Abstract

Objective: to analyze the organization of multidisciplinary work aimed at providing care for polytrauma victims. Method: qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study carried out in the emergency department of a referral hospital for polytrauma care located in the southern region of Brazil, with 30 professionals including nurses, nursing technicians and doctors through structured interviews and non-participant observation, held in May 2023. An interpretative analysis was carried out and data were grouped and organized into a mind map. Results: three axes emerged: Structure - inadequate physical structure, ineffective regulation and workforce; Process – training and communication; and Outcome: lack of evaluation and leadership in care. Final considerations: it was possible to highlight factors such as difficulties in the physical structure, shortage of professionals, communication problems and lack of continuing education. Furthermore, the study revealed individual initiatives to overcome limitations and mutual collaboration to face critical moments. The organization of the multidisciplinary team stands out as a key aspect in the care of polytrauma patients.
