Avaliação da adesão ao checklist de cirurgia segura da OMS em cirurgias urológicas e ginecológicas, em dois hospitais de ensino de Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil

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.

“…6 Establishing each team member's identity and responsibilities during SSC initiation enhanced team integrity, functionality, and sense of worth. 32,40 Yet, in the study by Nilsson et al, 36 only 14% of participants thought that ''introduction of team members'' was important in SSC. 36 Additionally, of the 5 studies that examined this category, participants in 3 studies suggested that SSC did not substantially improve team member identification.…”

This systematic review aimed to assess surgical safety checklist compliance and evaluate surgical team perceptions and attitudes, post-checklist implementation in the operating room. The World Health Organization (WHO) surgical safety checklist (SSC) has decreased complications and mortality. However, it is unclear whether this reduction is influenced by the vicarious enhancement in teamwork, communication, and staff awareness established by SSC implementation. The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses model of review guided a search across MEDLINE, PubMed, and Embase databases. English-language studies using any adapted form of the WHO-SSC in operating rooms were reviewed by abstract and full text. Twenty-six studies, 13 assessing SSC compliance and 13 investigating surgical team perceptions of SSC, were evaluated. Compliance studies showed a checklist initiation rate of .90%, but actual observed completion rate varied widely across studies. Sign out was the most poorly performed phase of the checklist (,50%) with time out being the best. Verification of patient identity and procedure demonstrated a high degree (.90%) of compliance across studies, but ''verification of team-members'' was significantly less compliant. Studies assessing surgical team perceptions found that SSC improved participants' perception of teamwork, communication, patient safety, and staff awareness of adverse events. However, when stakeholders placed differing degrees of importance on SSC completion, results indicated the SSC might actually antagonize team relationships. SSC compliance varies significantly across studies, being highly dependent on staff perceptions, training, and effective leadership. Surgical teams have positive perceptions

In the complex OR environment, perioperative team members need to practice communication and teamwork to ensure safe, high-quality care. A lack of collaboration among professionals in the OR during surgery results in inefficiency, increased tension, and suboptimal patient care. The purpose of this study was to determine how nurse anesthetists and OR nurses experienced their work in the OR. We used a qualitative design with a phenomenographic approach and conducted 12 interviews in two surgical departments in the southern part of Sweden. We identified four categories of description: team member approach, professional awareness, lifelong learning approach, and safety and the patient's interest. We found that the nurses' work experiences in the OR were multifaceted and correlated with concepts of teamwork, safety, and communication.T he OR is a highly technological and multiprofessional environment where team members must manage medical technology, time pressure, and productivity. In Sweden, the responsibilities of nurse anesthetists and OR nurses are to maintain a safe and secure environment of care for the patient during surgery. 1,2 The nurse anesthetist independently induces and maintains general anesthesia and extubates the patient with support from the anesthesiologist. 1 The OR nurse is responsible for aseptic technique, maintaining a sterile field, preparing supplies and instruments, counts, documentation, supporting the surgical team, and advocating for the patient. 2 Collaboration and communication among surgical team members help to ensure safe care during surgery. [3][4][5] Communication in the OR requires both verbal and nonverbal skills, the ability to listen actively, and basic interpersonal skills, such as being polite and speaking clearly. These skills help to achieve optimal communication among team members and a safe and effective OR environment. 6 Surgical team members who work together often can communicate and collaborate more effectively because working relationships need time to develop. 7,8 The absence of basic communication and respectful acknowledgment among OR staff members affect the ability to develop shared understandings, which is important in enhancing team performance. 8 STATEMENT OF PURPOSEThe purpose of this study was to describe the work experiences of nurse anesthetists and OR nurses in the OR. LITERATURE REVIEWBringing different professionals together does not always lead to optimal collaboration. Members of a team must trust each other to develop a common process, achieve professional collaboration, and develop high-quality care. 9 Four interactional factors are important for effective collaboration among health care teams: willingness to participate in collaborative practice, trust, communication, and mutual respect and understanding. 10 In the study by Lingard et al, 11 team members in the OR lacked insight into the professional roles and obligations of other team members, and when tension in the OR occurred, this often CONCLUSION Nurse anesthetists' and OR nurses' work expe...
