Abstract
OBJECTIVE the study evaluated the effect of using the safe surgery checklist (CL) on the incidence of adverse events (AE). METHODS cross-sectional and retrospective research with 851 patients undergoing surgical procedures in 2012 (n=428) and 2015 (n=423), representing the periods before and after CL implantation. The AE incidences for each year were estimated and compared. The association between the occurrence of AE and the presence of CL in the medical record was analyzed. RESULTS a reduction in the point estimate of AE was observed from 13.6% (before using the CL) to 11.8% (with the use of the CL). The difference between the proportions of AE in the periods before and after the use of CL was not significant (p=0.213). The occurrence of AE showed association with the following characteristics: anesthetic risk of the patient, length of stay, surgery time and classification of the procedure according to the potential for contamination. Considering the proportion of deaths, there was a significant reduction in deaths (p=0.007) in patients whose CL was used when compared to those without the use of the instrument. There was no significant association between the presence of CL and the occurrence of AE. It was concluded that the presence of CL in the medical record did not guarantee an expected reduction in the incidence of AE. CONCLUSION however, it is believed that the use of the instrument integrated with other patient safety strategies can improve the safety/quality of surgical care in the long term.

Abstract
RESUMO Objetivo: o estudo objetivou avaliar o efeito da utilização do checklist (CL) de cirurgia segura na incidência de eventos adversos (EA). Método: pesquisa transversal e retrospectiva com 851 pacientes submetidos a procedimentos cirúrgicos nos anos de 2012 (n=428) e 2015 (n=423), representando os períodos antes e após a implantação do CL. As incidências de EA para cada ano foram estimadas e posteriormente comparadas. Também foi analisada a associação entre a ocorrência do EA e a presença do CL no prontuário. Resultados: observou-se uma redução na estimativa pontual de EA de 13,6% (antes do uso do CL) para 11,8% (com a utilização do CL). No entanto, a diferença entre as proporções de EA nos períodos antes e após a utilização do CL não foi significativa (p=0,213). A ocorrência do EA mostrou associação significativa às seguintes características: risco anestésico do paciente, tempo de internação, tempo de cirurgia e classificação do procedimento segundo o potencial de contaminação. Considerando a proporção de óbitos ocorridos nas amostras, observou-se uma redução significativa de mortes (p=0,007) em pacientes cujo CL foi utilizado quando comparados aqueles sem o uso do instrumento. Não foi verificada associação significativa entre a presença do CL no prontuário e a ocorrência do EA de forma geral. Conclusão: a presença do CL no prontuário não garantiu uma redução esperada na incidência de EA. No entanto, acredita-se que o uso do instrumento integrado às demais estratégias de segurança do paciente possa melhorar a segurança/qualidade da assistência cirúrgica em longo prazo.

