Objective: To characterize the prevalence and causes of suspension of elective surgeries considering clinical and non-clinical factors.
Method: Exploratory, retrospective, quantitative study. Data were collected in the electronic database of a public hospital in southern Brazil between
January 2018 and December 2019. The variables gender, age group, number of surgeries, medical specialty and reasons for suspending surgeries
were assessed, and a descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Results: Of the 11,792 (100.0%) scheduled surgeries, 2,170 (18.4%) were suspended.
The surgical specialties that most suspended surgeries were orthopedics (32.6%) and general surgery (19.0%), the main non-clinical factors
being: priority for urgency (21.5%), lack of vacancy in the intensive care unit (15.6%) and no attendance of the patient (13.6%). The main clinical
reason for surgical suspension was clinical unfavorable condition (8.7%). Conclusion: This study contributed to the assessment of quality indicators
related to the scheduling and suspension of surgical procedures in the Surgical Center, in addition to providing opportunities for the creation of clinic
continuous improvement.
