Özet:

 Aim: In this study, it was examined whether the anamnesis taken by pre-hospital paramedics and the physical examination performed in a limited time were effective as intended in non-trauma patients brought to a secondary level district state hospital by ambulance. In addition, it was evaluated whether appropriate preliminary diagnoses were made during the evaluations and these preliminary diagnoses were compared with the definitive diagnoses made after the examinations performed in the emergency room. Methods: Between 01.01.2023 and 30.06.2023, patients brought to a State Hospital by ambulance were retrospectively analyzed. All age groups brought from the field for non-traumatic reasons were included in the study. Patients referred from another hospital, admitted to another ward for hospitalization and brought to the emergency department with cardiopulmonary arrest were not included in the study. Results: During the study period, all patients brought to our emergency department by ambulance were examined. The mean age of the patients was 66. More than half of the cases were female 57.7. When we compared which system in the body the symptoms and preliminary diagnoses considered by the paramedics belonged to and which system the definitive diagnoses made in the emergency department belonged to, it was observed that there was a statistically moderate level of agreement between the pathologies considered by the 112 teams and the pathologies considered by the emergency department physicians in all body systems except genitourinary system pathologies Kappa 0.558. Conclusion: It was observed that the preliminary diagnosis or symptom stated in the case form by ambulance workers working in prehospital emergency health services was similar to the definitive diagnostic systems in the emergency department.However, it was determined that 74.9 of the case forms stated symptoms instead of preliminary diagnosis. This may be due to paramedics not wanting to take responsibility by stating a more general approach to patient handover.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmada ambulansla ikinci basamak bir ilçe devlet hastanesine getirilen travma dışı hastalarda hastane öncesi paramediklerin aldığı anemnez ve kısıtlı sürede yaptığı fizik muayenenin hedeflenen etkinliği gösterip göstermediği incelenmiştir. Ayrıca yapılan değerlendirmelerde uygun ön tanıların konulup konulmadığı değerlendirilmiş ve bu ön tanılar acil serviste yapılan muayeneler sonrası konulan kesin tanılarla karşılaştırılmıştır. Yöntemler: 01.01.2023 ile 30.06.2023 tarihleri arasında bir Devlet Hastanesine ambulans ile getirilen hastalar retrospektif olarak incelendi. Travma dışı nedenlerle sahadan getirilen tüm yaş grupları çalışmaya dahil edildi. Başka bir hastaneden sevk edilen ve kardiyopulmoner arrest ile acil servise getirilen hastalar çalışmaya dahil edilmedi. Bulgular: Çalışma süresi boyunca acil servisimize ambulans ile getirilen tüm hastalar incelendi. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 66 idi. Olguların yarısından fazlası kadındı 57,7. Paramedikler tarafından düşünülen semptom ve ön tanıların vücuttaki hangi sisteme dahil oldukları ile acil serviste konulan kesin tanıların hangi sisteme dahil oldukları karşılaştırıldığında, 112 ekipleri tarafından düşünülen patolojiler ile acil servis hekimleri tarafından düşünülen patolojiler arasında genitoüriner sistem patolojileri hariç tüm vücut sistemlerinde istatistiksel olarak orta düzeyde bir uyum olduğu görüldü Kappa 0.558. Sonuç: Hastane öncesi acil sağlık hizmetlerinde görev yapan ambulans çalışanlarının vaka formunda belirttikleri ön tanı veya semptomun acil servisteki kesin tanı sistemleri ile benzer olduğu görülmüştür. Ancak vaka formlarının 74,9unda ön tanı yerine semptom belirtildiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu durum, paramediklerin hasta tesliminde daha genel bir yaklaşım belirterek sorumluluk almak istememelerinden kaynaklanmış olabilir.
