    AbstractThe objective of this study is to identify whether the current system of visits schedule and patient's information at a Clinical and Surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) satisfy the patient's visitors. To do it, two hundred questionnaires were distributed, during a month, and one hundred and sixty returned. The results showed that 70% of the visitors are satisfied with the current schedule; 67% come in daily; 66% are satisfied with the time they have for visiting, 54% asked for access in out of the current schedule, 69% are satisfied with staff information about patients; 88% of the visitors are patient's relatives. The most frequent suggestion was to increase the visit time at this ICU.
