Abstract

Objectives: To identify the surgical cancellation rate and to evaluate the factors that cause surgery cancellation. Methodology: Quantitative research conducted in the surgical centers of two large hospitals, one public and one private-public, in the Northeast of Brazil. The research was approved by the Ethics Committee, under Certificate of Presentation for Ethical Appraisal (CAAE) 46831515.6.0000.5013, and data collection was performed through the electronic database of the hospitals. Results: From January 2014 to December 2015, in the public-private hospital, 20,810 surgeries were scheduled and 4,815 were suspended, with a surgical suspension rate of 23.3%. In the public hospital, 6,392 surgeries were scheduled and 2,702 suspended, with a suspension rate of 42.7%. The main suspension factors were related to patients and administrative aspects. Conclusion: It was possible to identify increased incidence of surgical cancellations over the years, showing considerable suspension rates. Thus, institutions need to seek strategies to minimize the incidence of cancellations of anesthetic-surgical procedures in health institutions.
