    Objective: Systematically demonstrate the available evidence from studies on the effectiveness of intramuscular drug administration in the ventrogluteal area compared to the dorsogluteal area in patients attending the emergency department. Materials and Methods: The systematic review of the 11 scientific articles found on the effectiveness of intramuscular injection sites (ventrogluteal compared to dorsogluteal area) shows that administering medications causes less pain and fewer complications in patients attending the emergency department. These were found in the following databases: Cochrane, Lilacs, Scielo, Medline, Pubmed, and were all analyzed using the GRADE scale to determine their strength and quality of evidence. Results: Of the 11 articles reviewed, 100% (n=11/11) indicate the effectiveness of the ventrogluteal injection site compared to the dorsogluteal area, producing less pain, fewer traumas (fear), and fewer complications in patients attending the emergency department. 3/11 articles mention that both sites are adequate and recommend further research. Conclusion: Of the reviewed articles, 100% (n=11/11) report that medication administration in the ventrogluteal area causes less pain and fewer complications.
