Resumo: | This research's objective was to outline the epidemiological profile of firearm injury victims attended in the emergency unit of a university hospital in 2007. It aimed as well to characterize pre and intra hospital care. It is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 98 patients. The majority of victims presented a single firearm injury, were young, male, single, from the city of Londrina, Paraná. The injury main cause was robbery. The ambulances of the Trauma and Emergency Care Integrated System (in Portuguese, SIATE) were the most employed means of transportation and the main provider of pre-hospital care. The most common pre and intra-hospital care procedures were dressing, immobilization and fluid replacement, respectively. Prolonged hospitalization, need for intensive care and surgery as well as injury related disabilities and deaths occurred. The epidemiology of firearms injuries must be better understood although its control depends on interventions that are outside the healthcare scope |

Se trata de un estudio transversal con enfoque cuantitativo. La muestra consistió en 89 pacientes. La mayoría de las víctimas tenían una sola herida por proyectil de arma de fuego, eran jóvenes, varones, solteros, de la ciudad de Londrina. La causa principal era asalto. Las ambulancias de Traumas y Emergencias del Sistema Integrado de Salud fueron los vehículos más utilizados y los más responsables de la atención pre- hospitalaria (APH). Los procedimientos más realizados en la APH y en la atención intrahospitalaria, respectivamente, fueron curativo, inmovilización y reposición volémica. Hubo internaciones prolongadas, necesidad de UTI y cirugías, además de óbitos e incapacidad. Las armas de fuego tienen gran importancia epidemiológica y por ello es necesario que su control implique otras esferas más allá del alcance del área de saludObjetivou-se com esta pesquisa traçar o perfil epidemiológico das vítimas de ferimento por projétil de arma de fogo (FPAF) atendidas no pronto-socorro de um hospital universitário em 2007, bem como caracterizar o atendimento no ambiente pré- e intra-hospitalar. Utilizou-se a abordagem quantitativa e de natureza transversal. A amostra constituiu-se de 98 pacientes. A maioria das vítimas tinha ferimento único por projétil de arma de fogo, eram jovens, do sexo masculino, solteiros, provenientes de Londrina. A principal causa foi o assalto. O SIATE foi o transporte mais utilizado e o principal responsável pelo atendimento pré-hospitalat (APH). Os procedimentos mais realizados no APH e no atendimento intra-hospitalar, respectivamente, foram o curativo, a imobilização e a reposição volêmica. Ocorreram internações prolongadas, necessidade de UTI e cirurgias, além de óbitos e incapacidades. Portanto, as armas de fogo têm grande importância epidemiológica, havendo a necessidade de intervenções que vão além da esfera da saúdeUniversidade Federal de Minas Gerais2011-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/plainapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50377REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 15 No. 3 (2011)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 15 Núm. 3 (2011)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; v. 15 n. 3 (2011)2316-93891415-2762reponame:Reme (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50377/41929https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50377/41930Copyright (c) 2011 Reme: Revista Mineira de Enfermageminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessZandomenighi, Robson CristianoMartins, Eleine Aparecida PenhaMouro, Douglas Lima2024-01-24T15:39:17Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/50377Revistaremeufmg@gmail.comPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/oairemeufmg@gmail.com2316-93891415-2762opendoar:2024-01-24T15:39:17Reme (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
