Abstract
Objective
To construct and validate a multiprofessional care flowchart for acute pesticide intoxication cases in Primary Health Care.

The flowchart construction was carried out based on scientific literature, addressing the topic of pesticides, and a press conference involving 19 Primary Health Care professionals in a municipality in Santa Catarina, in December 2018. The validation process was carried out through a Google Forms questionnaire, by seven judges. The Percentage of Agreement and the Content Validity Index were used.
Results
The flowchart had a global content validity of 0.97, with the first eight items having a maximum value and approval by the Municipal Health Council.
Conclusion
The flowchart started to be used as a technological tool that guides and qualifies the care of acute pesticide intoxications cases.
