Safe surgery checklist: content validation proposal for liver transplantation

Abstract

Objectives: to develop the safe surgery checklist for liver transplantation according to the original model of the World Health Organization and perform content validation. Methods: a methodological research developed in four stages: integrative review; expert participation; consensus among researchers; and content validation using the Delphi technique in two rounds, by five judges. For data analysis, the Content Validation Index was used. Results: the first version of the checklist consisted of four surgical moments with 64 items of verification, with an average Content Validation Index of 0.80. After adjustments, in the second round the checklist maintained four surgical moments with 76 items and a Content Validation Index of 0.87. Conclusions: the checklist was validated and adequate for the safety of liver transplantation in the surgical environment, given that each item established must be mapped and managed for the success and effectiveness of the procedure.

Content validation of an instrument for hemotherapy attention in liver transplants: promoting biomonitoring in health

“…Vale destacar que já há instrumentos validados capazes de apoiar o enfermeiro diante da gestão de segurança do paciente no centro cirúrgico. Um estudo mostrou a adaptação do checklist da cirurgia segura para o transplante hepático (9) . Esse instrumento permite ao enfermeiro gerenciar cada passo dos tempos cirúrgicos durante esta cirurgia.…”

Evaluating the Effects of a General Anesthesia and Prone Position Nursing Checklist and Training Course on Posterior Lumbar Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…A wide range of medical checklists have been developed over the past few decades, with demonstrated success at helping health workers avoid preventable complications and save lives. 11,12 There are currently 2 research-derived checklists for anesthesia nurses and intensive care unit (ICU) practitioners to ensure proper prone positioning technique. 13,14 These 2 checklists can effectively improve prone positioning care safety and standardize the prone positioning process.…”

“…Evidence-based medical checklists transferred from high-quality clinical practice guidelines in addition to training courses are an effective way to bridge the gap between evidence and safe daily practice (American Society of Anesthesiologists, 2009). A wide range of medical checklists have been developed over the past few decades, with demonstrated success at helping health workers avoid preventable complications and save lives 11,12 . There are currently 2 research-derived checklists for anesthesia nurses and intensive care unit (ICU) practitioners to ensure proper prone positioning technique 13,14 .…”
