ABSTRACTDescriptive review study of national scientific literature. Objective: To be based on the following guiding question: “What types of processing carried out by Nursing in the urgent and emergency service are necessary for the safe reuse of laryngoscope kits (handle and blade)?”.  Method: A descriptive review of the national literature was carried out through the Virtual Health Library (VHL). Result: Three studies were identified, 2 of which were literature reviews and 1 was an experimental study, the results of which revealed a lack of definition in the classification of the laryngoscope kit and a wide range of processing methods, which could lead to the risk of acquiring an infection. Conclusion: Laryngoscope kits are semi-critical materials and cannot be considered materials independent of the blades. It is worth mentioning that the microbial and organic load pointed out in some articles in this review illustrates a serious flaw in the set’s processing routine, as well as the limitations of the publications indicated, consider that the main implication of these findings for nursing practice is the adoption of cleaning followed high-level cleaning as well as minimal processing.

Keywords: Laryngoscopes. Disinfection. Urgency and Emergency. Nursing.
