Abstract:

Summary Purpose: Newborn Intensive Care Unit in our pipe toracostomy requires the characteristics of our pnomotic patients and the factors associated with mortality to identify and present preventive strategies. Tools and Methods: This study was conducted by re-evaluating the file information of our pnomotic patients requiring tube toracostomy monitored in the University of Karabük Education Research Hospital Newborn Intensive Care Unit between April 1, 2015 and December 31, 2020. Results: During the study period, 1714 babies were deposited in our YYBU,37 patients were diagnosed with pnömotoraks (2.1%), the number of cases required to torace tube was determined as 33. When all pneumotoractic incidents were included, our mortality rate was 10.8%. These rates are at a level that can be considered good compared to literary data (7.3-3%) Result: Our study has shown that mortality rates can be reduced when pnomotic infants are stabilized and adequate transfer is provided. Abstract Aim: To determine the characteristics of our patients with pneumothorax requiring tube thoracostomy in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the factors associated with mortality and to reveal their prevention strategies. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out by retrospectively evaluating the file information of our patients with pneumothorax requiring tube thoracostomy who were followed up in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Karabük University Education and Research Hospital between April 1, 2015 and December 31, 2020. Results: During the study period, 1714 babies were hospitalized in our NICU, we found pneumothorax in 37 patients (2.1%), and the number of cases requiring thorax tube was determined as 33. When all pneumothorax cases were included, our mortality rate was found to be 10.8%. These rates are good when compared with the literature data (7.3% -35%). Conclusion: Our study showed that mortality rates can be decreased when babies with pneumothorax are stabilized and transferred properly. Keywords: Pneumothorax, mortality, Neonatal transport
