INTRODUCTION

One of the main indicators of a population's quality of life is its access to the health system; after all, exposure to accidents and other threats to health - such as falls, drownings, burns and poisonings - is increasingly commonplace.¹ Thus, in Brazil, as in various other countries, the Pre-Hospital Care (APH), having experienced various transformations and the development of complex and specialized technologies, is responsible for the increase in survival of people in serious health conditions,^{2 - 3} as it allows the first conducts to be taken, as well as enabling referral to the appropriate resource, ideally a specialized one.

A significant component of APH is the Ambulance Service, known in Brazil as the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU), which is charac-terized by its aim of providing quality mobile emergency care, in any place (homes, workplaces and public highways), through telephone calls to the number 192, 24 hours per day.^{2 , 4 - 5}

The highest volume of attendances provided by SAMU is for clinical health problems,⁴ including the neurological health problems (fits, cerebrovascular accident (CVA)), the cardiovascular problems (angina, cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and respiratory problems (asthma, dyspnea, pneumonia), besides attendances relating to syncope or fainting, exogenous poisoning and abdominal pain.

One threat to health of extreme relevance to the APH, and responsible for a significant number of deaths, is represented by traumas. Each year, approximately 130,000 deaths occur in Brazil from intentional external causes (homicides and suicides) or accidents (road traffic accidents, drownings and falls).²

The response time for urgent situations and, especially, emergencies, is fundamental for the success of the attendance, as the establishment of the first care measures can mean the difference between life and death.⁵

Cases are common in which, until the ambulance arrives, the doctor responsible for assessing situations and providing advice in the SAMU control center passes on over the telephone the first care measures and maneuvers to be taken for the individual at risk, which will depend on the specific situation of each case. It is in this sense that the first interventions are emphasized and gain importance, as they are responsible for reducing sequelae and suffering.

In general, this first attendance is undertaken by the person who requests help from the SAMU, as the interlocutor for the person who suffered the health problem, with the support of the advice and referrals given by the doctor providing assessment and advice in the SAMU center. For this, notions regarding emergency care can and must be spread, not only among professionals of the health area, but also among the population in general. In this study, emphasis is placed on the school-age population, given that this is already able to assimilate objective information and assist in undertaking the first measures of care in emergency situations, which can occur with oneself or others. Besides this, when advised correctly, schoolchildren are able to intervene positively or, further, to adopt measures regarding prevention for health problems and risk situations.

Intersectorial actions can be triggered as a strategy for achieving objectives of accident prevention in childhood.⁶ Brazil's School Health Program (PSE)⁷ supports this premise, establishing a partnership between the professionals of the Family Health Strategy and schools, for the undertaking of activities which make them co-responsible for their health condition and empower them for assertive decision-making in relation to their health and to the health of the community in which they are inserted.

Through questioning regarding which emergency situations could be addressed in the school-age population, this study sought to investigate, in the perspective of the SAMU professionals, and based in the literature, the main topics of pre-hospital care to be addressed with that population. The topics brought up have the aim of supporting the development of an educational instrument geared towards the school-age population.

METHOD

This study, with a qualitative approach, was undertaken using the technique of meetings in the format of the Focus Group (FG), which makes it possible to obtain qualitative information through informal discussions among a group of people with characteristics in common, in which the researcher acts as an encourager in the exchanging of interpersonal information.⁸

Of a total of 48 professionals invited (20 physicians, 05 nurses, 09 nursing technicians and 14 ambulance drivers), 19 agreed to participate, these being 4 nursing technicians, 4 staff nurses, 9 ambulance drivers and 2 emergency physicians. All worked in direct care for the community, as part of Basic Life Support Unit (USB) teams or the Advanced Life Support Unit (USA).

Four FGs were held, based in the base of the on-duty teams in the SAMU of a city in the Brazilian State of Santa Catarina, between the months of October and November 2012. Authorization was obtained for sound-recording all the meetings, which were led by one of the researchers and a collaborator, invited to undertake the role of observer, recording the non-verbal communication in the discussions, without contributing, in relation to difficulties, interactions and spontaneity of the participants in the discussions.

The meetings were guided by key-questions, as well as by the use of a topics guide, defined by general questions which lead the discussions towards matters which need to be addressed.⁸ The topics guide was made up of central topics, that is, autonomous questions central to the discussion, besides subcategories or specific issues, related to the central theme, and stimuli, such as figures, cartoons, videos, etc, whose images had to do with the central issue of the meeting.⁸ These resources were presented using multimedia (Microsoft PowerPoint(r)), making adequate visualization by the group possible.

