El triaje busca identificar a aquellos pacientes que necesitan atención inmediata y a los que pueden esperar con seguridad durante un tiempo más prolongado. Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y prospectivo, con pacientes que acuden al servicio de emergencias del Hospital Infantil Dr. Robert Reid Cabral en los meses de septiembre, octubre y noviembre de 2018, para un total de 32 %, 21 %, y 47 %, respectivamente. El total de pacientes captados fue 660, 54 % masculinos y 46 % femeninos. Edad de mayor asistencia de 1-6 años, 311 para un 47 %. El 4to nivel fue el de mayor atención, 219 para un 33 %. Mayor flujo horario de 11:00 a.m. a 4:00 p.m., para un 5.8 % y 6.1 %. Tiempo de respuesta nivel 1: 50 seg; nivel 2: 22 min con 5 seg; nivel 3: 41 min con 12 seg; nivel 4: 49 min con 35 seg; y nivel 5: 48 min con 53 seg. Como conclusión, la respuesta a las atenciones se ve afectada por la falta de triaje estructurado, una respuesta más rápida y oportuna a pacientes con niveles 3 a 4, gracias al alto volumen de pacientes que acuden y no así a los de nivel 1 y 2.
The triage seeks to identify those who need immediate attention and those who can wait safely for a longer time. An observational, descriptive and prospective study was conducted, with patients attending the emergency service of the Dr. Robert Reid Cabral Children's Hospital in the months of September, October and November 2018, for a total of 32%, 21%, and 47 % respectively. The total number of patients recruited was 660, 54 % male and 46% female. Age of greatest attendance of 1-6 years old, 311 for 47%. The 4th level was the one with the highest attention, 219 for 33%. Highest hourly flow from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a 5.8% and 6.1%. Response time level 1: 50 sec; level 2: 22 min with 5 sec; level 3: 41 min with 12 sec; level 4: 49 min with 35 sec; and level 5: 48 min with 53 sec. Conclusion: the response to care is affected by the lack of structured triage, a faster and more timely response to patients with levels 3 to 4, thanks to the high volume of patients who attend and not to those of level 1 and 2.
