hastaların uyku sorunu yaşamasında etkin faktörlerin başında gelen ortam gürültüsünün ve gürültüye neden faktörlerin en aza indirilmesine yönelik önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Anahtar Kelimeler: Yoğun bakım ünitesi, gürültü, uyku, yaşamsal bulgular ABSTRACT Objective: Noise is defined as unwanted sound causing discomfort. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of noise on sleep in intensive care patients and to examine its impact on vital signs. Materials and Methods: The subjects of this descriptive study (n=83) were all of the patients hospitalized in the Neurosurgery Intensive Care (NSIC) Unit of the Cukurova University Faculty of Medicine who were conforming to selection criteria of the study, older than 18 years, and those willing to participate. Approvals necessary for the study were obtained from the ethics committee of the institution, dean of faculty of medicine, and hospital chief physician. To collect data, "Patient Identification Form", "Richard's Campbell Sleep Questionnaire", "Visual Analog Scale", sound level meter, patient monitoring and tympanic thermometer were used. Result: In conclusion, the average noise level was found to be 52.04±5.75 dB. Of the patients, 75% reported problems to sleep due to noise, which was mainly produced from the alarms of the monitors and the most obvious complaints was frequent awakenings (p<0.05). It was found that there was a weak positive correlation between the sound level and the systolic blood pressure. There was also a weak correlation with the pulse, diastolic blood pressure, and respiratory sound level. Conclusion: In accordance with the results obtain...
The Covid-19 pandemic, China at the end of 2019 and was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, is still a serious public health problem. The international virus taxonomy committee named this virus as SARSCoV-2 and the disease caused by the virus as Covid-19 disease. The disease is transmitted from person to person through droplets. When the infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks, the virus found in respiratory secretions is transmitted by direct contact with the mucosa. In addition, it can be transmitted upon bringing one's hands to the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, or eyes after hand-to-hand contact with droplets produced by the coughing and sneezing of a sick individual. The respiratory system is the system most affected by Covid-19 infection. The virus affects the respiratory system in 3 ways: acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with diffuse alveolar damage, diffuse thrombotic alveolar microvascular occlusion, and inflammatory mediator-associated airway inflammation. As a result of these 3 effects of the virus, impaired alveolar oxygenation, hypoxemia, acidosis and, consequently, dyspnea develops. Dyspnea occurs when breathing becomes disturbingly noticeable. Dyspnea is an important symptom that affects the prognosis of Covid-19 disease. The severity of the disease ranges from asymptomatic infection to critical illness. Dyspnea symptoms and respiratory system involvement are more common in critical illness. Primary care physicians should be familiar with respiratory system pathologies caused by the Covid-19 disease.
