Abstract

Objective: to create an instrument for effective communication between the operating room and the intensive care unit during shift handover. Method: a descriptive study aiming to create a print form in four phases: group brainstorming; manufacture of the printed form; pilot test; reformulation of information and completion of the print. Results: elaboration of a form with information about the preoperative (background, clinical and surgical history), intraoperative (complications, transfusion information, antibiotic prophylaxis, difficult intubation) and postoperative (condition of the airways, drains, catheters, bandages, measures to prevent thrombosis, analgesia, transportation) phases. Conclusion: the form provided safety and facility regarding information transfer to the destination unit and facilitated the planning of nursing care, being well accepted by the members of both teams.
