HEALTH EDUCATION INTERVENTIONS: THE IMPORTANCE OF THE NURSE IN THE TRAINING OF EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS IN THE FACE OF AN AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION (OVACE)

Abstract

Foreign body airway obstruction (OVACE) is a lethal and rapid condition that mainly affects children, and may cause numerous deaths annually in Brazil. When we analyze this context, we start to ask ourselves: "Why even after the Lucas Law of 2018, there are still children suffering serious sequelae and even evolving to death in their schools and daycare centers today?" With this, our objective through this study was to characterize the importance of training early childhood education teachers and the importance of nurses in the preparation of these education professionals. Due to the incidence of OVACE on infant morbidity and mortality, the need for immediate intervention was found where more actions aimed at this issue occur.  Since throughout our research, in which we used an integrative review methodology and 20 articles with themes pertinent to this problem, in a majority of the articles affirmed the severity and possible consequences of this emergency. With this, we can affirm that the training carried out by nurses is essential to increase the efficiency of solutions in cases of OVACE. Thus, it is notorious that the necessary training for educators, together with the early prevention of nurses, collaborates significantly to reduce mortality rates and ensure safety.