The audio files were transcribed and grouped. The data were categorized in accordance with the central theme and the information was treated and interpreted, using the technique of thematic analysis,⁹ which included: a) pre-analysis, through skim reading, aiming for the organization of the information transcribed; b) exploration of the content, producing the coding, the classification and the categorization of the topics suggested by the participants; and c) the treatment and the interpretation of the results, in which it was sought to highlight the topics identified, in the light of the literature. The thematic analysis of the FGs resulted in four thematic categories, grouped with the following titles: The SAMU and the school: education and health promotion for children; How SAMU functions: what is important to know?; Something is wrong, what do I do now?; and We are nearly finishing, give your opinion.

The surveying of the topics proposed for making up an educational instrument, for children inserted in the context of the PSE, was deepened in the third meeting of the FG. In this, with the central topic questioning regarding "what urgent and emergency situations do you highlight to be addressed with the school-age population?", The results were grouped in the thematic category entitled "Something is wrong, what do I do now?".

It was from this category that the main threats to health, with an urgent and emergency character, attended in the scenario of the APH, and which the SAMU professionals considered important for making up an educational instrument for schoolchildren, resulted.

These threats to health listed with greater emphasis in the third FG, due to their relevance, were re-grouped, categorized and systematized for discussion with the literature, in accordance with the sequence suggested by the FG: Fainting, covering fits (epilepsy) and cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA); Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia; Foreign Body Airway Obstruction (FBAO); Accidents, covering road traffic accidents and domestic accidents (venomous animals, poisonings and burns). Each one of these topics constitutes a key-word for searching using the Google Scholar(r) search engine. Only the topics of AMI and CVA were not included in this study, due to their low incidence among children and the school environment.

The study was approved by the Committee for Ethics in Research with Human Beings, under Opinion n° 144.453/12. The accounts were validated by the participants, via e-mail, and were presented in this study as R1 (Respondent 1), R2 (Respondent 2) and so on.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The topics proposed by the FG for making up an educational instrument geared towards the school-age population were selected because they dealt with emergency health issues, important in the scenario of APH, considering the role which the schoolchildren can perform in this context, as in the account: [...] We know of cases in which children made the difference in the attendance (R4).

The topics were established by the FG empirically, that is, based on the frequency and the occurrence of the attendances undertaken during the routine workday, and are characterized in table 1.

Table 1 -
Main topics of pre-hospital care for the construction of an educational instrument for schoolchildren, according to the professionals of the SAMU, 2012

Characterization	Specific topics	Subtopics
My God, he has fallen!	Fainting	Fits Cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA)
He is snoring, is he sleeping?	Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia	None
He has choked, what do I do now?	Foreign Body Airway Obstruction (FBAO)	None
What has happened here?	Accidents	Domestic accidents Poisonings Venomous animals Burns

Although other topics have been surveyed, this study presents and discusses those thematic sets highlighted in the literature, due to their relevance due to their affecting children, or occurring in their presence, or even within the school environment.

"My God he has fallen!" - fainting, fits (epilepsy) and cardiopulmonary arrest

Fainting has various causes and two hazards to health can be confused with this: epilepsy and the CPA. These stand out from the others because of their high incidence and the seriousness and imminent risk of death which they entail. The FG chose to address these topics with the aim of analyzing the child population in differentiating between fainting and losing consciousness, whether due to an episode of an epileptic fit or because of CPA. In this last case, the rapid and correct identification are the first links in the chain of survival.

Epilepsy is considered the most common chronic and serious neurological condition worldwide, affecting all age ranges, irrespective of the individual's race and purchasing power, and has a high rate of incidence and prevalence in childhood and adolescence.^{10 - 12} The most frequent crises are of the generalized tonic-clonic type, characterized by the loss of consciousness, rigidity and muscular spasm, generally accompanied by the relaxation of the sphincters, as well as by oral bleeding due to the possibility of biting the tongue. This fact is responsible for the myth that, during the crisis, it is possible to swallow the tongue, as expressed in the account: I have attended persons with cuts on their hands because they had gone to help somebody who was convulsing and they put their hand in the person's mouth, to try to hold the tongue. So we explain that this doesn't happen, but they say that it can (R7).