Abstract
RESUMO Objetivo analisar os eventos adversos cirúrgicos divulgados por uma mídia brasileira. Método pesquisa documental, qualitativa. A fonte de informação consistiu em reportagens audiovisuais sobre danos decorrentes de intervenções cirúrgicas, noticiadas em uma mídia brasileira. Para as buscas no portal eletrônico, consideraram-se as publicadas até junho de 2019. O referencial de Bardin foi empregado na análise temática. Os incidentes mencionados foram classificados segundo as barreiras de segurança contidas na Lista de Verificação de Segurança Cirúrgica (LVSC) da Organização Mundial da Saúde. Resultados foram analisados 16 casos apresentados através de 17 reportagens. Do total de falhas cometidas (n=16), a maioria (n=13) poderia ser prevenida através da checagem de itens contidos na LVSC. Na análise temática, três categorias emergiram: i. incidente relacionado à intervenção cirúrgica; ii. danos físicos, psicológicos e socioeconômicos decorrentes; iii. consequências ético-profissionais e/ou jurídicas. Conclusão e implicações para a prática os eventos adversos cirúrgicos divulgados pelas reportagens impactaram sobremaneira a vida dos pacientes, nos aspectos físicos, emocionais e socioeconômicos. Ainda trouxeram implicações para os profissionais envolvidos e instituições de saúde. Acredita-se que, as barreiras de segurança contidas em instrumento de verificação mundialmente reconhecido, são importantes ferramentas a serem empregadas para promover a segurança do paciente cirúrgico e salvar vidas.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the mortality, reoperation, and readmission rates before and after the implementation of a surgical checklist in Brazil and Canada. DESIGN An epidemiological, retrospective study was conducted. METHODS Preimplementation and postimplementation data were collected via patient chart reviews to determine mortality, reoperation, and readmission rates. FINDINGS In Brazil, a decrease in readmission rate from 2.9% to 1.7% (P = .518) was observed after the implementation of the checklist. In Canada, reoperation rate decreased from 5.6% to 4.8% (P = .649) and mortality from 1.7% to 0.9% (P = .407) after implementation. In the Brazilian institution, patients with incomplete checklists had increased rates of readmission, from 1.4% to 2.4% (P = .671), and reoperation, from 6.8% to 10.4% (P = .232). CONCLUSIONS The use of surgical checklist did not translate into improvements in the outcomes studied after its implementation in any of the scenarios evaluated. This result is possibly justified by the socioeconomic structure of each of these settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of delivery care in maternity wards in Brazil and Mexico based on good practices (GP) and adverse events (AE), in order to identify priorities for improvement. DESIGN A multicentre cross-sectional study with data collection from medical records between 2015 and 2016 to compare indicators of maternal and neonatal GP and EA based on the Safe Childbirth Checklist and standardised obstetric quality indicators. Two Brazilian and five Mexican maternity wards participated in the study. Descriptive statistics and χ2 tests were performed to assess performance and significant differences between the hospitals investigated. SAMPLING We analysed 720 births in Brazil and 2707 in Mexico, which were selected using a systematic random sampling of 30 medical records every fortnight for 12 2-week periods in Brazil and 18 2-week periods in Mexico. We included women and their newborns, excluding those with congenital malformations. RESULTS The Mexican hospitals showed greater adherence to GP (58.2%) and a lower incidence of AE (12.9%) than the participating institutions in Brazil (26.8% compliance with GP and 16.0% AE). In spite of these differences, the relative importance of particular quality problems and type of AE are similar in both countries. Tertiary hospitals, caring for women at higher risk, have significantly (p<0.001) higher rates of AE (27.2% in Brazil and 29.6% in Mexico) than institutions attending women at lower risk, where the frequency of AE ranges from 4.7% to 11.2%. Differences were significant (p<0.001) for most indicators of GP and AE. CONCLUSION Data from outcome and process measures revealed similar types of failures in the quality of childbirth care in both countries and indicate the need of rationalising the use of antibiotics for the mother and episiotomy, encouraging greater adherence to partograph and to the use of magnesium sulfate for the treatment of severe preeclampsia/eclampsia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to estimate the prevalence and avoidability of surgical adverse events in a teaching hospital and to classify the events according to the type of incident and degree of damage. METHOD cross-sectional retrospective study carried out in two phases. In phase I, nurses performed a retrospective review on a simple randomized sample of 192 records of adult patients using the Canadian Adverse Events Study form for case tracking. Phase II aimed at confirming the adverse event by an expert committee composed of physicians and nurses. Data were analyzed by univariate descriptive statistics. RESULTS the prevalence of surgical adverse events was 21.8%. In 52.4% of the cases, detection occurred on outpatient return. Of the 60 cases analyzed, 90% (n = 54) were preventable and more than two thirds resulted in mild to moderate damage. Surgical technical failures contributed in approximately 40% of the cases. There was a prevalence of the infection category associated with health care (50%, n = 30). Adverse events were mostly related to surgical site infection (30%, n = 18), suture dehiscence (16.7%, n = 10) and hematoma/seroma (15%, n = 9). CONCLUSION the prevalence and avoidability of surgical adverse events are challenges faced by hospital management.

Abstract
Logbook is a digital tool launched by the Brazilian Society of Anesthesiology in 2014 and has since been used. This tool allows physicians specializing in anesthesiology to record and store activities performed during the training period. This enabled a descriptive analysis of an extensive database of anesthetic procedures, as well as complications that occurred and were reported by these doctors. The present study includes the review of these data over a period of 2 years (2014–2015).

