Prevenção de eventos adversos no transporte intra-hospitalar da pessoa em situação crítica

Abstract

This report aims to demonstrate the path towards acquiring and developing specialized clinical skills within the scope of the Master's Degree in Medical-Surgical Nursing, in the specialization area of Person in Critical Condition, at the Institute of Health Sciences - Lisbon, of the Portuguese Catholic University. Nursing theorization using Merle Mischel's Uncertainty Theory was integrated as a guide to Nursing thinking in the development of excellent care. Throughout my clinical journey, I promoted the research results of care, addressing the phenomenon of continuous improvement in the quality and safety of the person in critical condition during intra-hospital transport, identifying factors that contribute to adverse events, in order to implement measures that anticipate and correct them. Thus, a scoping review was conducted to map the literature, based on the model recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute for data extraction. Safety is a fundamental element for the quality of care and health anywhere in the world and is considered a priority. To ensure safety in care, it is important to implement interventions that avoid, prevent, and improve the occurrence of adverse events that may harm the person's health in various dimensions. These adverse events can be irreversible, entail socio-economic costs, and increase the morbidity and mortality of the person. In complex situations such as the transport of people in critical condition, there is a greater tendency for adverse events to occur that, if properly anticipated, can be avoided and/or corrected. Thus, the adoption of preventive and corrective measures is crucial to ensure the safety of people undergoing transport and professionals involved in it. In order to integrate theoretical knowledge into specialized care, this report presents a grounded analysis and critical reflection of the process of acquiring, developing, and deepening common and specific competencies of the Nurse Specialist in Medical-Surgical Nursing, the Person in Critical Condition, and those necessary for obtaining a Master's degree in Nursing developed in two clinical contexts: Intensive Care Unit and in the pre-hospital emergency area.
