Abstract

This is a descriptive and exploratory research which aimed to propose emergency nursing care guidelinesfrom the demand identification and the characterization of the victim’s profile admitted to the triage sector at an EmergencyUnit. The sample consisted of 203 patient records of treatments performed on March 2008. Through descriptive analysis,the records served as a basis for the guidelines development. Results show that the age of the victims was of 39 years onaverage, trauma mechanisms were falls and traffic accidents. The demand of treatment was for pain assessment, return ofthe first consultation, plaster and infection. Victims distribution and risk classification remained on the green color (noncritical patient, need of monitoring or waiting for inpatient care vacancy), accounting to 65% of the demand for traumatreatment. The development of other studies based on the current institutional policy, which is in process of the federalpolicy compliance is suggested.
