• Abstract:

  Introduction: Pre-Hospital Care (APH) is systematized to assist victims of automobile accidents, with three modalities in its structure: Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (SAV) and Motor Control (MT). In the present study, the following variables were analyzed: type of ambulance available to the patient (USB, USA and MT), age, sex and nature of the incident (clinical, traumatic, gynecological-obstetric or psychiatric). Objective: To analyze the services provided by SAMU 192: mobile component of the Emergency Care Network in the Municipality of Pelotas/S. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative approach, developed from data collected through the General Regulation Coordination of SAMU 192 Pelotas/RS, focused on the analysis of service records between January 2018 and January 2019. Results: There was a predominance of clinical occurrences, with seizures being the main complaint, followed by car accidents, with motorcycle/car collision being the predominant one. There was a predominance of care for clinical occurrences, diverging from the expectation that the largest number of consultations would be of a traumatic nature. Conclusion: The study showed the importance of SAMU 192 in the Urgency and Emergency Care Network, highlighting the high number of visits, the associations of various complaints with age, sex and region of the municipality related to the service.
