Abstract
Objetivo: Analisar a distribuição sazonal e espacial dos traumas, aliados à avaliação das características das vítimas envolvidas e os tipos de chamadas relacionadas ao trauma. Materiais e Métodos: As informações foram colhidas a partir do banco de dados do corpo de bombeiros de Itajubá (9ºBBM) referentes ao período de 1 de janeiro de 2003 à 31 de dezembro de 2010 (n=51536). Resultados: O número de traumas corresponde a 11% (n=5092) do total de atendimentos realizados no período estudado, sendo os acidentes de trânsito os principais responsáveis pelas ocorrências (55%). O sexo masculino na faixa etária de 30-50 anos é o perfil mais característico das vítimas, e o final da tarde o período com maior concentração de traumas. Em relação a distribuição semanal, o final de semana possui a grande maioria das ocorrências e o mês de junho é ligeiramente o mais acometido. Conclusão: Esse conhecimento detalhado das vítimas pode repercutir na melhora e no direcionamento do Atendimento Pré-Hospitalar (APH), tanto na fase pré, quanto intra-hospitalar, além de subsidiar decisões estratégicas na gestão do trânsito e da saúde pública.