Abstract
Introducción: el instrumentador quirúrgico cumple un papel importante en la atención del paciente quirúrgico, involucrándose en la manipulación de medicamentos que pueden generar incidentes y eventos adversos (EA). El presente estudio describe los EA publicados que ocurrieron durante la atención intraoperatoria. Materiales y métodos: revisión de la literatura en las plataformas Cochrane, MEDLINE, Embase y bases de datos de literatura de salud Pubmed, OVID, UptoDate y Scielo entre 2006 y 2017. Resultados: se localizaron 1.747 documentos eliminándose 1.697 por no cumplir con criterios de inclusión y de los 50 restantes se descartaron 41 por no contar con información de interés para el presente estudio. Conclusiones: aunque en los quirófanos los EA asociados con la manipulación de medicamentos no es infrecuente, se requieren más estudios con alto nivel de evidencia que permitan asociar la práctica asistencial del instrumentador quirúrgico con dichos EA intraoperatorios.

Abstract
RESUMO Objetivo: identificar a adesão ao checklist de cirurgia segura, a partir do seu preenchimento, em um hospital geral de referência do interior do Estado de Minas Gerais, bem como, verificar os fatores associados à sua utilização. Métodos: trata-se de estudo transversal, documental, retrospectivo de abordagem quantitativa. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio da revisão retrospectiva de prontuários de uma amostra de pacientes operados no período de um ano. Foram incluídos os atendimentos de pacientes cirúrgicos de todas as especialidades, com idade de 18 anos ou mais, e período de internação igual ou maior do que 24 horas. A amostra probabilística foi de 423 casos. Resultados: o checklist estava presente em 95% dos prontuários. Porém, apenas 67,4% deles estavam com preenchimento completo. A presença do checklist no prontuário apresentou associação significativa com o risco anestésico do paciente. Não houve diferença no percentual de preenchimento entre os três momentos do checklist: antes da indução anestésica (sign in), antes da incisão cirúrgica (time out ou parada cirúrgica) e antes do paciente deixar a sala de cirurgia (sign out). Também não foram encontradas diferenças significativas em relação ao percentual de preenchimento dos itens de responsabilidade do cirurgião. Considerando o procedimento cirúrgico realizado, foram encontradas incoerências no item lateralidade. Conclusão: apesar do elevado percentual de prontuários com checklist, a presença de incompletude e incoerência pode comprometer os resultados esperados na segurança do paciente cirúrgico.

Abstract
Abstract Objective: To understand the perception of nursing staff about intraoperative distractions and interruptions. Methods: An exploratory qualitative study was performed with 16 nursing professionals of a surgical center in Minas Gerais. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview and thematic content analysis was performed. Results: When reflecting on the occurrence of distractions and interruptions of intraoperative activities, nursing professionals define, identify and value events in a heterogeneous way, but believe that distractions and interruptions negatively affect both the quality of the work environment and the safety of care provided to the surgical patient. Factors contributing to the occurrence of distractions and interruptions are related to aspects inside the operating room such as equipment failure and use of cell phones and to external factors such as verbal messages given at the operating room door. Incidents have been reported due to distractions, but there are no established actions to minimize these events. Conclusion: This study indicates the importance of implementing strategies that minimize the occurrence of distractions and interruptions of intraoperative activities in order to plan surgical care better, and prevent and mitigate harm to patients.

Abstract
The study describes adherence to completion of the safe surgery checklist and its respective items by health professionals in a public hospital's surgical center. This was a retrospective document study covering the period from 2010 to 2015. The results show that 58.5% of the checklists were completed out of a total of 24,421 surgeries performed. Checklist adherence was only higher on weekdays in the first year of the study, even though there was a specific professional designated to complete it. There were differences in completion between the surgical times, and in times 1 and 2, there were items that were never used, such as members of the surgical team, patient identification, and place of the surgery. No important changes were observed in adherence to completion of the safe surgery checklist during the study period.

