Abstract

The administration and management of a surgical center are part of the duties of nurses in this unit, and these professionals are responsible for providing equipment and materials in order to improve working conditions during the surgical process. Suspension of surgery is an important indicator in the management of a surgical center, which should be the target of attention. This research aims to answer the following question: What are the main causes of surgery suspension and what is the incidence of these cancellations? Understanding this event is essential to minimize public expenses and strain on patients and families. This is a retrospective descriptive study with a quantitative approach with the main objective of investigating the incidence and main causes of surgical suspensions in a Surgical Center (SC) of a medium-sized public hospital located in the Federal District. The data collection period will be in the months of November and December 2020 and data from elective surgeries performed from January to December 2020 will be collected.
