ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the level of ophthalmic information and the proper procedures in ophthalmic emergencies among non- ophthalmologists in charge of the emergency departments of General Hospitals. METHODS: A questionnaire containing personal data and other information was sent to the medical personnel in charge of emergencies of several general hospitals in Sorocaba (São Paulo) and region. Questions about the diagnosis and management of ocular emergencies were also sent. RESULTS: 100 non-ophthalmologists with 10.5-year average time of practice (1-44 years), of which 74% were male answered the questions. Several specialties were represented, the largest group (23%) being of general practitioners. The great majority (93%) felt insecure when in the presence of an ophthalmic emergency. CONCLUSIONS: There is a lack of information about the correct diagnosis and management of ocular emergencies among non-ophthalmologists in charge of general hospital emergency services. This study confirms the need of popularization of information among all medical specialties.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar conhecimentos básicos sobre urgências oftalmológicas entre plantonistas (não-oftalmologistas) que realizam atendimento primário a pacientes. MÉTODOS: Aplicou-se questionário padronizado, contendo dados pessoais e questões sobre urgências, entre plantonistas em servicos de emergência de Sorocaba (São Paulo) e região. RESULTADOS: Foram entrevistados 100 plantonistas, com tempo médio de formacão de 10,5 anos (1-44 anos), e desses 74 por cento eram do sexo masculino. Foi considerável a diversidade de especialidades encontradas, predominando a de Clínica Geral (23 por cento). A maioria dos entrevistados, 93 por cento, não se sente seguro ao atender uma urgência.
