Abstract

Objective: Investigate the incidence and causes of surgical suspensions in a Surgical Center unit of a medium-sized public hospital located in the Federal District. Methodology: This is a retrospective, descriptive and quantitative research carried out from the electronic medical records of patients and hospital records. Results: Of the 1,197 elective surgeries scheduled from January to July 2019, 235 were canceled, totaling a surgical suspension rate of 19.6%. The main reason for suspension was related to the patient (37.4%), such as unfavorable clinical conditions and non-attendance. Conclusion: The incidence of surgical suspension in the study hospital is similar to the rate reported in other studies in public hospitals. To avoid unnecessary cancellations, it is necessary to continuously monitor the incidence and reasons for surgical suspensions as an important quality indicator.
