Observational Study[Analysis of adverse events associated with interhospital transfer of critically ill patients. Safety checklist].
Mobilization entails a risk for critically ill patients. It is therefore important to design and apply the tools to detect any safety lapses and to improve the quality of patient healthcare. ⋯ Before each hospital transfer, a risk-benefit assessment is recommended in order to avoid potential alterations in the patient's pathophysiologic condition. Both the protocol and the safety checklist are key to detect underlying factors and improve security during interhospital transfers.

summary -
The World Health Organization (WHO) launched the Safe Surgery Saves Lives campaign in 2007 to improve safety of surgical care in the world. As a part of the campaign, the first edition of the Surgical Safety Checklist was created through an international consultative process in 2008 and the second edition was published in the WHO Guidelines for Safe Surgery 2009. ⋯ In this article we gave an outline of WHO Surgical Safety Checklist and WHO Guidelines for Safe Surgery 2009, and reviewed the evidence of the guidelines and checklist. Finally we presented the evidence indicating the efficacy of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, which included the pilot study attached in the guidelines showing that its use markedly decreased complications in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery in eight diverse international hospitals.
