Acquiring knowledge concerning the characteristics of the population that seeks an emergency department can support the planning of health actions. This study identifies the socio-demographic profile and the main complaints of the adult population cared for in a Referral Emergency Unit (RECU). This descriptive and retrospective study was conducted in the RECU of a university hospital in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The sample was composed of the service’s care forms generated for the period between January and December 2008. The instrument was based on data contained in the care forms. Young women (14 to 54 years old), residents of neighborhoods near the RECU, spontaneously sought the service during the week from 7am to 7pm. The most frequent complaints were headache, back pain, abdominal and chest pain. The conclusion is that most of the sample was young adults, of productive age, female, who spontaneously sought the service on weekdays during the day. Most complaints were of low complexity.

Lean is widely applied in manufacturing and service sectors. Lean's contribution to the healthcare sector is significant study in reducing medical costs and increasing customer satisfaction. Excessive overcrowding and overloading in some units such as: emergency unit, endoscopy unit, imaging unit, inpatient ward, pharmacy, etc. are major problems. Of which, pharmacy is the unit where the outpatients to receive the medicine, for payment progressing and receive medication order from other units. It is a bad experience and being uncomfortable to the patient to spend more time to receive the medication after a long way of many evaluations. Moreover than that, crosscontamination may cause from different patients once many patients are gathering at one place. Therefore, overcoming and overcrowding at the Pharmacy should be a prioritied solving. The topic “Lean application for the Pharmcy in Medication Administration to outpatients who have Health Insurance at Hoan My SaiGon Hospital” will improve on waiting time and provide an efficient healthcare service to the patients. This article demonstrates on DMAIC progressing and how to improve on waiting time for the outpatient who has Health Inurance at the Pharmacy of Hoan My Sai Gon General Hospital. The article will be included minitab software to analyze data and tools in Lean Six Sigma in the DMAIC progressing (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control).

Summary Aortic dissection is a quite rare but serious condition, often associated with a very high mortality rate; it is manifested by sudden chest pain and acute hemodynamic compromise. In the presented review, a case of an ascending aortic dissection with the lethal outcome is been shown. A healthy man with no past history of illness suddenly felt acute excruciating chest pain which was radiating to the back. A quick diagnosis, ideally within one hour of manifestation, heart auscultation and echocardiography are the key to aortic dissection recovery.
