- Abstract
Objective: To describe the types of pre-hospital care for young people, carried out by a Fire Department, and to compare them according to the characteristics of the victims and the incidents. Method: Cross-sectional, retrospective, descriptive and analytical study, with a quantitative approach, composed of 198 incidents attended, in 2015, in the Federal District. Data retrieved from the service's file records. For the proposed comparison, the chi-square test and the likelihood ratio were applied, adopting p <0.05. Results: Most of those attended were male (54.0%) and over 18 years old (86.4%).The rescue with response time less than 10 minutes (83.8%) and severity classified as stable (98.0%) predominated. The comparison result was significant for the trauma category in terms of age, sex, place of incident and regional destination, all with p≤0,0001. Conclusion: The young population studied, with an emphasis on the male sex, is vulnerable to traumatic events, specifically on public roads. The exposed data point to the need for health education and intersectoral actions that promote the prevention of these incidents in the young population.
