In 2006, the Brazilian Ministry of Health established the Injury Surveillance System Network in Sentinel Services (Rede VIVA) to describe data on injuries victims treated at emergency departments (ED), especially minor injuries which do not cause deaths and hospitalization. This study describes the characteristics of unintentional injuries victims treated in these EDs by means of a transversal descriptive study with data coming from EDs located in 35 municipalities with the highest injury rates. The data were collected during 30 consecutive days in an alternated 12-hour shift. There were a total of 41,677 patients with unintentional injuries, mainly among males (64.8%), people aged 20 to 29 years (23.0%) and low level of education (45.8%). Falls were the main cause (40.1% overall), followed by transport related injuries (26.6% overall). The more frequent place of occurrence were public streets (36.3% overall) and residences (33.6% overall). The body parts most affected were upper members (42.7%), lower members (42.0%) and head/face (29.2%). The injury surveillance in sentinel services allows collecting timeless data about minor cases which is essential for planning and implementing preventive measures.
2006年，巴西卫生部在哨点服务中建立了伤害监测系统网络（Rede VIVA），以描述在急诊科接受治疗的伤害受害者的数据，特别是那些未导致死亡和住院的轻伤。本研究通过横断面描述性研究，利用来自35个伤害率最高的城市的急诊科的数据，描述了在这些急诊科接受治疗的意外伤害受害者的特征。数据在连续30天内，以交替的12小时轮班方式收集。共有41677名意外伤害患者，主要为男性（64.8%）、20至29岁的人群（23.0%）以及低教育水平者（45.8%）。跌倒为主要原因（总体占40.1%），其次是与交通相关的伤害（总体占26.6%）。发生频率较高的地点是公共街道（总体占36.3%）和住宅（总体占33.6%）。受影响最严重的身体部位是上肢（42.7%）、下肢（42.0%）和头部/面部（29.2%）。哨点服务中的伤害监测能够收集有关轻微病例的即时数据，这对于规划和实施预防措施至关重要。
