| Abstract |
In 1995 we conducted a retrospective audit on a prospectively collated database to find out which intensive care patients missed out on psychiatric care after self poisoning. Our results showed that 57 patients in 1995 may not have received psychiatric follow-up assessment. Department of Critical Care Medicine (DCCM) follow-up was also less successful for this particular group. It was recommended that on admission to intensive care, all self poisoning patients would be referred to the Liaison Psychiatry Service (LPS).In 1996 we reviewed the databases of DCCM and LPS to determine if the quality of psychiatric follow-up had improved after the initial 1995 audit. In 1996 124 patients had 149 admissions (85F, age range 14.6-85.3, median 35, median GCS 9, 99 ventilated, 3 deaths). Thirteen patients had 25 admissions within 6 months of their index admission , 7/13 had a major psychiatric disorder. Mixed poisoning remained common. Forty-five admissions took cyclic antidepressants, 21 sedatives, 52 other medications, 25 ethanol (median 43 mmol/l ), 30 carbon monoxide and 5 took various non-prescription poisons.Thirteen went home, 32 to other hospitals, 4 to psychiatric hospitals and 97 were transferred to wards within Auckland Hospital. Psychiatric follow-up assessment was successful in 96/97 patients prior to discharge from Auckland Hospital. Those discharged to other hospitals or home were referred and followed up by LPS teams or other Mental Health Services.DCCM follow-up 4-6 weeks post discharge was more successful for 1996 with 120/146 contacted of which 33/120 were receiving ongoing psychiatric care. |