Teachers, parents, family members and caregivers, guided by inadequate knowledge and their beliefs, continue to perpetuate the habit of introducing one's own fingers into the mouth of a person who is experiencing an epileptic fit and, sometimes, they use objects such as rulers and pens, resulting in important injuries to the epileptic person's oral cavity, sometimes causing the loss of teeth.^{10 - 12} The impossibility of predicting the occurrence of the crises and the lack of knowledge regarding the pathology contribute to causing discomfort and fear when helping.¹⁰

One study¹² reveals that in approximately 40% of cases of epilepsy, appropriate treatment is not undertaken, resulting in routine care in the primary care services and in Emergency Rooms. In order to change the scenario of prejudice, beliefs and stigmas, this study's results point to the need for educational proposals aimed at the school community (students and teachers), the community in general, and also the professionals from the area of health.

The CPA is considered a medical emergency of great seriousness, characterized by the absence of heartbeat and respiratory movements due to the abrupt cessation of the circulation and respiration. It causes unconsciousness, irreversible brain damage and death in those cases in which measures for re-establishing these functions are not applied at an early stage and efficaciously.^{13 - 14} The cardiovascular diseases, with emphasis on the ischemic diseases, are responsible for approximately 30% of deaths in Brazil, occurring mainly in the pre-hospital setting. The "chain of survival" is a care strategy constituted by links which include the recognition of the situation of absence of heartbeat and the immediate request for help, as well as techniques of basic and advanced life support.^{13 - 14}

In this study, the FG indicated the relevance of sensitizing the schoolchildren regarding how to identify a CPA, so as to initiate the first link in the chain, which is important as it is responsible for triggering the others and, if undertaken correctly, can afford the individual a chance of survival. The accounts illustrate this fact: [...] identifying a CPA, at a very early point, is more important than knowing what you have to do. Following that, you request help (R11); I think that there could be an addendum [...] how to check if the person is breathing (R4).

The response time, which consists of the time between the call for the emergency service and the arrival of the professionals in the place of occurrence, needs to be triggered as fast as possible, and neither of these occur unless the first link in the chain is begun. Thus, the education of the population, including children, is emphasized in the sense of contributing to the recognition of serious signs of threat to life, and to intervene correctly and efficaciously until the arrival of help.¹⁴

"He is snoring, is he sleeping?" - Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia

For people with either diabetes mellitus (DM) type I or type II, situations of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, whether acute or chronic, are harmful in the short and long-term and, although caused by different mechanisms, the maintenance of appropriate glycemic levels is a daily challenge. The account below emphasizes the importance of this topic.

In the item on hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia... of course, hypoglycemia has to be well defined and publicized, mainly for the children who live with somebody who is diabetic. As a result, they need to be able to identify the symptoms, which are not difficult to learn about and recognize. Hyperglycemia is more complicated to identify, and the person herself is able to request help. The most common, however, is hypoglycemia (R4).

In hypoglycemia, the symptoms presented vary from palpitations, tachycardia, tremors, sudoresis, anxiety, paresthesias, headache, somnolence, dizziness, asthenia, confusion, irritability and behavioral changes, through to more serious situations such as focal neurological deficits, convulsions and coma.^{15 - 17} Hypoglycemia can occur in fasting, due to the use of medications, situations of infection, and insulinoma; however, it can also occur after meals (post-prandial), due to rapid gastric emptying and the ingestion of alcoholic drinks, among others.^{15 , 17} It is common for the SAMU to attend individuals with hypoglycemia, as shown by the following account: [...] It happened to me, recently, like this: we arrived there and [...]they had already given first aid, and perceived that it was a case of hypoglycemia, as a result of which they had requested our support. We arrived there and the neighbor said straightaway: it's the diabetic, who is having an attack [...] they had given him more insulin and when we arrived, the guy was sweating profusely, snoring... they had complicated the guy's situation even more (R11).

This mistake can generate serious complications. Under-informed people can harm a person whose health has already been weakened by DM, as exemplified in the following account: it has already happened with me, and must've happened with you as well... the guy was already unconscious because of the hypoglycemia, and his neighbor was there with him, his mother-in-law, putting something down his throat... and soon after he aspirated, and, what is more, worsened the situation. [...] and what had been a case of hypoglycemia ended up becoming an obstruction of the airways (R11).

One study¹⁸ reveals that, in conjunction with the use of medications, the majority of diabetics do not follow the correct guidance regarding the practicing of regular physical exercise in order to help in correcting the plasma glucose values. This fact is verified by the recurrent hypoglycemic crises during or following activities, precisely because of the organic mismatch of a poorly-organized activity. In the child population, this directly affects socialization among the children, both within and outside the school environment. The morning break/playtime is, for many, a time to relax and play with friends, besides the physical education classes themselves. Episodes of hypoglycemia, as well as other health problems, can occur inside the school and, for this reason, staff, teachers and students need to know what to do when faced with urgent and emergency situations.

