Abstract
The aim was to outline the protocol for the preparation of the systematic review that will aim to identify the effectiveness of using care transfer tools for patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Systematic review of the standards of the MOOSE checklist (Meta-analyzes of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) with consultation in the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and LILACS databases until August 2020. The Health Sciences Descriptors (DECs) will be used: Handoff, Continuity of Patient Care, SBAR, ISBAR, SBAR-R, ISBARR, ISOBAR, Communication and Intensive Care Units. Observational studies that report the use of any tools for transferring care in patients admitted to any ICU will be included. Reviewers will independently track eligible articles; extract the data and assess the risk of bias. If possible, the study will include meta-analysis and if it is not plausible, the results will be compiled and presented in a table. The present study aims to identify solid and robust evidence to be used in clinical practice regarding the transition of care in patients hospitalized in ICUs.
