Triagem de pacientes em situação de catástrofe: aplicativos educacionais disponíveis como ferramenta para treinamento e auxílio de socorristas

Abstract

The increase in natural or man-made disasters, such as terrorist attacks and accidents, make essential to train professionals for situations involving multiple victims. The various etiologies and variation of victims makes complex training a challenge in the continuing education of these professionals, but there are concepts common to all situations. The use of protocols is recommended as a way to ensure the best patient assessment with the purpose of saving the largest number of people. Simulation through digital media has been widespread in recent years. One of the possibilities within this context is the use of educational virtual games known as serious games. Especially when used in conjunction with virtual reality, this type of simulation increases the student's sense of immersion and interaction. This paper aims to raise and learn educational applications, especially serious games, about screening patients in situations of multiple victims currently available in major online stores, for training and help of rescuers. Despite the importance of training professionals for this type of care and the development of technologies in education, there are still few applications available, none of which is offered in the Portuguese language. It is hoped with this work, stimulate the creation of new educational applications for the training of these first responders
