Education as a patient safety strategy in intensive Care: Pandemic times

In pandemic times, what can be said as a transpandemic period, continuing education does not serve to update existing knowledge, but to teach from scratch. The objective was to reflect on how continuing education acts as a patient safety strategy in intensive care in the transpandemic period. This is a bibliographic review of the literature, with a descriptive and critical-reflexive character and a qualitative approach. For discussion, the Thematic Content Analysis was used, which resulted in four categories, such as: Contextualization: a new world for Science and society, High Complexity in the pandemic, Patient Safety and Education saves lives. Excellent care means ensuring patient safety and it is through training, updating, all the mechanisms that education allows professionals to qualify that it is possible to reach the final objective, a positive prognosis, a quick recovery, a hospital discharge and quality of life.
