[Hypothermia - e-learning course dedicated to lifeguards, border guards and policemen].

OBJECTIVE
Introduction: The paper covers the problem of pre-hospital hypothermia recognition and management among lifeguards, board guards and policemen, who took part in e-learning course Academy of Hypothermia.


PATIENTS AND METHODS
Materials and methods: The subject of analysis were the results of pre-test, post-test and lesson revision tests of Academy of Hypothermia e-learning course, taken by lifeguards (WOPR), board guards (SG) and policemen (POL).


RESULTS
Results: 221 participants were enrolled in a study. Lifeguards were significantly younger than other groups (mean age respectively: 34,13 years SG; 32,95 years POL and 23,31 years WOPR; p< 0,001) and median work experience (respectively: 10 years SG, 8 years POL and 2 years WOPR; p< 0,001). Pre-test analysis showed significant difference in results of board guards and lifeguards (median and q1-q3 values respectively: 61%; 43%-92% for SG and 53%; 46%-69% for WOPR, p = 0,02). Post-test analysis proved significantly better results of board guards (median and q1-q3 values: 92%; 77%-100%) in comparison to policemen (median and q1-q3 values: 85%; 69%-92%) and lifeguards (median and q1-q3 values: 85%; 69%-92%). Extra analysis was performed for lesson revision tests. The least correct answers were noted in lessons covering the topic of post trauma hypothermia and the algorithm of hypothermia casualty management.


CONCLUSION
Conclusions: Lifeguards have least knowledge on accidental hypothermia than board guards and policemen. E-learning course is an effective tool for improving knowledge of hypothermia recognition and treatment.
