Öğe The communication between patient relatives and physicians in intensive care units(BMC, 2017) Cicekci, Faruk; Duran, Numan; Ayhan, Bunyamin; Arican, Sule; Ilban, Omur; Kara, Iskender; Turkoglu, MeldaBackground: Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are often physically unable to communicate with their physicians. Thus, the sharing of information about the on-going treatment of the patients in ICUs is directly related to the communication attitudes governing a patient's relatives and the physician. This study aims to analyze the attitudes displayed by the relatives of patients and the physician with the purpose of determining the communication between the two parties. Methods: For data collection, two similar survey forms were created in context of the study; one for the relatives of the patients and one for the ICU physicians. The questionnaire included three sub-dimensions: informing, empathy and trust. The study included 181 patient relatives and 103 ICU physicians from three different cities and six hospitals. Results: Based on the results of the questionnaire, identification of the mutual expectations and substance of the messages involved in the communication process between the ICU patients' relatives and physicians was made. The gender and various disciplines of the physicians and the time of the conversation with the patients' relatives were found to affect the communication attitude towards the patient. Moreover, the age of the patient's relatives, the level of education, the physician's perception, and the contact frequency with the patient when he/she was healthy were also proven to have an impact on the communication attitude of the physician. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the mutual expectations and substance of messages in the informing, empathy and trust sub-dimensions of the communication process between patient relatives and physicians in the ICU. The communication between patient relatives and physicians can be strengthened through a variety of training programs to improve communication skills.Öğe THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE PATIENTS' RELATIVES AND THE PHYSICIANS IN INTENSIVE CARE UNITS WITH RESPECT TO BRAIN DEATH(WILEY, 2017) Cicekci, Faruk; Kara, Iskender; Kara, Inci[Abstract not Available]Öğe The relationship between vasoactive-inotropic score and mortality in adult patients with traumatic brain injury(TURKISH NEUROSURGICAL SOC, 2019) Kara, Iskender; Sargin, Mehmet; Bayraktar, Yesim Serife; Sahinoglu, Mert; Ildarov, Gurban; Duman, Ipek; Celik, Jale Bengi; Karabaglı, HakanAIM: To assess the feasibility of the vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) in determining the amount of vasoactive support and its relationship with the mortality rate and characteristics of the patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). MATERIAL and METHODS: This study was conducted with a retrospective design involving the years 2013-2018 in a university hospital which provides tertiary intensive care service. A total of 102 patients who were admitted in the ICU with the diagnosis of severe TBI, and also were followed by neurosurgery service and who received vasoactive and inotropic support were analyzed concerning VIS value. RESULTS: The median age of the patients was 34 years, and 69.6% of the patients were male. Mortality rate was 43.1%. In the group with mean VIS >= 10, the admission duration in the ICU and hospital were shorter (p<0.0001) whereas mortality rates were higher (81.1% vs 21.5% and p<0.0001). Besides, the number of patients with a VIS score of >= 10, >= 15 and >= 20 were higher in the group of patients who died (p<0.0001). The results of the multivariate analysis such as VIS >= 10 were significant. CONCLUSION: We can conclude that VIS, which is used to determine the amount of vasoactive and inotropic medicines during cardiac surgery and in sepsis patients, may be useful in predicting mortality in TBI patients.Öğe The use of vasoactive-inotropic score in adult patients with septic shock in intensive care(TURKISH SOC MEDICAL & SURGICAL INTENSIVE CARE MEDICINE, 2019) Kara, Iskender; Sargin, Mehmet; Bayraktar, Yeşim Şerife; Eyiol, Hatice; Duman, Ipek; Celik, Jale BengiObjective: Sepsis and septic shock are significant causes of mortality and morbidity. In septic shock, vasopressors and inotropic support are given for the treatment of hypotension. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) and the results of sepsis patients in ICU. Methods: The data of 392 patients who were followed up with the diagnosis of septic shock in adult ICU were recorded retrospectively. Vasopressors and inotropic support of the patients during the first 48 hours after the diagnosis of septic shock were recorded. Mean and peak VIS values were calculated according to these values. The patients were divided into groups according to the mean VlS >= 10, peak VIS >= 10 and intensive care results and statistical analysis was performed. Results: The median ages of the patients were 68 (54.25-79) years and 239 (61%) were male. Dopamine 188 (47.9%), noradrenaline 365 (93.1%), adrenaline 53 (13.5%) and dobutamine 15 (3.8%) were used in the patients. The mean VIS was 9 (4-15), while the number of mean VIS >= 10 patients were 192 (49%). Peak VIS values were 11 (5-20), and the number of peak VIS >= 10 patients were 220 (56.1%). The mortality rate of the patients included in the study was 42.1%. The mean VIS score(13 vs 6, p=0.000), mean VIS >= 10 patient ratio (71.5% vs 32.6%, p=0.000), peak VIS score (16 vs 8, p=0.000), and peak VIS >= 10 patient ratio (73.3% vs 43.6%, p=0.000) were higher in non-survivors. The parameters such as mean VIS [OR 1.123, 95% CI 1.027-1.229, p=0.011], mean VIS >= 10 [OR 3.455, 95% CI 1.625-7.345, p=0.001] and peak VIS score [OR 0.917, 95% CI 0.851-0.989, p=0.024] were determined as independent risk factors for mortality. Conclusion: We conclude that vasoactive-inotropic score may be useful in predicting the outcome of septic shock patients in intensive care units.
