Metropolitan Hospital presents care protocols for victims of serious accidents
Unit reference in severe trauma reinforces preparation and integration for public health emergencies
As a reference unit in assisting people with medium and high complexity, the Metropolitan Emergency and Urgency Hospital (HMUE), located in Ananindeua, presented how the first aid flows work at the preparation and response event for incidents with multiple victims (IMV), promoted by the Ministry of Health, through the National Force of the Unified Health System (SUS), in partnership with the State Department of Public Health of Pará (Sespa).
The program took place on Wednesday (1st), with the presence of health representatives. The coordinator of the emergency care sector of HMUE, Mila Michele, was responsible for presenting the routine of HMUE in the lecture "Hospital Preparation for IMV".
“We presented the preparation of the Metropolitan Hospital for the IMV, which was structured based on the Care Plan for incidents with multiple victims, including internal training with all sectors, tabletop simulation, and practical simulation. The initiative aimed to test the planned actions, challenge the trained team, and allow for the reevaluation of protocols for future simulations or real situations, always with the goal of saving as many lives as possible, and it was a success,” highlighted Mila Michele.
The meeting also included the nursing manager of the unit, Romerito Margotti, and the nursing supervisor, Karine Cristina, who reinforced the importance of alignment among multiprofessional teams.
The action is part of a cycle of activities carried out in Belém, which aims to prepare States and Municipalities to respond in an increasingly efficient and coordinated manner to public health emergencies.
Reinforcement - Right in the first half of 2025, the Metropolitan Hospital also promoted a large simulation of an Incident with Multiple Victims, which tested the health system's response capacity in the face of critical situations, such as disasters or large-scale accidents.
The activity involved the participation of Sespa, the agency responsible for coordinating health policies in Pará, as well as the Ministry of Health, the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu), among other strategic agencies.
The executive director of HMUE, Marcelo Azevedo, highlighted the institution's commitment to strengthening the public health network. "The Metropolitan Hospital acts strategically to ensure quick responses in the treatment of hospitalized patients daily. We are in constant training for emergency situations, and all this effort is carried out in partnership with Sespa, strengthening our role in SUS in Pará and ensuring increasingly effective care for the population," he stated.
Structure
Managed by the National Institute for Social and Human Development (INDSH), in partnership with the State Department of Public Health (Sespa), HMUE has operational beds in the specialties of traumatology, general surgery, neurosurgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, plastic surgery (exclusive for burn victims), and ICU beds.
In 2024 alone, more than 600,000 services – including hospitalizations, surgeries, laboratory and imaging exams, multiprofessional care, and outpatient consultations – were offered to patients from the Metropolitan Region of Belém and other municipalities in Pará.
