This study aimed to investigate from the perspective of professional SAMU, the main themes of pre-hospital care (PHC), as subsidies for development of an educational tool focused on the school population. A qualitative study, four meetings in the focus group format, with 19 professional SAMU, in a municipality of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Data were categorized and analyzed with thematic analysis. The results highlighted the main issues or health problems of urgent and emergency tool for modeling and possible application in the context of the School Health Program. It was concluded that the selected topics are critical in the context of the APH, the potential severity and the possibility they involve children, even within the school environment.
Highlights
One of the main indicators of a population’s quality of life is its access to the health system; after all, exposure to accidents and other threats to health – such as falls, drownings, burns and poisonings – is increasingly commonplace.[1]
A significant component of atenção pré-hospitalar (APH) is the Ambulance Service, known in Brazil as the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU), which is characterized by its aim of providing quality mobile emergency care, in any place, through telephone calls to the number 192, 24 hours per day.[2,4,5]
The highest volume of attendances provided by SAMU is for clinical health problems,[4] including the neurological health problems (fits, cerebrovascular accident (CVA)), the cardiovascular problems (angina, cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and respiratory problems, besides attendances relating to syncope or fainting, exogenous poisoning and abdominal pain
Summary
One of the main indicators of a population’s quality of life is its access to the health system; after all, exposure to accidents and other threats to health – such as falls, drownings, burns and poisonings – is increasingly commonplace.[1] in Brazil, as in various other countries, the PreHospital Care (APH), having experienced various transformations and the development of complex and specialized technologies, is responsible for the increase in survival of people in serious health conditions,[2,3] as it allows the first conducts to be taken, as well as enabling referral to the appropriate resource, ideally a specialized one. Approximately 130,000 deaths occur in Brazil from intentional external causes (homicides and suicides) or accidents (road traffic accidents, drownings and falls).[2]
