Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The implementation of two guidelines of the National Policy for Reducing Morbidity and Mortality from Accidents and Violence (PNRMAV) regarding pre-hospital care (APH) and hospital care (AH) was analyzed. APH and AH managers from Brazilian municipalities participated in a cross-sectional study (2020-2022), answering a questionnaire via the Redcap platform. Descriptive and comparative analyses were performed. The response rate was 2.3% of the municipalities (n=128), of which 9 were capitals. Capitals presented better results in all items evaluated. In mobile APH, 82.8% of the municipalities and 100% of the capitals use their own transportation for patients. In the capitals, the services receive and refer more cases intersectoral (p-value<0.05). In AH, the capitals make greater use of protocols (p=0.008) and 40% of managers consider the beds adequate for their needs. The implementation of the Systematization of pre-hospital care guideline was good for 59.4% of the municipalities and 77.8% of the capitals, while the Interdisciplinary Assistance to Victims guideline was regular in 45.1% of the municipalities and good in 75% of the capitals. Despite the advances in the implementation of the PNRMAV, it is necessary to strengthen the emergency care networks and optimize the available resources.
