Abstract

Hitna medicinska stanja (HMS) akutna su zbivanja koja neposredno ugrožavaju život i
zdravlje pacijenta.HMS se mogu dogoditi u ordinaciji dentalne medicine i zato je bitno da
stomatolog prepozna i adekvatno zbrine iste. Svrha rada bila je ispitati učestalost
pojavljivanja HMS u stomatološkoj praksi u Republici Hrvatskoj i procijeniti koliko se
stomatolozi osjećaju educiranima i spremnima za zbrinjavanje HMS te koliko su ordinacije
opremljene lijekovima i opremom za njihovo zbrinjavanje. Ovo je prvo istraživanje o
prevalenciji pojedinih HMS u stomatološkoj praksi u Hrvatskoj. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo
319 aktivnih stomatologa ispunjavanjem online upitnika.Većina ispitanika bili su polivalentni
stomatolozi. Najčešći HMS bio je vazovagalna reakcija, a najrjeđe srčani arest.
Najzastupljeniji lijek dostupan u ordinaciji bio je adrenalin, a lijekovi za zbrinjavanje drugih
HMS-a bili su slabo zastupljeni. Ispitanici s više staža i oni koji su imali specijalizacije,
osobito oralni kirurzi, susreli su se s više HMS. Ispitanici koji su zaposleni u ambulantama
sekundarne i tercijarne zdravstvene zaštite spremniji su za zabrinjavanje HMS i više educirani
u odnosu na zaposlenike u ambulantama primarne zdravstvene zaštite. Isto tako, ispitanici
koji su imali specijalizaciju i radili u ambulantama sekundarne i tercijarne zdravstvene zaštite
imali su više lijekova i opreme za zbrinjavanje HMS-a.

Abstract (english)

Medical emergencies (MEs) are acute events which put human life and health at direct risk.
MEs can happen in a dental medicine practice, and it is therefore important for the dentist to
recognise and handle them in an appropriate way. The aim of the paper was to investigate the
frequency of MEs in the dental practices in Croatia and to assess the degree of education that
the dentists believe they have and the level of preparedness to treat a ME and the level of
medicinal products and equipment for the treatment of MEs the practices have. This is the
first study on the prevalence of certain MEs in the dental practice in Croatia. 319 active
dentists participated in the study via an online questionnaire. Majority of participants were
general dentists. The most frequent ME was vasovagal syncope, and the least frequent was
cardiac arrest. The most common medicinal product available in the office was adrenaline,
and medicinal products for treating other MEs were less present. Participants with more
working experience and the ones with specialties, particularly oral surgeons, witnessed more
MEs. The participants employed in the secondary and tertiary healthcare outpatient clinics
were more prepared to treat ME and more educated when compared to the employees in the
primary healthcare outpatient clinics. Also, the subjects who had specialisation and worked in
the secondary and tertiary healthcare outpatient clinics had more medicinal products and
equipment for treating ME.
