Abstract

This quantitative, exploratory, descriptive and cross-sectional study was undertaken in the Emergency Department of a hospital specialized in treating multiple trauma. The aim was to analyze the profile of the patients affected by multiple trauma. Data collection took place in February-April 2012, and the sample comprised 41 patients, over 18 years of age, of both sexes, not pregnant, and who came via the pre-hospital care service. The majority of victims were male (82.9%), aged between 18 and 30 (36.5%), motorcyclists (51.2%) and presented mild alterations in vital functions. It was concluded that it is necessary to investigate the profile of the client attended in order to prepare the dynamics of the service, considering the planning of an instrument to be essential for the care, principally concerning the victim of multiple trauma, who requires rapid and specialized care.
