          Abstract

          RESUMO Objetivo Verificar a percepção dos profissionais de enfermagem sobre a segurança do paciente durante o transporte intra-hospitalar do paciente internado em unidade de terapia intensiva. Método Estudo descritivo, qualitativo, com participação de 21 profissionais de enfermagem que atuavam em unidade de terapia intensiva de um hospital público na região sul do Brasil. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas em novembro de 2012 e analisados através da análise de conteúdo de Minayo. Resultados Foram evidenciadas três categorias: responsabilidade do profissional de saúde no transporte intra-hospitalar; situação de risco para o paciente no transporte intra-hospitalar; qualidade em estrutura para o transporte intra-hospitalar, revelando preocupação dos profissionais em realizar um transporte seguro. Conclusão Os profissionais de enfermagem têm conhecimento sobre a segurança do paciente durante o transporte intra-hospitalar, porém, há a necessidade de protocolos institucionais e de capacitações para o manejo desta prática, com a finalidade de reduzir ocorrências de eventos adversos.

          ABSTRACT Objective To verify the perception of the nursing staff about patient´s safety during the intrahospital transport of patients in an intensive care unit. Method Qualitative, descriptive study with the participation of 21 nursing professionals who worked at the intensive care unit of a public hospital in the southern region of Brazil. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews, in November 2012, and analysed using Minayo’s content analysis. Results The results led to three main categories: responsibility of the health professional in intra-hospital transport; risk situation for the patient in intra-hospital transport; quality in the structure for intra-hospital transport, revealing the concern of professionals in providing safe transport. Conclusion Although the nursing professionals are aware of the patient safety during intra-hospital transport, there is a need for institutional protocols and training on this practice to reduce the incidence of adverse events.

          Recommendations for the intra-hospital transport of critically ill patients

          Introduction This study was conducted to provide Intensive Care Units and Emergency Departments with a set of practical procedures (check-lists) for managing critically-ill adult patients in order to avoid complications during intra-hospital transport (IHT). Methods Digital research was carried out via the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and HEALTHSTAR databases using the following key words: transferring, transport, intrahospital or intra-hospital, and critically ill patient. The reference bibliographies of each of the selected articles between 1998 and 2009 were also studied. Results This review focuses on the analysis and overcoming of IHT-related risks, the associated adverse events, and their nature and incidence. The suggested preventive measures are also reviewed. A check-list for quick execution of IHT is then put forward and justified. Conclusions Despite improvements in IHT practices, significant risks are still involved. Basic training, good clinical sense and a risk-benefit analysis are currently the only deciding factors. A critically ill patient, prepared and accompanied by an inexperienced team, is a risky combination. The development of adapted equipment and the widespread use of check-lists and proper training programmes would increase the safety of IHT and reduce the risks in the long-term. Further investigation is required in order to evaluate the protective role of such preventive measures.

            Adverse events during intrahospital transport of critically ill patients: incidence and risk factors

            Background Transport of critically ill patients for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures is at risk of complications. Adverse events during transport are common and may have significant consequences for the patient. The objective of the study was to collect prospectively adverse events that occurred during intrahospital transports of critically ill patients and to determine their risk factors. Methods This prospective, observational study of intrahospital transport of consecutively admitted patients with mechanical ventilation was conducted in a 38-bed intensive care unit in a university hospital from May 2009 to March 2010. Results Of 262 transports observed (184 patients), 120 (45.8%) were associated with adverse events. Risk factors were ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure >6 cmH2O, sedation before transport, and fluid loading for intrahospital transports. Within these intrahospital transports with adverse events, 68 (26% of all intrahospital transports) were associated with an adverse event affecting the patient. Identified risk factors were: positive end-expiratory pressure >6 cmH2O, and treatment modification before transport. In 44 cases (16.8% of all intrahospital transports), adverse event was considered serious for the patient. In our study, adverse events did not statistically increase ventilator-associated pneumonia, time spent on mechanical ventilation, or length of stay in the intensive care unit. Conclusions This study confirms that the intrahospital transports of critically ill patients leads to a significant number of adverse events. Although in our study adverse events have not had major consequences on the patient stay, efforts should be made to decrease their incidence.
