The article is an invitation to an episode of the program "Consulta Aberta" that addresses the theme of medical emergencies in Portugal. The central theme raises the hypothesis of one day no one answering when someone calls emergency number 112.
Nurse Filipe Couto is the guest who will discuss these issues on the program. His intervention aims to clarify the population on how to act in emergency situations.
The article highlights that one of the main problems identified is the lack of knowledge among the population in cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers. This gap is presented as a critical failure, because even if INEM (Instituto Nacional de Emergência Médica) is contacted, emergency services may not be able to arrive at the location in time.
The program also aims to analyze the current state of rescue teams, addressing the challenges and conditions faced by professionals who provide assistance in medical emergencies in Portugal.
