Importância da padronização de kits cirúrgicos no ambiente hospitalar: revisão integrativa

Abstract

The operating room (CC) pharmacy is a primary satellite pharmacy located within the operating room and charged for dispensing all the medicines and medical supplies used in surgeries in a hospital. The purpose of this study was to analyze and demonstrate, using data from the literature, the importance of standardizing surgical kits, since standardizing materials is essential in operating rooms due to the technical specificity of their processes. This is an integrative literature review. The search resulted in 6 articles in SciELO and 168 articles in PubMed. Obeying to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, few answered the guiding question, considering 2 articles in SciELO and 9 in PubMed. Therefore, 11 articles remained for analysis in this review. The results indicate that the strategy of optimizing surgical kits in a hospital, through the use of quality tools and material management, is extremely important for several reasons: patient safety, operational efficiency, waste reduction, quality of care, optimization of resources, continuous improvement, with the periodic review of surgical kits, and the management process. Despite the finding of deficiencies in the subject in the literature, mainly national, during the development and conclusion of the study, it was possible to identify the importance of systematizing pharmaceutical assistance in the CC, through the establishment of appropriate methods to measure the control of materials. Given the proposed interventions and evidence-based care practices, the pharmacist's guidance is vital to achieving results.
