Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the adherence to the checklist procedure in surgeries performed in a public teaching hospital and to identify the patient’s profile regarding its use. Method: a descriptive study methodology was performed, which was conducted at the surgical ward of the Hospital Universitario de Londrina-PR from August to December 2014. Four hundred perioperative verification instruments were analyzed. Results: there was a predominance of male patients (55.5%), aged 21–40 years, and the predominant medical specialty was orthopedics. After 5 years of implementation and a second reformulation of the checklist, there was a considerable decrease in the number of unfilled instruments (blank), but there was an increase in the number of incomplete instruments. Conclusion: the adherence to the checklist needs to be improved to contribute to the reduction of adverse events, which may affect surgical patients and is a challenge for institutions and their staff.
