COSTA, Anna Caroline Leite et al. triage and activation of the code stroke protocol: Difficulties experienced by nurses. RPER [online]. 2020, vol.3, suppl.2, pp.96-101.  Epub 05-Jan-2022. ISSN 2184-965X.  https://doi.org/10.33194/rper.2020.v3.n2.14.5829.

Background:

The triage process contributes to early stroke treatment, reducing mortality and disability.

Objective:

To analyze nurses' difficulties in triage and activating the Code Stroke protocol.

Method:

Descriptive and cross-sectional study. The data were collected, by convenience sampling, in an emergency medical-surgical service through a questionnaire.

Results:

The sample included 21 nurses (39.7±7.4 years), mostly women (71.4%). In terms of professional experience, the working time in emergency department was 9.5 (±6.2 years).

The verbal and physical violence of patients and family members was the most mentioned difficulty regarding triage. About 29% partially and 19% fully agree that inadequate information about two symptoms at the time of onset constitutes a difficulty in activating the Code Stroke.

Conclusion:

Triage and the Stroke Code protocol are considered facilitators of care, with sporadic difficulties in some phases of the process.