Hyperglycemia is also characterized as a situation of serious metabolic disorder, although it is less frequent in young people. Diabetic ketoacidosis affects between 20 and 30% of children and adolescents, and 17% of adults. The hyper glycemic hyperosmolar state, on the other hand, occurs with greater frequency in adults aged over 50 years old.¹⁷

"He has choked, what do I do now?" - foreign body airway obstruction

Foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO) presents, among other causes, a mechanical origin, caused by foreign objects aspirated accidentally during the occurrence of face trauma (teeth and dental prostheses), eating (bones and chewing gum), and also during moments of distraction, such as when a child places small objects/toys in the mouth, or, in adulthood, paperclips, etc.

Accidents caused by aspirating foreign bodies are characterized by potentially fatal episodes, whose seriousness, represented by the presence of cyanosis, is directly related to the extent of the obstruction of the airways.¹⁹ Individuals with asphyxia caused by partial or total obstruction of the trachea and larynx mainly progress to death in few minutes.²⁰

The participants in the FG showed the importance of this topic making up the educational instrument: the following account shows the rele-vance of disseminating the first steps to be taken when faced with a situation of choking. FBAO is important [...]. It is a situation which consolidates very fast. We have little time to act. They have to know it and recognize it and they have to know what to do until help arrives (R4).

In childhood, accidents involving aspirating foreign bodies mainly occur when children handle small toys and certain foods, mainly grains and seeds. One study¹⁹ notes that this occurrence is most common in children aged below three years old, in whose case diagnosis becomes more difficult when the parents or guardians did not witness the scene. Another study²¹ indicates that, in pediatric emergencies, aspiration of foreign bodies is responsible for a large number of attendances, due to the serious respiratory discomfort which generally accompanies the situation. That study reinforces the importance of early diagnosis and intervention, due to the complications and respiratory sequelae, such as, for example, recurrent pulmonary infections.

"What has happened here?" - domestic accidents, poisonings, accidents with venomous animals and burns

In Brazil, as elsewhere in the world, injuries resulting from external intentional causes (incidents of violence, acts of aggression, homicides, suicide and negligence) or accidents (road traffic accidents, drownings, falls, burns) are responsible for a significant number of deaths and constitute a public health problem.²²

An accident is defined as an occurrence which occurred by chance, whether fatal or not, but which could have been avoided.²³ It can occur either in the domestic environment or in social environments and, when serious, requires specialized attendance, with important physical or psychological sequelae remaining in the majority of cases.

In relation to the child population, although the road traffic accidents - principally involving bicycles - are important, emphasis again falls upon the domestic accidents, due to the broad range of possibilities, throughout the long periods in which they remain in their homes, and to the highest potential for severity, when compared with road traffic accidents.

In Brazil, each year, approximately 140,000 children aged 12 to 14 years old are hospitalized, with approximately 6000 dying, due to trauma, drownings, burns and poisoning, even when they are treated in emergency units.²⁴ Due to the specific characteristics of cognitive development (immaturity for foreseeing situations of danger) and motor development (lack of coordination), among others, accidents involving children have been studied with the aim of identifying the predisposing and predominant factors, as well as the respective intervention strategies.²⁴ The accounts below reveal the FG's concern with addressing these topics: [accidents] with children are going to involve bicycles, swings, slides, domestic accidents (R9); falls are also important (R7).

The domestic accidents are those which predominate when one analyzes the involvement of children and adolescents: the majority are caused by penetrating or aspirated objects (coins, grains, seeds, among others) and animals (mainly dogs). The deaths which occur in the home, on the other hand, for the same population, are due to falls, drownings, poisonings and asphyxia, among others.^{6 , 23}

Poisonings account for a large volume of attendances undertaken in emergencies for adults and children. They constitute a set of signs and symptoms caused by the interaction between the chemical agent and the biological system.²⁴ The chemical substances may be in plants, venomous animals, pesticides, medications and industrial or domestic products.

Within the group of cases of poisoning, children, along with the female population, are the people most affected by this event. This greater exposure is due to the ease of access and time spent in the home (in the case of children) or due to involvement in cleaning activities with household cleaning products (in the case of women).²⁵ One study indicates medications as the main agent causing poisonings in childhood, followed by household cleaning products, which mainly occur by mouth.²⁴ The following account illustrates an alert to the problem.

In one job we did, my wife found a really good picture about this. On one side, you see the chemical products: washing powder, tablets, and bottles of chemical products. In the same image, they transformed those bottles into animals: a little elephant, a giraffe [...] It was brilliant! How the adult sees it and what the child sees. How that image called our attention [...] in this case of poisoning (R4).

