Abstract.
The article is devoted to the analysis of the reasons for calling in emergency medical care (EMC) teams to Vitebsk pharmacies during the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. The results of the work are based on archival data obtained at the medical institution «Vitebsk First Aid Station». The study revealed that during 3 years first aid station received 242 calls from 151 Vitebsk pharmacies of the first, second and fifth categories; 37 (15.29%) calls were classified as emergent and 205 (84.71%) as urgent. The causes of the calls were diseases and conditions assigned to 13 classes in accordance with the International Statistical Classification of Diseases of the tenth revision (ICD-10). The majority of these calls were due to diseases of the circulatory system, mental disorders and behavioral disorders, fainting and injuries of different severity. Medical aid on the spot was provided to 97 (40.08%) pharmacy visitors; 116 (47.93%) of them were transported to hospitals; 29 (11.98%) calls were in vain. Conclusions have been made about the necessity to develop algorithms of actions for the pharmaceutical workers to provide emergency medical care to pharmacy visitors and to take measures aimed at prevention of ineffective calls of EMC teams to pharmacies.
Key words: ambulance (emergency) medical care, pharmacy, causes of calls, ambulance team.
