Abstract

Introduction: Potentially dangerous drugs (MPP) are those that can cause significant harm to patients in the event of failure in their management. The objective is to assess the knowledge of nurses and anesthesiologists who work in the operating room about potentially dangerous drugs (MPP). Method: Observational, cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study, with a quantitative approach, using a validated instrument, translated and adapted to the Brazilian context, the Potentially Hazardous Medicines Questionnaire, which was applied to nurses and anesthesiologists in the operating room of a Public Hospital of the Federal District. Results: There was no statistically significant correlation between quantitative variables (age, time since training and time working in CC) and the professional's knowledge of potentially dangerous drugs. Conclusion: The analysis of the results showed us that professionals, nurses and anesthesiologists, have knowledge of PPM.