Accidents with venomous animals are also characterized as domestic accidents and can also result in poisoning, depending on the aggressive agent involved, such as spiders and scorpions, among others. Children constitute the proportion of the population which is most involved in these occurrences, due to characteristics inherent to their development, such as constantly being in activity, and their curiosity. The FG participants mentioned to [include in the educational instrument] accidents with venomous animals, because children mess with animals... spiders... ( R6); and [provide guidance regarding] taking care when in places with stones, or a dog which you don't know. Basic things like this (R9).

Mortality rates due to wounds in childhood increase as the child grows. Burns represent a significant proportion of these rates. These mostly occur through the spilling of hot liquids (water and coffee), contact with hot surfaces (the oven, saucepans) and electricity (shocks). These are most frequent among boys, aged up to four years old, in the home environment, mainly in the kitchen.^{26 - 28} Generally speaking, the victims of burns result in a significant number of episodes of inpatient treatment, with rates of 18.1%, while those from falls reach close to 8%, and those from road traffic accidents, a little over 16%.²⁷

Children of school age are also exposed to risks for accidents due to burns. One study²⁸ concluded that burns victims with the largest body surface area compromised were in the age range between 5 and 13 years old, mainly caused by the combustion of alcohol^*. This finding is explained by the fact that, in this age range, children experience independence and autonomy, and gradually come into contact with flammable substances, fireworks, and electrical equipment, both inside and outside the house. The following account demonstrates this: I attended a child who had been frying potato, alone, far from her father... Using the stove... an adolescent of 12 years old. So she got burned, third-degree burns, just to say. Everything you shouldn't do, she did: she rubbed on cream, she covered it with stuff. By the time we got there... God, it was looking bad (R6).

Studies emphasize the importance of undertaking educational activities relating to the seriousness and the risks of accidents from burns, directly with the children, within the school environment, ensuring that they receive objective information, with language and content appropriate to their ages and ability to understand, as they are able to grasp and process guidance and to make deductions.^{26 - 27} This concern was shared by the FG participants:

I think that when giving advice on burns, it is appropriate to talk about, and show, what the complications are in the medium and long terms. If it was a burn covering a large area, the person dies from "n" complications. Show the scars, the restrictions on movement... All that stuff which we already know (R11).

The FG participants also expressed the idea of passing on to the children the correct knowledge regarding what to do after the accident occurs, as some practices can result in serious complications for the wounds, which can range from delaying the process of healing through to contaminating the wound, as in the case, for example, of applying chalk dust, coffee, margarine, or egg white.

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS

Appropriate attendance, in the first minutes which followed the harm to health, can be res- ponsible for increasing survival and minimizing sequelae in the individuals in urgent or emergency situations. For this, it is necessary that such actions should be broadly publicized, so that setbacks in the issue should not occur, that is, so that they may not cause harm to the people who have already been weakened.

This study resulted in the investigation of the main forms of harm to health which strike adults and also children, these being: fainting, fits (epilepsy), cardiopulmonary arrest, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, obstruction of the airways by a foreign body, domestic accidents, poisonings, accidents with venomous animals, and burns. These forms of harm to health, if not attended early and efficaciously, present a risk to life due to their impact on the individuals' safety and maintenance of life.

To this end, the importance is emphasized of putting into effect educational strategies undertaken with the community in general and, mainly, with children, so as to try to change the negative statistical context indicated by the studies. This study considered the involvement of children and adolescents in urgent and emergency health problems, not only as victims, but also as people, capable of taking on another role in these events: that of the provider of first aid to those who are around them, such as friends, family members and even strangers, so long as they are instrumentalized by a knowledge based in correct notions and practices, regarding what must be established soon after the occurrence of an event which places at risk their life or that of other people; this in addition to raising their awareness regarding the notion of anticipating situations of risk, through adopting simple yet efficient measures.

The school environment stands out as a privileged locus for health education, as it receives individuals who are growing, and because it constitutes a scenario where many forms of harm to health occur, no less serious because they affect children and adolescents. The main topics in emergency care, for addressing with the school-age population, investigated in this study, corroborate studies which demonstrate the importance of involving this population in first aid. The set of these, and of other forms of harm to health, listed by the FG, was included in the text of the educational instrument, available online at http://www.jolimack.com/larissa/cartilha_tio_samu.pdf, and on the site of the Professional Master's Degree in Care Management in Nursing, of the UFSC.
