Оrganizational aspects of primary health care for personal skeleton damage caused by road traffic accidents

The purpose of the study. Study the organizational aspects of providing primary health care for victims with the facial department of the skeleton as a result of traffic accidents. 
Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, a retrospective study was conducted. The work included victims of road accidents with damage to the facial part of the skull between the ages of 18 and 70 years. In total, 150 victims were included in the study between 2000 and 2019. 
Results of the study and their analysis. The study shows that injuries to the facial skeleton as a result of traffic accidents are relevant. As a result of the study, it was found that as a result of an accident, there is approximately the same number of closed and open injuries. At the same time, open injuries, which could be regarded as medium and severe, were identified in 45 (30%) cases. In addition, data analysis showed that in 30,7% of observations, first aid was provided by random witnesses and/ or relatives of victims who did not have the skills and necessary knowledge to provide such assistance. In addition, an additional 19,3 per cent of first aid was provided by staff of various services who have some knowledge and skills in first aid. This is due to the fact that in the first group, first aid was provided faster than in the second group. The lack of the necessary skills to provide first aid to victims with such an injury can be explained by the rather high percentage of errors, which in the first group amounted to 18,7%, while employees of various services showed good results in providing such assistance and errors were not noted. Key words: primary health care, damage to the facial skeleton, traffic accident.
