Abstract

Objective: To analyze the challenges and benefits experienced by surgery teams when applying the safe surgery checklist. Method: This is an integrative review, in which the searches were carried out between September and November 2023. Results: 18 studies were selected to compose the review. The lack of time, lack of supervision and lack of training were considered impediments to the use of the tool in assistance. Applying the checklist makes it possible to improve patient safety. Assessing the risk of allergies, estimating blood loss and reserve blood components make it possible to reduce morbidity and mortality, contribute to humanized care, increase patient satisfaction, and improve teamwork. Conclusion: The application of the surgery checklist improved the interaction and communication of the multidisciplinary team. The main factor is the lack of time and the rush with which this team works in the surgical center.

Descriptors: Operating room nursing; Check list; Patient safety; Patient care team.
