Background and Objectives: To analyze the golden time developed by the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) in Floriano, Piauí, Brazil. There are few productions that primarily emphasize the service’s response time (golden hour), crucial for students and professionals in the field, whose knowledge on the issue can lead to saving lives. Methods: This is a descriptive, documentary, and quantitative study that analyzed emergency care records for the year 2018. It is based on the survey of the variables of the golden time stages, their nature, and the duration of events, analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. This study met all ethical principles based on the approval opinion of the ethics committee (No. 96443518.4.0000.5660). Results: The most frequent golden time performed by Samu was 15 to 30 minutes, in 58.5% of the cases. Adult clinical urgencies and emergencies were the most common types of events (35.50%). Conclusion: The most frequent service provided by Floriano’s Samu was clinical urgencies and emergencies in adults, with a response time of 15 to 30 minutes.
