ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Introduction:
The paper covers the problem of pre-hospital hypothermia recognition and management among lifeguards, board guards and policemen, who took part in e-learning course Academy of Hypothermia. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Materials andmethods:
The subject of analysis were the results of pre-test, post-test and lesson revision tests of Academy of Hypothermia e-learning course, taken by lifeguards (WOPR), board guards (SG) and policemen (POL).RESULTS:
Results:
221 participants were enrolled in a study. Lifeguards were significantly younger than other groups (mean age respectively 34,13 years SG; 32,95 years POL and 23,31 years WOPR; p< 0,001) and median work experience (respectively 10 years SG, 8 years POL and 2 years WOPR; p< 0,001). Pre-test analysis showed significant difference in results of board guards and lifeguards (median and q1-q3 values respectively 61%; 43%-92% for SG and 53%; 46%-69% for WOPR, p = 0,02). Post-test analysis proved significantly better results of board guards (median and q1-q3 values 92%; 77%-100%) in comparison to policemen (median and q1-q3 values 85%; 69%-92%) and lifeguards (median and q1-q3 values 85%; 69%-92%). Extra analysis was performed for lesson revision tests. The least correct answers were noted in lessons covering the topic of post trauma hypothermia and the algorithm of hypothermia casualty management.CONCLUSION:
Conclusions:
Lifeguards have least knowledge on accidental hypothermia than board guards and policemen. E-learning course is an effective tool for improving knowledge of hypothermia recognition and treatment.Palavras-chave
