Abstract
Amaç: Yoğun bakım ortamı ve uygulanan yöntemler sempatoadarenal aktivitenin belirgin stimülasyonuna yol
açabilir. Sempatik aktivasyon sırasında plazmada artan katekolamin düzeyleri
ile QT intervali arasında direkt bağlantı olduğu yönünde yayınlar mevcuttur. Bu
sebeple bu çalışmanın amacı; rutinde uygulanan endotrakeal aspirasyonun aritmi belirteçleri olan QT intervali ve QT
dispersiyonu üzerine etkilerini ortaya koymaktır.
Yöntem: Solunum
yetmezliği nedeniyle yoğun bakım ünitesine alınmış, mekanik ventilatöre bağlı
ve yaşları 30-70 arası olan bireylerden toplam 90 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi.
Qt intervalini uzatan ilaç kullanan, hemodinamisi stabil olmayan hastalar ile
edinsel ya da konjenital uzun QT sendromu olan hastalar çalışma kapsamına
alınmadı. Tüm hastalara endotrakeal aspirasyondan (ET) 1 dakika öne %100 O2
ile preoksijenizasyon uygulandı. Tüm hastaların yaşları, tanıları, sistolik kan
basınçları (SAB), diyastolik kan basınçları (DAB), ortalama kan basınçları
(OAB), kalp atış hızları (KH), periferik oksijen saturasyonları (SpO2),
QT, QTc değerleri, Glasgow Koma Skoru puanları endotrakeal aspirasyondan 5
dakika önce, aspirasyon sırasında, aspirasyondan 5 ve 10 dakika sonra
kaydedildi.
Bulgular: ET aspirasyon
sırasında ortalama QTc değeri 445.1± 23.0 ms, ortalama Qt değeri 379.2± 19.3 ms
idi. Çalışmaya alınan hastaların % 14'ünde bazal QTc değerlerinin 420 ms'nin
üzerinde olduğu tespit edildi. Bazal değerlere göre hemen hemen tüm hastalarda;
ET aspirasyon sırasında ve aspirasyondan 5 ile 10 dakika sonra QT ve QTc
aralıkları uzamıştır.
Sonuç: QT
intervali uzaması her zaman düzeltilmiş QT aralığı hesaplanarak kontrol
edilmeli ve yoğun bakım ünitesi hekimlerinin
koroner kalp hastalığı ve konjenital uzun QT sendromu olan hastalarda ölümcül
ventriküler aritmiler açısından daha dikkatli olmaları gerekmektedir.

Abstract
Objective: The intensive care unit (ICU) environment and applied methods may lead
to a significant stimulation of sympathoadrenal activity. There
are studies about the direct connection between increased plasma catecholamine
levels during sympathetic activation and QT interval. Therefore, the aim of
this study is to determine the effects of endotracheal aspiration on QT
interval and QT dispersion.
Method: 90 patients
connected to a mechanical ventilator from the ages of 30-70 in ICU were taken
into study. Patients taking any drug that prolongs QT, patients with unstable
hemodynamia and congenital QT prolongation were excluded. Preoxygenation was
done to all patients with 100% O2 administration for 1 minute before
the endotracheal aspiration (ET). Age, diagnosis, weight, systolic blood
pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP),
heart rate (HR), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), QT, QTc,
Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) values were recorded before, during, 5 minutes after
and 10 minutes after the ET aspiration.
Results: During ET
aspiration, the mean QTc value was 445.1±23.0 milliseconds (ms), the mean QT
value was 379.2±19.3 ms. In 14% of
the patients included in the study, basal QTc values above 420 ms were found to
be prolonged. According to basal values, QT and QTc intervals were prolonged in
almost all patients during, 5 minutes after and 10 minutes after the ET
aspiration.
Conclusions: QT interval prolongation should always be
checked by calculating corrected QT interval, and ICU physicians need to be
more careful in patients with coronary heart disease and congenital prolonged QT
interval in terms of fatal ventricular arrhythmias.
