چکیده

مقدمه: هدف اصلی از این مطالعه، مقایسه تعداد ماموریت های اورژانسی (موارد قلبی، تنفسی، مسمومیت ها، حوادث ترافیکی، انواع تروما و ....) تعداد تماس ها و زمان های عملیاتی اورژانس پیش بیمارستانی در شهر مشهد قبل و بعد از کرونا می باشد. همچنین سیاست های ما در اپیدمی ها و حوادث آینده بر اساس آن تعیین می شود تا در صورت بروز بحران های مشابه برنامه ریزی بهتری داشته باشیم.
روش کار: این مطالعه از نوع توصیفی و گذشته نگر است. اطلاعات به دو دوره قبل از کرونا از اسفند 1396 تا بهمن 1398 و دوره بعد از کرونا اسفند 1398 تا بهمن 1400 تقسیم شد. برای مقایسه میانگین داده های طبقه بندی شده از آزمون کای دو و برای محاسبه نسبت شانس بیماری در ماموریت های اورژانس در دو گروه از رگرسیون لجستیک استفاده شد.
یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد پس از اپیدمی، 56.4 درصد مرد، 43.6 درصد زن و میانگین سنی 22.5 ± 45.20 درصد شد. تعداد ماموریت های مرتبط با مشکلات تنفسی حدود 40 درصد و تب و بیماریهای عفونی حدود 32 درصد پس از اپیدمی افزایش یافت. شانس ماموریت با بیماران با علائم و مشکلات تنفسی در دوران بعد از کوید 1.43 (OR=1.43 CI=1.41-1.45, p <0.000) برابر نسبت به دوران قبل از کوید شد.
نتیجه‌گیری: در طول همه گیری کووید-19، تعداد ماموریت ها و تماس های اورژانس افزایش یافت. اورژانس پیش بیمارستانی با تغییر برنامه ها و رویکردهای خود با افزایش ظرفیت پاسخگویی و تعداد پرسنل و آموزش های مرتبط، ظرفیت عملیاتی خود را افزایش داد.

چکیده [English]

The main purpose of this study is to compare the number of emergency missions (cardiac, respiratory, poisoning, traffic accidents, types of traumas, etc.), the number of calls and operating times of the prehospital emergency in Mashhad before and after covid-19. Also our policies in epidemics future incidents are determined based on it, and we can have better planning in case of similar crises.
Methods: This study is descriptive and retrospective. Information divided into two periods: before Covid-19 from February 2018 to January 2020 and after Covid-19 from February 2020 to January 2022 . Chi-square test was used to compare the mean of the classified data, and logistic regression was used to calculate the odds-ratio the disease in emergency missions in two groups.
Results: The results showed that after the epidemic, 56.4% of these were men, and 43.6% were women, and the mean age was 45.20 ± 21.5. The missions after the epidemic showed that the mean age of the patients was 30.5 ± 16.3. The number of missions related to respiratory problems increased by 40% and fever and infectious diseases by 32% after the epidemic. The odds ratio of mission with patients with symptoms and respiratory problems before covid-19 (OR=1.43 CI=1.41-1.45, p =0.000) was 1.43 times compared after covid-19.
Conclusion: During the Covid-19 epidemic the number of missions and emergency calls increased. The prehospital emergency department increased its operational capacity by changing its plans and approaches by increasing its response capacity and the number of staff and related training.
