Resumo

 

 O objetivo deste artigo foi identificar as publicações dos últimos 5 anos sobre os tipos e as causas de erros de medicação em serviços hospitalares de emergência. Trata-se de revisão integrativa de literatura. Foram identificados 6.440 artigos, e 15 deles foram selecionados para compor a revisão. Houve predomínio de estudos no ano de 2020, nos Estados Unidos, e com delineamento metodológico transversal. A maior parte das publicações foi realizada em serviços que atendiam a população adulta. Erros de uso de medicamentos acontecem por causas singulares e variantes em serviços hospitalares de emergência. O conhecimento desses fatores é relevante para evitar a ocorrência de erros. A educação continuada exerce papel fundamental na busca por melhorias na qualidade assistencial. O uso de tecnologias e os meios digitais são associados à redução de erros. As instituições devem promover a cultura de segurança do paciente para resultados mais eficazes.
