ABSTRACT: Objective: To analyze the incidence of adverse events related to gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. Method: Multiple case study in Type III gastrointestinal endoscopy outpatient services, in the city of Salvador, Bahia, analyzing: Patient Safety Centers (Núcleos de Segurança do Paciente – NSP); adverse events and endoscopic decontamination. Results: 28.5% of the gastrointestinal endoscopy outpatient services in the city participated in the study. There are NSPs, which work according to Patient Safety Plans, but without a dedicated professional. Only one service monitors patients after endoscopy, which makes it difficult to identify adverse effects after procedures in these organizations. Basic patient safety protocols exist in most services. The total incidence of adverse effects is 0.3%; and 0.8% for upper digestive endoscopy and colonoscopies. Bacteremia, abdominal pain, bleeding, and intestinal perforation are the most frequent damages. All services have a good organofunctional structure for cleaning and disinfecting endoscopes. Conclusion: The services have NSPs and implement recommended safety protocols. The adverse effects identified are in line with the literature; however, these data may be underreported, since these services do not have an active surveillance system for adverse events after endoscopic examinations.
