THỰC TRẠNG TUÂN THỦ AN TOÀN PHẪU THUẬT TẠI BỆNH VIỆN ĐA KHOA TỈNH TRÀ VINH NĂM 2024

Abstract

Background: Compliance with surgical safety aims to prevent errors that could harm patients throughout the surgical process. In Vietnam, studies have indicated that the rate of compliance with surgical safety protocols remains low. At Tra Vinh General Hospital, errors are still recorded, and the level of compliance with surgical safety requirements has not yet met the expected standards. Objectives: To describe the status of compliance with surgical safety procedures in the operating rooms of medical staff at Tra Vinh General Hospital in 2024. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study combined with quantitative research was conducted on 142 surgical cases in the operating rooms of Tra Vinh General Hospital from June to October 2024. Results: Most of the evaluated criteria in the stages of pre-anesthesia, pre-incision, and before the patient leaves the operating room were well complied with. However, some areas showed poor compliance rates, such as confirming patient concerns with the anesthesiologist (83.1%), checking equipment and instruments (79.6%), assessing the risk of blood loss over 500ml (68.3%), estimating blood loss (35.2%), administering prophylactic antibiotics within 60 minutes before surgery (19.7%), and labeling specimens (19.7%). Conclusion: The compliance rate for surgical safety at Tra Vinh General Hospital in 2024 was relatively low, at 19.4%. While most aspects demonstrated fairly good compliance, some areas, such as the administration of prophylactic antibiotics within 60 minutes before surgery and specimen labeling, had poor compliance rates.
