Avaliação dos indicadores de qualidade de tempo do centro cirúrgico para procedimentos eletivos em um hospital terciário de Santa Catarina

Abstract

Objective: Evaluate the time indicators of operating rooms on a medium size and high complexity private hospital located in western Santa Catarina. Methods: It is a cross-sectional descriptive study using primers data obtained by time timing done by researchers (150 surgeries), and secondary data from the hospital information system (3291 surgeries). Results: The average time interval between the patient entering the operating room and the start of surgery was 21,9 minutes, and from the end of the operation until the patient left the room was 14,3 minutes. The average total time of patient permanence in operating room was 82,6 minutes, in which, 62,1 minutes correspond to the period which the patient remains anesthetized and 45,2 minutes correspond to the operation. The total time on non-operative process (turnover) was 32,3 minutes. The comparative analysis of results from temporal average obtained by researchers with data’s information system of the hospital, demonstrated certain equivalence between times, with average difference of 2,4 minutes. Conclusion: From the results presented, it is possible to analyze the surgery center practices and identify indicators considered satisfactory and others unsatisfactory. The non-operatory time was the furthest from the ideal, especially in the period that concerns the end of cleaning until the next patient arrives.
