General Practitioner’s Level of Survey on Trauma Cases in Dustira Level II Hospital

Abstract

The high incidence of trauma caused by traffic accidents and other causes resulting in the high mortality of trauma. A general practitioner (GP)'s primary survey knowledge and management could minimalized the risk of the death. RS Tingkat II Dustira has an emergency department so the GPs ought to have knowledge in primary survey. This study used observational descriptive method using primary data collected from the questionnaire filled by 39 GPs in RS Tingkat II Dustira. The data was analyzed univariately. The respondents' length of work mostly were 1-10 years (26 respondents). 40% of the GPs who went through ATLS training before had a good knowledge and 72% of the GPs who didn't go through ATLS had a good knowledge. The GP's who had a good knowledge about primary survey's first component, airway, were 27% GPs, in the breathing component were 13%, the circulation component was 49%, disability component were 92%, and 87% respondents in exposure component. This is an interesting study as an addition to RS Tingkat II Dustira to refresh the knowledge for the GPs. The levels of knowledge in primary survey are better descriptively in the GPs which underwent the Non-ATLS training but with good experience because it was influenced by the length of work in the emergency department.
