ABSTRACT
This is a research project of the Academic Masters in the Sciences of Health Care, from Fluminense Federal University. Aim: To observe the process of medication performed by the nursing team in the Neonatal Unit of Pedro Ernesto College Hospital. Aims: To characterize the process of preparation and administration of medication on the part of the nursing team, before and after changes implemented by the management of the unit; to analyze the situations, behavior and consequences, both positive and negative, identified in the process, based on the reports of the professionals involved; to discuss the impact and implications of the changes implemented. Method: This is a descriptive, qualitative research, using a Critical Incident Technique (CIT) approach. After the data collection, involving recorded, semi-structured interviews with nursing professionals, the interviews will be fully transcribed and then textually analyzed using ALCESTE software. The results can assist the creation of a work procedure in terms of the medication system, improving the assistance provided by nursing staff in any institution.

Trata-se de um estudo exploratório-descritivo que utilizou a Técnica do Incidente Crítico para obtenção e análise dos dados. Foram entrevistados 103 profissionais de enfermagem de duas UTIs gerais de um hospital do Estado de São Paulo, os quais forneceram relatos de situações de PCR . Do total de 126 situações obtiveram-se: falha na realização de procedimento técnico (58,6%); problemas relacionados a recursos materiais e equipamentos (31,2%) e falta de coordenação das atividades (8,6%). Quanto as conseqüências encontrou-se o óbito (70%) e a sobrevida imediata (30%) dos pacientes. Os resultados apontam a necessidade de investimentos na capacitação dos profissionais da UTI, bem como a importância do provimento adequado de materiais e equipamentos, com vistas a minimizar as ocorrências iatrogênicas no decorrer do atendimento.
