Strategies to ensure the critical patient safety
Abstract
Objective: Identify the strategies to guarantee the safety of the critically ill patient.
Method: Integrative review, whose search was carried out in May 2022 using the data sources: MEDLINE, SciELO, WOS, LILACS, Scopus and IBECS. The analysis and synthesis were built from the results found, seeking to group them by categories based on the similarity of content.
Results: 377 articles were found, then the inclusion criteria and exhaustive reading were applied, resulting in a sample of 13 articles. The results were classified into five categories: Prevention of pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation; Safety in the administration of management of medicines; Prevention of pressure injuries; Educational program oriented to patient safety in intensive care and; Reflections of the health team regarding safety culture.
Conclusions: This study contributes to comprehensively identify the various strategies whose results demonstrated a positive change in the prevention of adverse events and strengthening of safety in health care.
Keywords: Strategies. Guideline. Patient safety. Intensive care unit. Nurses
