SUMMARY:

Signs of clinical deterioration may already be present at the time of pediatric hospitalization or may appear suddenly, configuring a serious situation that can prolong hospital stay, increase the risk of morbidity, disability and death. In an attempt to anticipate the recognition of signs of clinical deterioration in the pediatric patient, a variety of Pediatric Early Warning Systems have been proposed by study groups around the world. In Brazil, this system was adapted from the Brighton Pediatric Early Warning Score and showed good accuracy. The objective of this study is to implement the Pediatric Early Warning in a pediatric inpatient unit. The research is of the Convergent Assistance type with a qualitative and quantitative approach. Data collection, production and analysis will be carried out following the steps of the convergent care research. In the first stage, the conception, the theme was delimited, the research problem was contextualized and the general objective was elaborated. In the second stage, instrumentation, the pediatric ward was defined as the collection site where the researcher is part of the professional team of this scenario, and doctors and nurses as study participants, with definition of inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the third stage, scrutiny, data will be collected in five moments: application of a pre-test questionnaire; training on Pediatric Early Warning; application of the early warning score; semi-interview and implementation of the early warning score in the ward. For data analysis, the phases of convergent care research will be used, according to Trentini and Paim (2014): apprehension, synthesis and theorization. For this purpose, the ATLAS.ti® version 9.1 qualitative data analysis and management software will be used. It is expected that the implementation of the Pediatric Early Warning is plausible for the care practice of the health team in question, that it helps to identify cases of clinical deterioration in the pediatric population in a concise and objective way, generates alerts and favors the taking of appropriate actions, in a satisfactory time and this will contribute to the quality of care provided.
