Objective: to analyze the rate and causes of cancellations in an outpatient surgery unit at a university polyclinic that is part of the Unified Health System and located in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Method: a cross-sectional study carried out in the outpatient surgical center of a university polyclinic in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The data for the period August 2021 to July 2022 was extracted from the institution's database using a form containing the patients' sociodemographic and clinical variables, month, surgical specialty, causes and period of cancellation. The Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test was used for the age group variable, and Pearson's chi-square test was used for the month and specialty variables, with a significance level of 5%. Results: of the 2,147 outpatient surgeries scheduled, 334 were canceled, with an annual surgical cancellation rate of 15.55%. There was a statistically significant difference in cancellations in December (p= 0.010), in the vascular surgery specialty (p= 0.001) and in older adults (p= 0.007). A total of ten causes of cancellation were found, the most frequent being patient absence (n=117; 35.03%), unfavorable clinical conditions (n=92; 27.54%) and non-compliance with preoperative preparation (n=30; 8.98%). Conclusion: the surgical cancellation rate was high, mainly due to the patient's absence and clinical conditions on the day of surgery. It is hoped that the data will help to subsidize and raise awareness of the active participation of all professionals involved in outpatient surgery, in order to avoid cancellations.

Objetivo: analisar as estratégias da lista de verificação de segurança cirúrgica proposta pela Organização Mundial de Saúde e identificar as taxonomias de enfermagem, a fim de subsidiar um modelo para registro e operacionalização da Sistematização da Assistência de Enfermagem Perioperatória (SAEP). Método: estudo metodológico que visa identificar as ligações das taxonomias de enfermagem, por meio da SAEP. Foram listados os principais termos da lista de verificação de segurança cirúrgica, consultadas as taxonomias de enfermagem, diagnósticos de enfermagem da NANDA-Internacional, classificação dos resultados e das intervenções de enfermagem. Resultados: foi elaborado um modelo para registro e operacionalização da SAEP aplicado a segurança do paciente na assistência de enfermagem perioperatória, conforme cada fase de um fluxo normal de um procedimento cirúrgico. Conclusão: no modelo proposto para SAEP, foram contempladas as taxonomias NANDA-I, NOC e NIC que auxiliarão o enfermeiro no raciocínio clínico para avaliação e implementação de medidas preventivas de incidentes.

Revista Brasileira De Enfermagem, 2020
Objectives: to estimate the magnitude of the Nursing Activities Score effect on multiparametric monitor alarm response and staff response time. Methods: an observational, cross-sectional study outlined as an open cohort, performed in an Adult General Intensive Care Unit. The time taken for alarms triggered by the multi-parameter monitors was timed and characterized as attended or not. Results: the study obtained a total of 254 alarms triggered from the multiparameter monitors of 63 patients. The mean number of alarms triggered was 4.5 alarms per period/observation and 1.5 alarms/hour. The study showed that the Nursing Activities Score is associated with an additional probability of 4% (p < 0.05) of an alarm being met, for each additional point in the scale, and reduction in team response time. Conclusion: it has been verified that Nursing Activities Score has a direct relationship with the attendance and with the response time to the alarms triggered.
