Evaluation of Poisoning Cases Admitted to the Emergency Service of a District State Hospital

Abstract
Introduction: Poisoning is the emergence of unwanted signs and symptoms in an organism after exposure to potentially harmful chemical, physical, or organic materials. We performed this study to evaluate the cases admitted to the emergency service due to poisoning.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study included 167 poisoning cases who were admitted to Bigadic State Hospital Emergency Service. We retrospectively assessed the patients by using forms of poisoning after obtaining the necessary permits.
Results: The gender of 56.3% of the cases were female. Besides, 53.5% of the patients admitted within a day during the study period were women. The poisoning incident was for suicidal purposes in 17.4% of patients. However, %80.8 of poisoning cases were accidental.
Conclusion: As a result, our study is remarkable for demonstrating poisoning events to be seen as more frequent and to have a critical place, especially in forensic cases in our region. The higher frequency of suicide attempts by self-poisoning among young women was striking. We, moreover, determined accidental poisoning cases to be more prevalent in childhood.

Key words: Poisoning, Emergency Service, Suicide
