Keywords:
Burn, Patient, Management, AssessmentAbstract
The objective of this research was to evaluate the initial medical support of the burn patient by health personnel. This Research was useful since it demonstrated that health personnel in emergency rooms do not have adequate knowledge to carry out the initial assessment and approach to the patient with a burn. The line of research was framed in Health Sciences, specifically in the area of knowledge of Caumatology or Burn Medicine, having a rationalist-deductive epistemological approach, as well as positivist, being a feasible, observational and transversal project. The sample was taken by intentional non-probabilistic sampling, with 318 people surveyed. The data was collected in a previously validated survey type form. The data were processed statistically and organized in tables and tables where the variables were displayed. The analysis of the research results was carried out through descriptive statistics. The conclusion was that the majority of medical and nursing personnel located in non-specialized centers for the initial management of patients with burns do not know the initial evaluation protocol, nor the possibility of the appropriate approach necessary in the first 24 hours afterward to the adverse event.
