Abstract

Purpose: In relation to perinatal healthcare, medical institutions and resources are limitative and also are in a state of flux due to the therapeutic specialty. We analyzed requests for interhospital transfers received by Busan 1339 Emergency Medical Information Center (EMIC) to grasp the state of perinatal healthcare delivery system. Methods: This study was conducted on the basis of data inputted into the computing system of Busan 1339 EMIC, between January 1 and December 31, 2009. In connection with 378 pregnant women and 136 newborns who were required to transfer, retrospective analyses were made of the success rate of transfer (SR), the number of contacted hospitals, the time required for transfer and the reason of transfer and refusal. Results: In the case of pregnant women, the SR were 65.5%. They came in contact with 2.7 hospitals, and it took 24.4 minutes. As for the reason of transfer, preterm labor accounted for the highest proportion. In the case of newborns, the SR were 71.3%. They came in contact with 2.4 hospitals, and it took 15.6 minutes. The most common reason of transfer were respiratory symptoms. In the reason of refusal with pregnant women and newborn, the lack of medical staff, medical equipments and wards accounted for great. Conclusion: Many pregnant women and newborns have been transferred to hospitals by EMIC, but the SR has not been higher yet. Accordingly, there is a need to evaluate the propriety of perinatal treatment system, as well as to set up effective perinatal healthcare delivery system.

목적: 산모와 신생아 환자의 응급 진료는 치료의 특수성 때문에 치료할 수 있는 의료 기관 및 자원이 한정적이며, 상황에 따라 유동적으로 변화한다. 이에 저자들은 부산 지역 1339 응급의료 정보 센터를 통해 산모와 신생아 환자의 전원 상태를 조사하고, 주산기 의료 전달 체계의 현황을 파악하고자 하였다. 방법: 2009년 1월 1일부터 2009년 12월 31일까지 부산 지역 1339 응급 의료 정보 센터 전산 시스템에 입력된 자료를 이용하였다. 전원이 의뢰된 산모 378명과 신생아 136명을 대상으로 전원 성공률, 전원 결정까지 접촉한 의료 기관 수 및 소요 시간, 전원 이유, 전원 거절 이유를 후향적으로 조사하였다. 결과: 산모는 전원 성공률이 65.5%였고, 전원 결정까지 접촉한 의료 기관은 2.7개, 소요 시간은 평균 24.4분(11.3-29.8분)이었다. 전원을 의뢰한 이유는 미숙아 분만이 가장 많았고, 전원이 거절된 이유는 의료진 부족, 의료 장비 부족, 병상 부족 순이었다. 신생아는 전원 성공률이 71.3%였고. 전원 결정까지 접촉한 의료 기관은 2.4개, 소요 시간은 평균 15.6분(7.9-21.3분)이었다. 전원을 의뢰한 이유는 호흡기 증상이 가장 많았고, 전원이 거절된 이유는 병상 부족, 의료 장비 부족, 의료진 부족 순이었다. 결론: 응급 의료 정보 센터를 통해 많은 산모와 신생아가 전원되나 전원 성공률은 높지 않았다. 산모와 신생아 환자에 대한 주산기 진료 체계의 적정성 평가와 함께 앞으로 통합적이고 지역화된 주산기 의료 전달 체계의 구축을 위해서는 국가적 차원의 접근이 필요하겠다.
