Evaluation of Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT ratio and Tp-e/QTc ratio in blunt chest trauma patients

Öz:

BACKGROUND: After blunt chest trauma, life-threatening arrhythmias may occur in the early post-injury period, as well as a fewdays after the injury. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of arrhythmias in blunt chest trauma patients using Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QTratio and Tp-e/QTc ratio.METHODS: In this study, patients who applied to the emergency department due to blunt chest trauma were examined prospectively.The 12-lead ECG was performed to both blunt chest trauma and control group. ECG measurements of QT and Tp-e intervalswere performed from both groups.RESULTS: A total of 81 participants; 41 blunt chest trauma patients and 40 healthy volunteers were included in this study. Tpe, Tpe/QT, Tpe/QTc values were statistically significant in the trauma group compared to the control group (p<0.001). Although Tpe/QTc,max QT and min QT were statistically significant (p<0.05) in patients with a rib fracture, no difference was detected concerning Tpe,Tpe/QT compared to no-rib fracture group (p>0.05).CONCLUSION: Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT ratio and Tp-e/QTc ratio in ECG predict the arrhythmias that may occur in blunt cardiactrauma, especially in blunt chest trauma patients.

Künt göğüs travması hastalarında Tp-e aralığı, Tp-e/QT oranı ve Tp-e/QTc oranının değerlendirilmesi

Öz:

AMAÇ: Künt göğüs travmasından sonra, yaralanma sonrası erken dönemde ve yaralanmadan birkaç gün sonra hayati tehlike oluşturan aritmiler ortaya çıkabilir. Bu çalışmada, künt göğüs travma hastalarında Tp-e aralığı, Tp-e/QT oranı ve Tp-e/QTc oranı kullanılarak aritmi riskini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Bu çalışmada künt göğüs travması nedeniyle acil servise başvuran hastalar ileriye yönelik olarak incelendi. Künt göğüs travması ve kontrol gruplarına 12 derivasyonlu EKG uygulandı. Her iki gruptan da QT ve Tp-e aralıklarının EKG ölçümleri yapıldı. BULGULAR: Kırk bir künt göğüs travmalı hasta ve 40 sağlıklı gönüllü olmak üzere, toplamda 81 katılımcı çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tpe, Tpe/QT, Tpe/ QTc değerleri travma grubunda kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p<0.01). Her ne kadar Tpe/QTc, maksimum QT ve min QT, kaburga kırığı olan hastalarda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olsada (p<0.05) kaburga kırığı olmayan gruba göre Tpe, Tpe/QT açısından fark bulunmadı (p>0.05). TARTIŞMA: EKG’de Tpe aralığı, Tp-e/QT oranı ve Tp-e/QTc oranı, künt kardiyak travmada, özellikle künt göğüs travma hastalarında oluşabilecek aritmileri öngörmektedir.
