First aid and prehospital care practices are fundamental in helping victims, often saving lives. This study aims to present the results of a bibliometric analysis regarding first aid, as well as a case report on teaching in first aid to a group of undergraduate students. The latter presents a project developed at a Brazilian public university for engineering students. The core modules addressed in the project were: first aid concepts, specialized distress calling, site safety, injury mechanism, primary and secondary approaches, bleeding control, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, clinical emergences, seizures, intoxications, fractures, burns, immobilizations, and victim transport. A systematic literature review was conducted, which was based on structured protocols, in four databases: Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Significant data were analyzed, such as years of publication, main journals, and more frequent terms in first aid teaching. The SOS-UTFPR Project aims to provide scholars of engineering and related fields with theoretical-practical knowledge about first aid. As of 2021, it has 3 graduated groups, thus generating relevant data for this research. Its main purpose is to train citizens capable of making assertive decisions in emergency situations, whether at the university, work, home, etc. With this, it was possible to promote the dissemination of the Transfer of Knowledge and Technology (KTT) by training individuals to multiply information, techniques, and acquired knowledge, in order to act preventively and save lives.
Las prácticas de primeros auxilios y atención prehospitalaria son fundamentales para ayudar a las víctimas, a menudo salvando vidas. Este estudio tiene como objetivo presentar los resultados de un análisis bibliométrico en primeros auxilios, así como un informe de caso sobre la enseñanza de primeros auxilios a un grupo de estudiantes de pregrado. Este último presenta un proyecto desarrollado en una universidad pública brasileña para estudiantes de ingeniería. Los módulos centrales abordados en el proyecto fueron: conceptos de primeros auxilios, llamadas especializadas de socorro, seguridad del sitio, mecanismo de lesiones, enfoques primarios y secundarios, control de hemorragias, reanimación cardiopulmonar, emergencias clínicas, convulsiones, intoxicaciones, fracturas, quemaduras, inmovilizaciones y transporte de víctimas. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura, basada en protocolos estructurados, en cuatro bases de datos: Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed y ScienceDirect. Se analizaron datos significativos como años de publicación, revistas principales y palabras más frecuentes en la enseñanza de primeros auxilios. El Proyecto SOS-UTFPR pretende proporcionar conocimientos teórico-prácticos sobre primeros auxilios a académicos de ingeniería y campos relacionados. Hasta 2021, el proyecto ha graduado a tres grupos, generando datos relevantes para esta investigación. Su objetivo principal es formar ciudadanos capaces de tomar decisiones asertivas en situaciones de emergencia, ya sea en la universidad, en el trabajo, el hogar, etc. Con ello se logró impulsar la difusión de la Transferencia de Conocimiento y Tecnología (KTT), capacitando individuos para que multipliquen la información, las técnicas y los conocimientos adquiridos, a fin de actuar de manera preventiva y salvaguardar vidas.
