Abstract

Objective: to identify in the scientific literature the risk classification and screening protocols for adults and the elderly in emergencies. Methods: this is an integrative review. Primary articles that used risk classification and triage protocols in emergencies, without time limit and published in any language, were included. The guiding question was based on the acronym PICo: Population, Interest and Context. The following databases were used for collection: CINAHL; MEDLINE via the PubMed portal; LILACS via VHL and Web of Science. Data selection was performed by reading the titles, abstracts and full text. Results: 11 articles were selected in which emergency severity, hospital triage, neurological and trauma protocols were identified. Conclusion: the risk classification and screening protocols found in the scientific literature were heterogeneous, they were effective and feasible to be used according to the needs of the country for which it is intended.
