We evaluated the knowledge of access to the definitive airway and peripheral vascular of the Technologists in Prehospital Care in training, through a knowledge questionnaire. The sample was applied to the 84 students enrolled and active in the Prehospital Care Technology program of the Corporación Universitaria Rafael Nuñez in the second period of 2018 from the second to the sixth semester. When evaluating the students it was found that they have little empowerment of the basic knowledge to perform invasive procedures in the peripheral vascular pathway, highlighting the lack of protocols, management and function of crystalloid solutions, venoclisis equipment and catheters according to their enumeration which are used. There was also a lack of knowledge in protocols for airway management, adequate management of endotracheal intubation equipment, indications and contraindications for definitive endotracheal intubation and the benefits it generates in patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
