Abstract
Introduction
Chemical submission is a phenomenon that has become increasingly important in recent years and doctors who care for a victim should have enough knowledge about it. Our objective is to determine the degree of knowledge of doctors who, in their professional condition, could assist to a chemical submission victim.
Material and methods
We have carried out a survey among health workers who can assist to a chemical submission victim in order to determine their level of knowledge in this matter.
Results
The results show that doctors think they don't have enough knowledge about chemical submission.
Conclusions
Specific training programs in chemical submission should be implemented.
