Abstract

Abstract: Patient safety is essential in surgical procedures, since it can reduce errors and adverse events, these can put the patient&#39;s life at risk or cause sequelae, which is why the World Health Organization implemented the safe surgery checklist. The present work evaluated the knowledge of indicators of safe surgical practices, through a survey of 47 professionals from the surgical center of the Isidro Ayora Hospital, compliance with the application of the list with observation guide was verified in 102 procedures; the results obtained showed that 89.4% have knowledge and 10.6% do not know, the level of compliance of 39% was with excellence and 26% did not comply. In the bivariate analysis of contingency tables, there was no statistical significance relating knowledge to age, profession and experience; being the age with the years of experience statistically significant (chi square < 0.005). Finally, it is concluded that, despite adequate knowledge, there is not enough importance inits application due to lack of interest in its majority and lack of time.
