Abstract
Objective: To identify the screening tools used in the literature as screeners for adverse drug reactions in the intensive care patients and the evidence that supports the routine use of these tools. Methods: This is a systematic review of the literature, based on primary studies related to the topic, published in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Lilacs and EMBASE, and in more common journals that publish on patient safety. Results: The work included 4 primary studies, the results show the trackers as an effective method for identifying ADRs in critical patients, and suggest that an ideal model is one that includes more efficient alerts to identify a greater number of possible harms to the patient, compounds due to prescription or abrupt suspension of certain medications, changes in laboratory tests and specific events during the period of hospitalization, which must be subject to modifications to adapt to the practice or culture of the institutions. Final considerations: The scarcity of studies points to the need for more research in this area so that the use of these tools can be better understood and reproduced.
