[The characteristics of patients hospitalized in a general therapy department in connection with emergency pulmonary states].
An analysis was done of urgent pulmonologic states, because of which states those hospitalized had been sent to a general therapy department. Over the year, 237 persons had been admitted into hospital through emergency first aid service, with urgent pulmonologic states making up 51.5% (n = 122) of the total, bronchial asthma (BA) and acute lung inflammation (ALI) predominating (55 and 55 subjects respectively). BA patients were found to be unable to recognize the worsening of their state in good time, they fail to keep in touch with pulmonologists and district hospitals. The main reason why ALI patients had been admitted into hospital on an urgent basis was intoxication syndrome and broncho-obstructive syndrome. In 20% of ALI hospitalizations, there was divergence in diagnoses (referral versus clinical ones).
