The aim of this study was to assess the level of agreement between an institutional protocol and the Manchester protocol for the risk assessment of patients attended in an emergency room of a public hospital in Belo Horizonte -MG -Brazil. This is a descriptive and comparative study, in which 382 patients' reports were evaluated and the risk was classified, using the institutional protocol and the Manchester protocol. Rates were calculated through weighted and unweighted kappa, in order to determine the level of agreement between the protocols.The results showed that the correlation between the protocols is average when considering that classification errors occurred between neighboring colors (kappa=0.48), and good when considering that classification errors occurred between extreme colors (kappa=0.61).The Manchester protocol increased the patients' level of priority of patients and has been considered more inclusive. Clasificación de riesgo en primeros auxilios: concordancia entre un protocolo institucional brasileño y el de ManchesterEste estudio tuvo por objetivo verificar el grado de concordancia entre un protocolo institucional y el protocolo de Manchester para la clasificación de riesgo de pacientes atendidos en primeros auxilios de un hospital público de Belo Horizonte -MG -Brasil.Se trata de estudio descriptivo comparativo en el cual 382 fichas fueron evaluadas y, realizada la clasificación de riesgo utilizando los protocolos mencionados encima, a partir del registro realizado por los enfermeros. Índices kappa ponderado y no ponderado fueron calculados para determinar el grado de concordancia entre los protocolos.Los resultados mostraron que la concordancia entre los protocolos es media, cuando considerados los errores de clasificación ocurridos entre colores vecinos (kappa=0,48) y buena, cuando considerados los errores de clasificación ocurridos entre colores extremos (kappa=0,61). Se concluye que el protocolo de Manchester aumentó el nivel de prioridad de los pacientes, demostrando ser un protocolo que incluye más.

“…Actually, there is a mismatch between what users and health professionals think, regarding the purpose of the emergency department work. (11) The difficulty of the healthcare team of patient acceptance, which is seen as a product of the failure of the network and inadequate for emergency care, may be faced by humanization policies, strategies of awareness and acceptance of emergency as the possible and legitimate gateway into the current healthcare system. Furthermore, it is important to discuss how to integrate within the network this type of patient to the other possible gateways and prepare to serve them, since the demands are generated by cultural factors and the deficiency of technological and social resources.…”

Diagnósticos de enfermería en víctimas fatales provenientes de trauma en el escenario de la atención de emergenciaEl objetivo de este estudio fue identificar y analizar diagnósticos de enfermería que constituyen factores de riesgo para muerte en víctimas de trauma en las primeras 6 horas después del evento. Se trata de un estudio transversal, descriptivo y exploratorio con análisis cuantitativo. Se evaluó 406 pacientes durante seis meses de recolección en un hospital terciario del Municipio de São Paulo, según instrumento creado para esa finalidad. Del total, 44 (10,7%) evolucionaron para muerte. El análisis multivariado apuntó los diagnósticos de enfermería: patrón respiratorio ineficaz, ventilación espontánea perjudicada, riesgo de sangramiento y riesgo de perfusión tisular gastrointestinal ineficaz, como factores de riesgo para muerte; la desobstrucción ineficaz de vías aéreas, confort perjudicado y dolor agudo como factores de protección, datos que pueden orientar a los equipos de salud para realizar acciones intervencionistas diferenciadas frente a la complejidad del trauma.
