Objectives:To assess the results of implementing the surgical safety checklist and to identify some factors associated with the complete implementation of the surgical safety checklist.
Methods:A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 152 surgical and procedural cases performed at the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Military Hospital 17, from January 2024 to June 2024.
Results:The rate of surgical and procedural cases using the surgical safety checklist was 100%. The proportion of surgical safety checklists meeting the required standards was 73.0%. There was no difference between the type of surgery and checklist implementation (p > 0.05). In contrast, statistically significant differences were found between surgical specialty, anesthesia method, and surgical classification, and the checklist implementation results (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:The proportion of checklists meeting the required standards remains suboptimal. Several factors, including surgical specialty, anesthesia method, and type of surgery, can affect the results of the checklist. The hospital should strengthen periodic training, standardize the responsibilities of surgical team members, and develop simplified checklists for minimally invasive surgeries and procedures to improve checklist performance.
