Abstract

To evaluate the effectiveness of using the checklist as a standard checking tool to verify the operation and structure of optical and fiber optic cables used in Iaparoscopic procedures and examine whether, when deploying the checklist, there was areduction in the number of damaged optics. Method: This is an experimental study that compared the samples measured in the September 2009 to January 2010 period (before implementation of the check-list) and from February to June 2010 period (after implementation of the checklist). Results: During the study period there were 1219 Iaparoscopic surgical procedures, being 473 before and 746 after the implementation of the checklist. After the implementation of the checklist, there was a reduction of 50% of the median number of damaged optics and 56.3% of average monthly expenses for repairs and replacement optics. Conclusion: It was verified a reduction of damaged optics and the monthly expenses average for repairs and replacement of optics suggesting the effectiveness of the checklist. The instrument allowed the standardization of the process of identifying the integrity and image quality of optical and fiber optic cable, as well as the training of nursing staff and clinical engineering involved.
