Objectives: to assess the skills of health professionals in the emergency mobile prehospital service, in Basic Life Support, through realistic simulation. Method: cross-sectional observational analytical study, with a population composed of doctors and nurses from the pre-hospital service. The profile and skills in cardiopulmonary resuscitation were evaluated. Results: it was observed that 61.4% of those evaluated obtained a “very good” concept in the initial assessment, 73.7% in chest compressions, 50.9% in ventilations, 84.2% in defibrillation and 54.4% in clearance Airways. The lowest scores were observed in the last season, where 53.8% reported not having participated in courses taken at the service, 30.8% did not participate in courses outside the service. Professional factors such as gender, participation in training, frequency of contact with cardiac arrest, significantly influenced the results of the evaluations. Conclusion: heterogeneity in the results was identified and the need for greater adherence by health professionals to health teaching activities.
