Rare Medico Legal Cases of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
Objective: While Multiple Life-threatening Conditions (MLCs) admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit represent a substantial healthcare burden, the risk factors, epidemiological data, and clinical manifestations of these cases have yet to be systematically and comprehensively documented. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital, Bursa, Turkey, between January 1, 2017, and January 1, 2022. The study included 31 males (35.4%) and 17 females (64.6%) with an average age of 4.7 ± 4.1 years. MLCs were classified into nine groups, including Foreign Body Aspiration (FBA), Blunt Trauma (BT), Asphyxia (ASP), Firearm Injury (FI), Sharp and Penetrating Object Injury (SPOI), Electric Injury (EI), Sports-Related Injury (SRI), Animal Bite Injury (ABI), and Home Accident (HA).

The average hospital stay for FBA cases in the general ward was 3 days (range: 1-11 days), and in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit was 2 days (range: 1-8 days). Blunt Trauma (BT) cases had an average hospital stay of 4 days (range: 1-12 days) in the general ward and 3 days (range: 1-10 days) in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

Understanding the risk factors, clinical presentations, and healthcare costs associated with these cases is essential for healthcare professionals and policymakers in their pursuit of reducing the incidence of MLCs.
