The study aimed to evaluate the in-hospital care of patients admitted with Acute Coronary Syndrome in the Adult Intensive Care Unit for the creation of nursing care protocols. This is a retrospective, documentary, exploratory, quantitative-based research project, for the month of May, 2017. Of the 26 admitted patients, it was verified that the majority were male, and the general age ranged from 21 to 94 years. The most frequent pathology with 65.4% was systemic arterial hypertension. Regarding the exams, 69.2% underwent radial catheterization. Regarding the procedures, 23.1% of the patients underwent femoral angioplasty and 15.4% of the radial angioplasty, and 23.6% of the patients, respectively, and myocardial revascularization. The results found reflect the profile of the patient admitted to the Intensive Care Unit and the use of invasive procedures to obtain the diagnosis and the targeted care of the SCA.
