Resumo: Objective: To evaluate the medical residents’ knowledge of tracheostomy. Materials and Methods: We administered a questionnaire to medical residents to collect information about their training in tracheostomy during the medical course and contact with tracheostomized patients during internship (“Internato de Formação Geral” - IFG). Knowledge about tracheostomy was evaluated through eight multiple-choice questions. Results: We obtained answers f rom 132 participants, of which 74.2% responded that they had not received training in tracheostomy during the medical course and 49.2% reported having had contact with patients with a tracheostomy during IFG. The mean number of correct answers was 4.60 (standard deviation [SD]=1.283). Previous training and contact with tracheostomized patients during IFG were not significantly associated with a higher mean number of correct answers (p= 0.777 and p=0.218, respectively). Conclusions: Undergraduate medical education may have shortcomings regarding tracheostomy training, due to which newly qualified doctors have insufficient knowledge about this topic.

Material e Métodos: Aplicação de um questionário aos médicos internos de formação geral. Foram recolhidas informações sobre a formação prévia em traqueostomias durante o curso de medicina e também sobre contactos com doentes traqueostomizados durante o internato de formação geral (IFG). Os conhecimentos sobre traqueostomias foram avaliados através de 8 questões de escolha múltipla. Resultados: Obtivemos respostas de 132 participantes, dos quais 74,2% afirmaram não ter recebido formação sobre traqueostomias durante o curso de medicina e 49,2% contactaram com doentes traqueostomizados durante o IFG. O número médio de respostas certas foi de 4,60 (d.p.=1,283). A formação prévia e o contacto durante o IFG não se associaram de forma significativa a um maior número médio de respostas certas (p= 0,777 e p=0,218, respetivamente). Conclusões: A educação médica pré-graduada poderá apresentar lacunas na formação sobre traqueostomias, conduzindo a um conhecimento insuficiente por parte dos médicos recém-formados acerca destes temas.Sociedade Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço2023-08-28info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34631/sporl.2032https://doi.org/10.34631/sporl.2032Portuguese Journal of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery; Vol. 61 No. 2 (2023): June; 149-156Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço; Vol. 61 Núm. 2 (2023): Junho; 149-156Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia-Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço; Vol. 61 N.º 2 (2023): Junho; 149-1562184-6499reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPengporhttps://journalsporl.com/index.php/sporl/article/view/2032https://journalsporl.com/index.php/sporl/article/view/2032/33https://journalsporl.com/index.php/sporl/article/view/2032/34Direitos de Autor (c) 2023 Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia-Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoçoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCunha-Cabral, DiogoAlves Carção, AndréMarques Gomes, PedroDuarte, DelfimFerreira Penêda, José2024-06-06T12:57:01Zoai:journalsporl.com:article/2032Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openairemluisa.alvim@gmail.comopendoar:71602024-06-06T12:57:01Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
