Objectives: To relate the level of theoretical knowledge and implementation of adequate clinical practices of nursing staff in the initial approach to critical patients in emergency areas. Method: Qualitative research through bibliographic review of scientific articles published between 2018-2022, using DeCS terms in main electronic databases. Results: 29 articles were reviewed demonstrating that nursing staff with constant training programs improve patient satisfaction levels, reduce waiting times and achieve results comparable to medical care. Knowledge deficits were identified in 46% of evaluated staff. Conclusions: Adequate training of nursing staff constitutes an effective response to improve quality of care in emergency services and solve hospital congestion.
