초록

연구목적 자살시도로 음독을 시도한 환자가 응급실에 내원했을 때, 응급의학과, 내과, 정신건강의학과가 서로 의사소통을 하고 우선순위에 따른 처치를 하는 것은 중요하다. 본 연구는 약물중독 환자에 대한 다학제 응급협진체계(이하 약물중독 응급협진체계)의 효용성을 검증하고자 시행되었다. 방 법 약물중독 응급협진체계 구축을 위해 정신건강의학과, 응급의학과, 내과의 전문의가 협의체를 구성하여, 응급실 내원 당시 복용 약물의 종류와 의식 수준에 따른 담당 진료과 및 협진의뢰과 배정, 각 과별 약물중독 환자 전담 교수 배정, 정기회의, 협진 응답 소요시간 제한, 원내 생명사랑위기대응센터 및 지역사회 자원 연계 등을 모두 프로토콜화하였다. 본 연구에서는 약물중독 응급협진체계가 시행되기 전인 2017년 7월부터 2018년 5월까지의 기간과, 시행 이후인 2018년 7월부터 2019년 5월까지의 의무기록 데이터를 후향적으로 통계분석하여, 약물 중독 응급협진체계의 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 결 과 약물중독 응급협진체계 시행 후, 시행 전에 비해 중환자실보다 개방병동으로의 입원이 유의하게 증가하였다(χ2=8.567, p=0.014). 또한 타과로 입원한 환자 중 정신건강의학과로의 협진 비율이 증가하는 경향을 보였고χ2=4.202, p=0.053), 협진 응답 소요시간은 감소하였다(Z=-2.031, p=0.042). 한편, 협진 결과 전과된 환자의 비율이 증가였하고(χ2=4.692, p=0.043), 전과까지 소요된 시간은 감소하는 경향을 보였다(Z=-1.941, p=0.052). 결 론 약물중독 응급협진체계 시행 후 불필요한 중환자실 입원, 협진 응답 소요시간, 전과 소요시간이 감소하였으며, 협진 의뢰 비율 및 전과 비율은 증가하였다. 이는 다학제 협진체계가 환자에게 필수적인 의료서비스를 보다 적은 의료비용으로 신속하게 제공하였음을 의미한다. 향후 약물중독 이외의 자살시도에 대해서도 응급협진체계를 구축하여, 각 과 간 명확하고 책임있는 의학적 권고를 신속하게 공유한다면, 환자의 치료 및 의료비용 측면에서 긍정적인 효과를 보일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Objectives : When a patient who attempts suicide visits the emergency room, it is important that the departments of emergency medicine, internal medicine, and psychiatry communicate with each other and prioritize treatment. This study was conducted to verify the effectiveness of the multidisciplinary emergency consultation system (ECS) for drug intoxicated patients. Methods : We retrospectively analyzed the data from medical records prior to the ECS, from July 2017 to May 2018, and after the ECS, from July 2018 to May 2019, to verify the effectiveness of the system. Results : After the ECS, admission to open wards was significantly higher than to the intensive care units (χ2=8.567, p=0.014). In addition, the proportion of consultations to the department of psychiatry among patients admitted to other departments tended to increase (χ2=4.202, p=0.053), and the time required for consultation response decreased (Z=-2.031, p=0.042). As a result of the consultation, the proportion of the patients who had been transferred to the department of psychiatry was increased (χ2=4.692, p=0.043), and the time spent to transfer tended to decrease (Z=-1.941, p=0.052). Conclusions : After implementing the ECS for drug intoxicated patients, unnecessary intensive care unit admissions, consultation response time, and the time spent to transfer were reduced, and the rate of consultation referrals and transfer rates increased. This means that the multidisciplinary consultation system rapidly provided essential medical services to patients at lower medical costs.
