Resumo: This present study aimed to understand the causes and profile of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) victims attended to at an emergency healthcare clinic in the city of Pelotas, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This is a quantitative, retrospective, and descriptive study in which the data were collected from Patients Charts (PC) of TBI victims who were treated in 2008. A total of496 TBI PCs were analyzed, the majority of which were male, with an average of 0 to 15 years of age, who lived in urban areas of Pelotas. As regards severity, light TBI was most commonly observed, although for 56.3% of the TBI victims, this information was not present in their PCs. From the total population whose PC presented an ignored TBI, 36% were between 0 and 15 years of age, while 28% were between 16 and 30. The predominant etiologies, when comparing all age ranges, were falls, at 47%, followed by aggressions. The age most affected by TBI was 1-year-olds. It could be observed that TBI most commonly affects children, a fact that can be explained by infantile behavior and growth, as well as by inadequate supervision. Considering the data from this research, the elaboration of a healthcare protocol for these victims, the creation of prevention programs, and further studies on this issue are warranted.

Se trata de un estudio de carácter cuantitativo, retrospectivo y descriptivo. La recogida de datos se llevó a cabo en las fichas de atención (FA) de las víctimas de TCE atendidas en 2008.Fueron analizadas 496 FA de víctimas de TCE, con predominio del sexo masculino. La franja de edad más afectada fue la de 0 a 15 años, la mayoría vivía dentro del perímetro urbano de Pelotas. Con relación a la gravedad, el TCE leve fue el más evidente a pesar de que en las fichas de atención un 56,3% de las víctimas no lo indicaba. Del total de la población con TCE ignorado, 36% tenían entre 0 y 15 años y 28% entre 16 y 30 años. Las etiologías predominantes fueron las caídas con 47%, seguidas de las agresiones, cuando se comparan con todas las franjas de edad. La edad más afectada por TCE fue la de 1 año. Se percibe que el TCE afecta más a los niños, hecho que puede explicarse por el comportamiento y desarrollo infantil y también por la supervisión inadecuada. Frente a los datos de esta investigación es pertinente la elaboración de un protocolo de atención a estas víctimas, ejecución de programas de prevención y realización de más estudios sobre el tema.O objetivo foi conhecer as causas e o perfil das vítimas com traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) atendidas em um Pronto-Socorro da cidade de Pelotas, no Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Estudo de caráter quantitativo, retrospectivo e descritivo, no qual os dados foram coletados de Fichas de Atendimento (FA) das vítimas de TCE atendidas no ano de 2008. Foram analisadas 496 FAs de vítimas de TCE, com predomínio do sexo masculino. A faixa etária mais acometida foi de zero a 15 anos e a maioria residia no perímetro urbano de Pelotas. Quanto à gravidade, o TCE leve foi mais evidenciado, embora 56,3% das vítimas de TCE não apresentassem esse registro na FA. Do total da população que apresentou TCE ignorado, 36% tinham zero a 15 anos e 28% de 16 a 30 anos. As etiologias predominantes foram as quedas, com 47%, seguidas pelas agressões, quando comparadas com todas as faixas etárias. A idade mais atingida por TCE foi a de um ano. Percebe-se que o TCE acomete mais as crianças, fato que pode ser explicado pelo comportamento e desenvolvimento infantil e também pela supervisão inadequada. Frente aos dados desta pesquisa, é pertinente a elaboração de um protocolo de atendimento a essas vítimas, realização de programas de prevenção e mais estudos sobre o tema.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2013-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/plainapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/5020710.5935/1415-2762.20130064REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 17 No. 4 (2013)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 17 Núm. 4 (2013)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; v. 17 n. 4 (2013)2316-93891415-2762reponame:Reme (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporenghttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50207/41535https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50207/41536https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50207/41537Copyright (c) 2013 Reme: Revista Mineira de Enfermageminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, Fernanda dosCasagranda, Letícia PilottoLange, CelmiraFarias, Juliano Carvalho dePereira, Patrícia MirapalhetaJardim, Vanda Maria da RosaTorres, Ana Amália Pereira2024-01-24T13:20:19Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/50207Revistaremeufmg@gmail.comPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/oairemeufmg@gmail.com2316-93891415-2762opendoar:2024-01-24T13:20:19Reme (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
