Francieli Molinett

The purpose of storage is to ensure that the pharmacological and physico-chemical properties of the medicinal products are preserved during their shelf life or wherever stored until the patient's use. SAMU-192 is no different, therefore, the SAMU-192 Pharmacy service in southwestern Paraná, through this study, aimed to establish the Pharmaceutical Inspection in the ten decentralized bases of the southwestern region of Paraná, monitoring the storage in the storeroom and ambulances. In addition, the results of the inspections carried out from May 2016 to May 2017 were evaluated through documentary analysis, where data from the documents produced in the inspections were tabulated in an Excel spreadsheet with the aid of descriptive statistics obeying the inspection script. The study showed the importance of Pharmaceutical Care in the prehospital environment, since potential problems were found in relation to medications such as the presence of overdue lots in the warehouse and in the medicine cases in the ambulances. More studies are needed to guide the activity of the pharmaceutical professional in the prehospital environment, which is so scarce in Brazil and in other countries.
