Nargile ve Sigara Kullanımının Nefeste Karbon Monoksit Düzeyine Etkisi

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the effect of smoking cigarette and hookah to the breath carbon monoxide level. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional research was performed in İstanbul hookah cafes and in Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Hospital Family Medicine policlinic, who applied for any complaint and accepted to include in the study, who were over the age of 18. After getting the information about sociodemographic factors and smoking features of individuals who use hookah and cigarette, the breath carbon monoxide levels were measured. Using the appropriate statistical methods p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 215 participants, 78.6% (n=169) of them were male, 61.9% (n=133) were single. 57.2% (n=123) of them was self-employment. The average carbon monoxide levels were 45.65±27.87 ppm in the group that uses both hookah and cigarettes; 45.35 ± 30.74 ppm in only hookah users and 16.22±11.97 ppm in only smokers group. There was a significant positive linear relationship between the amount of smoked cigarettes and hookah with the carbon monoxide level. The average carbon monoxide value was greater in the group who were using hookah and cigarette together. Conclusion: The use of hookah increases the level of breath carbon monoxide more than cigarette. The breath carbon monoxide level increases linearly as the amount of cigarettes/hookah increase.Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, nargile ve sigara içiminin nefeste karbon monoksid düzeyine etkisini karşılaştırmaktır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı-kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma İstanbul ilindeki nargile kafelerde ve Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Aile Hekimliği Polikliniği’ne herhangi bir sebeple başvuran ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 18 yaş üzeri bireylerde yapıldı.
