Abstract

Objective: To describe the implementation of educational activities for the nursing staff aimed at applying the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the emergency cart in a federal hospital. Method: Descriptive experience report conducted in a federal hospital in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, within the context of updating and implementing the emergency crash cart SOP. Nurses and nursing technicians from inpatient wards participated through on-the-job continuing education actions. Strategies included SOP review, photographic mapping of the crash cart, theoretical-practical training with equipment demonstration, emergency simulations, and collective discussions of cases experienced in the care routine. Results: The experience integrated physical organization aspects of the crash cart, focusing on SOP dissemination and standardization of checking routines. Through rapid training sessions, 166 professionals from different shifts were reached. Reports indicated shared responsibility in crash cart maintenance and increased safety perception among professionals in critical situations. Concluding remarks: The implementation of the SOP, combined with in loco continuing education strategies, constitutes a viable tool for standardizing care and applying patient safety goals. Furthermore, the role of the nurse is highlighted as key in the implementation of institutional protocols, management of healthcare resources, and organization of care in urgency and emergency situations.
