Abstract

A capacitação do leigo para atendimento precoce em situações de emergência e instituição do suporte básico de vida (SBV) é fundamental para salvar vidas e prevenir seqüelas. O objetivo foi identificar o nível de informação dos leigos sobre abordagem de vítima em emergência. Utilizou-se entrevista estruturada em linguagem não-técnica. Amostra foi de 385 sujeitos, com idade média de 35,4 (± 14,55) anos, sendo que mais de 50% cursaram ensino médio e superior. Mais de 55% destes sujeitos observaram situações com perda da consciência. Destes, apenas 31% chamaram socorro especializado. 34% realizaram curso de primeiros socorros,mas apenas 13% destes sentem-se preparados. O local mais citado foi o Curso de Formação de Condutores (CFC) 35,9%. Outros locais de treinamento foram superiores ao comparar com CFC (p=0,048). Quase 17% não sabem reconhecer presença de sinais de vida. Quase 31% não conhecem o número telefônico do serviço de emergência. Os leigos possuem conhecimentos incompletos ou incorretos sobre atendimento às vítimas desacordadas.

La capacitación de personas imperitas en la atención precoz de emergencias y el establecimiento del soporte básico de vida (SBV) es fundamental para salvar personas y prevenir secuelas. El objetivo fue identificar el nivel de información de personas imperitas en casos de emergencia. Se utilizó la entrevista estructurada sin lenguaje técnico. La muestra 385 sujetos, edad media 35.4 (± 14.55) años. Más del 50% tenían educación secundaria y superior. Más del 55% observaron casos de pérdida de conciencia. De ellos, solo el 31% llamaron al auxilio especializado, 34% realizaron curso de primeros auxilios, sin embargo solo el 13% se sienten preparados. El lugar más citado fue el Curso de Formación de Conductores (CFC) 35.9%, otros lugares fueron superiores al ser comparados con CFC (p=0,048). Aproximadamente 17% no reconocen signos de vida y casi el 31% desconocen el número telefónico del servicio de emergencia. Estas personas tienen conocimientos incompletos o incorrectos para casos de víctimas inconscientes.

The layperson's qualification to provide early care in emergency situations and basic life support (BLS) is fundamental to save lives and prevent sequels. The objective was to identify the level of knowledge of lay people about approaching an emergency victim. Structured interviews in non-technical language were used with a 385-subject sample, average age 35.4 (± 14.55) years, with more than 50% having a high school or university education. Over 55% of these observed situations with loss of consciousness, but only 31% called for specialized help. 34% underwent a first-aid course, but only 13% feel prepared. The most often cited place of learning was the driving school (DS), 35.9%. Other training places were higher when compared to the DS (p = 0.048). Almost 17% do not know how to recognize the presence of vital signs. Almost 31% do not know the telephone number of the emergency service. Laypersons have incomplete or incorrect knowledge about care for unconscious victims.
