摘要
Objective: To determine the stress that is potentially produced in professional health workers due to a mass casualty Incident (MCI) simulated exercise, and its relation to prior academic training and the role played in the simulation.
Methods: Observational study of stress in a MCI. For this work, two MCI drills comprised of 40 victims each were conducted. Two randomized groups of 36 students each were created: Master's Students Group (MSG) and Undergraduate Student Group (USG). The role performed by each student (triage or sectorization) was assessed. The stress level was determined by prior and subsequent measurements of alpha-amylase (alpha A), HR, SBP and DBP.
Results: The percentage of victims that were correctly triaged was 88.6%, 91.84% for MSG and 83.76% for the USG (p = 0.004). The basal alpha A was 97,107.50 +/- 72,182.67 IU/L and the subsequent alpha A was 136,195.55 +/- 90,176.46 IU/L (p < 0.001). The baseline HR was 78.74 +/- 14.92 beats/min and the subsequent HR was 95.65 +/- 23.59 beats/min (p = 0.000). We found significant differences in the alpha A between students who performed the triage and those who performed sectorization but there were no differences between undergraduate and Masters' students.
Conclusion: Conducting a simulated exercise caused stress in personnel involved in the MCI, with a greater impact on participants who performed triage, although it was not influenced by their prior academic level. The stress level in our case did not affect or determine the performance of acquired skills.
