Aim: Drug intoxications and drug uses are public health problems and an important reason for patient admission to emergency departments and intensive care units (ICU).This study aims to evaluate the demographic and clinical data of acute drug intoxications and drug use. Methods: Patients followed up in the ICU for acute drug intoxications and drug use between January 2014 and January 2020 were evaluated retrospectively. Results: A total of 194 patients were included in the study, including 168 drug intoxication and 26 drug use. While 59.5% of drug intoxications were female, the mean age was 27.8±8.3 years, 92.3% of drug use was male, and the mean age was 26.5±3.8 years. While the mean duration of stay in the ICU was 2.3±1.2 days for drug intoxications, it was 2.8±1.9 days for drug use. The highest rate of drug intoxication was between the ages of 17-30, and 98.8% of them were suicidal. Most of the intoxications (61.9%) occurred with multiple drugs, most commonly with analgesics (40.4%) and antidepressants (34.5%). The mortality rate of drug intoxication was 0.6%, and the mortality rate of drug users was 11.5%. While male gender and mechanical ventilation (Mv) requirement were significantly higher in drug use, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores at discharge and hospitalization were significantly lower (p

Introduction: Drug intoxications may be associated with accidental or suicidal ingestion of toxic agents. In both cases, emergency treatment includes administration of the relevant antidote and gastric decontamination. If necessary, patients are followed up in wards and intensive care units, whereas a group of patients are discharged directly from the emergency department. Materials and Methods: The aim of this study was to conduct a retrospective evaluation of examination findings, laboratory investigations, duration of treatments, psychiatric follow-up studies, hospitalization rates and mortality rates in patients admitted to our emergency department due to drug intoxication between 2017 and 2018. Results: Of the 126 patients included in our study, 83 were female, with a mean age of 33.58 ± 13.58 years and a range of 18 to 92 years. Of all patients, 76 were hospitalized in the ward and 1 in the intensive care unit, while 49 were treated in the emergency department. One patient had mortality on the eighth day of hospitalization. Eighty-six patients had been on psychiatric treatment prior to admission, whereas 82 patients were referred to the psychiatry department after admission. The rate of psychiatric consultation was significantly higher in patients who were hospitalized in any department due to drug intoxication than in patients who were discharged directly from the emergency department (p
