Information was collected from a sample of 38 people through the application of a survey and checklist. The results obtained with the application of the instruments report that in this service there is an exclusive room for cardio-pulmonary brain resuscitation, that the medicines and elements to carry out the resuscitation process are sufficient and that two to four people are involved, led by the doctor It is important to highlight that during the data collection it was detected that in this institution there is no continuous education or training on the resuscitation process, so it was necessary to design and socialize a protocol that serves as a model of organization and functioning to bring the cardio-pulmonary brain resuscitation process and thus strengthen the previous knowledge, experience and skills of the interdisciplinary team.
