Results:
The search totaled 825 scientific productions, 31 of which met the objective of the study, which consisted of 27 scientific articles and 4 expert consensus. It was possible to carry out a synthesis of the necessary steps for the investigation of adverse events and use of the tools according to the extent of damage.
Conclusion:
