Results: Emotional exhaustion was more frequent in 50% of the interviewed general surgeons, depersonalization was present in 58.5% of neurosurgeons, low professional performance was presented in all the interviewed traumatologists.
Conclusions: Several factors influence so that the presence of burnout syndrome is present in the professionals surveyed, the most frequent factor is the number of hours worked per week, caring for the patient in the emergency area seems to be an influential factor.