Abstract
Background The national incidence of adverse events (AEs) in Swedish orthopedic care has never been described. A new national database has made it possible to describe incidence, nature, preventability and consequences of AEs in Swedish orthopedic care. Methods We used national data from a structured two-stage record review with a Swedish modification of the Global Trigger Tool. The sample was 4,994 randomly selected orthopedic admissions in 56 hospitals during 2013 and 2014. The AEs were classified according to the Swedish Patient Safety Act into preventable or non-preventable. Results At least one AE occurred in 733 (15 %, 95 % CI 13.7–15.7) admissions. Of 950 identified AEs, 697 (73 %) were judged preventable. More than half of the AEs (54 %) were of temporary nature. The most common types of AE were healthcare-associated infections and distended urinary bladder. Patients ≥65 years had more AEs (p < 0.001), and were more often affected by pressure ulcer (p < 0.001) and urinary tract infections (p < 0.01). Distended urinary bladder was seen more frequently in patients aged 18–64 years (p = 0.01). Length of stay was twice as long for patients with AEs (p < 0.001). We estimate 232,000 extra hospital days due to AEs during these 2 years. The pattern of AEs in orthopedic care was different compared to other hospital specialties. Conclusions Using a national database, we found AEs in 15 % of orthopedic admissions. The majority of the AEs was of temporary nature and judged preventable. Our results can be used to guide focused patient safety work.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluate pre- and intraoperative practices adopted by medical and nursing teams for the prevention of surgical infections. METHOD A prospective study carried out in the period of April to May 2013, in a surgical center of a university hospital in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. RESULTS 18 surgeries were followed and 214 surgical gloves were analyzed, of which 23 (10.7%) had postoperative glove perforation detected, with 52.2% being perceived by users. Hair removal was performed on 27.7% of patients in the operating room, with the use of blades in 80% of the cases. Antibiotic prophylaxis was administered to 81.8% of patients up to 60 minutes prior to surgical incision. An average of nine professionals were present during surgery and the surgery room door remained open in 94.4% of the procedures. CONCLUSION Partial adhesion to the recommended measures was identified, reaffirming a need for greater attention to these critical steps/actions in order to prevent surgical site infection.

Abstract
O checklist de cirurgia segura da Organização Mundial da Saúde é uma ferramenta útil para diminuir eventos adversos em hospitais, porém sua implantação efetiva ainda é um desafio. Este estudo objetiva avaliar a adesão ao checklist em cirurgias urológicas e ginecológicas de dois hospitais de ensino em Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. O desenho foi observacional transversal; selecionaram-se cirurgias eletivas, e a coleta se deu por meio de revisão de prontuários. Descreveu-se a adesão mediante a existência e qualidade do preenchimento do checklist, e analisou-se a associação de fatores estruturais e socioprofissionais valendo-se de análise de regressão múltipla. Das 375 cirurgias revisadas, 61% tinham checklist, e 4% estavam totalmente preenchidos. A existência do checklist se associou às cirurgias ginecológicas (maternidade) (OR = 130,18) e à maior duração da cirurgia (OR = 2,13), enquanto a qualidade do preenchimento se relacionou com as cirurgias urológicas (hospital geral) (β = 26,36). A adesão ao checklist precisa ser aprimorada, e as diferenças sugerem a influência das distintas estratégias de implantação utilizadas em cada instituição.

Abstract
OBJETIVO: Verificar o conhecimento da equipe de enfermagem sobre eventos adversos em pacientes em centro cirúrgico, apontar possíveis causas, identificar de quem é a responsabilidade pelos mesmos e necessidade de notificação Métodos: Pesquisa descritiva realizada por meio de questionário com dez afirmativas sobre causas para a ocorrência de eventos adversos e quatro cenários, conduzida com 31 profissionais de enfermagem do centro cirúrgico de um hospital privado. RESULTADOS: As causas mais freqüentes foram a rotina na programação de procedimentos eletivos e comunicação ineficaz entre a equipe de enfermagem e médica. Todos os cenários foram identificados como eventos adversos e com necessidade de notificação. A segurança do paciente não é vista como responsabilidade de toda a equipe multiprofissional. CONCLUSÃO: A enfermagem deve defender os interesses dos pacientes, conhecer os riscos inerentes ao processo cirúrgico e alertar os integrantes da equipe sobre os possíveis problemas que possam ocorrer.
