Objective: to characterize the victims of external causes treated in the Red Room of a public hospital in the Federal District. Method: quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional and analytical study, based on secondary data from June/2019 to June/2020, obtained from the Red Room admissions book. Data analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel 2016 software. Results: there was a predominance of males (74.4%), aged between 20 and 39 years, with a higher occurrence of attendance in december, on weekends, at night. The main external cause was aggression, resulting in head and/or neck trauma. Inter-hospital transfer was the main outcome. Aggression by firearm was prevalent among deaths. Conclusion: Data analysis reveals greater vulnerability of young men to external causes, highlighting the need to develop new studies that contribute to the planning of public policies focused on reducing violence and accidents.
