Abstract

Abstract: Patient safety is the second challenge posed by the World Health Organization, since 25% of hospitalizations are related to adverse events produced during surgeries. Objective:To describe the association between the application of the surgical checklist and surgical and postsurgical complications in scheduled surgeries. Material and methods:Descriptive, retrospective -prospective, cross-sectional study; period 2019 -2020. Convenience sampling: by inclusion and exclusion criteria. The safe surgery checklist was applied. Data analyzed in the statistical software SPSS IBM Statistics version 26.0. Results:56.1% of the surgeries performed apply the safe surgery checklist correctly. 1.4% of scheduled surgeries had complications and 0.5% were due to bleeding from the greater omentum. Conclusions:The low level of compliance is directly associated with the degree of knowledge and application of the safe surgery checklist.
