NORMATIVE CONVERGENCE IN TACTICAL PRE-HOSPITAL CARE IN BRAZIL: A REINTERPRETATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 98/2022 AND ITS COMPATIBILITY WITH THE INSTITUTIONAL MODEL OF THE MILITARY POLICE OF PARANÁ

Abstract

This article analyzes the relationship between the National Tactical Pre-Hospital Care Guideline, established by Ordinance No. 98/2022 of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, and the operational model consolidated by the Military Police of Paraná (PMPR), proposing an interpretation that highlights structural convergence—and not mismatch—between the two normative systems. The research adopts a qualitative approach, with a systematic analysis of Annexes I-A, I-B, I-C, and I-D of the Ordinance, which reveal a technical, curricular, and procedural density substantially higher than what a reading of the main text of the norm in isolation might suggest. It was found that the Ordinance establishes minimum competencies by employment level, a mandatory 30-hour curriculum matrix with simulated practical exercises, technical specifications for the individual kit referenced to the international standard of the CoTCCC, and a minimum structured content for non-dedicated courses—elements that align with the tripartite model of the PMPR, based on the pillars of training, standardization, and execution. The main challenge for Tactical Pre-Hospital Care in Brazil, therefore, does not lie in the absence of federal parameters, but in the insufficient effective implementation by the federative entities and the lack of a formal law that confers full legal efficacy to the existing technical framework.
