Abstract (english)
Background. General dentists (GDs) should be aware of the symptoms, signs, dianoses and treatment of medical emergencies in paediatric patients. Aim. To evaluate the knowledge of GDs in coping with medical emergencies and to identify whether they are confident to diagnose and treat them in paediatric patients. Design. The questionnaire was conducted immediately before the beginning of national dental meetings and continuing education seminars in Croatia, attended by the GDs, in order to get the representative sample. Results. Of a total of 498 GDs who returned the questionnaire with valid data 51.2% reported that a medical history was regularly taken. 81.3% of the GDs never received any basic life support (BLS) training and education for paediatric patients during their undergraduate studies. After graduation this figure rose to 86.1% of GDs. However most (68.7%) had experienced some emergency situation in their practice. The most frequent emergency was vasovagal syncope (83.6%) and the most rare was cardiac arrest (8.2%). 20.5% of GDs experienced some emergency but could not make a diagnosis. The more BLS training the GD had, the more self-confident s/he felt in an emergency situation. Conclusions. Most of the GDs have a lack of knowledge to cope with medical emergencies in paediatric patients, and do not feel confident to diagnose and treat emergency situations in children. It is suggested that adequate training and education should be provided for all GDs to address this shortcoming.
