- Abstract
Objective: to investigate the profile and the main reasons for attending children up to 12 years old in an Urgency and Emergency service. Method: quantitative approach, carried out on 1,800 risk classification protocol sheets of children attended by an urgent and emergency service. The data were collected using a structured instrument, typed in the Excel® program and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: most of the children attended were male (53,5%) and were between zero and two years old (39,3%). The most prevalent Risk Rating was green (81,1%), followed by yellow (15,8%) and red (3,1%). The most frequent reasons for seeking care were fever (45,1%) and cough (13,9%). Conclusions: it is essential to guide the population and organize primary care services so that the conditions that can be treated in these services do not create an overload on urgent and emergency services.
