Abstract
Background and objective

Once the WHO generic surgical checklist has been standardized and following the itinerary proposed, it is up to the different specialties to continue advancing in the improvement and adjustment of the checklists to the procedures and interventions in their field.

Methods

Through a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) in which professionals from the surgical area of ​​the Torrecárdenas University Hospital, Jaén Hospital Complex and Gregorio Marañón General University Hospital participated, aspects that could condition patient safety in the surgery of the brain tumors and that are not included in the WHO generic surgical checklist were recognized. The three authors gave a score between 1 and 5 to each of the proposed items incrementally depending on the degree of suitability. Based on the score obtained, they selected those who would be incorporated into the specific surgical checklist.

Results

A total of 24 candidate items were identified to be included in the specific check list. These obtained scores between 14 and 10 points. After this weighting, it was decided to include the 12 best-rated items in the final surgical checklist, six of them in the initial phase, three in the phase prior to the incision and another three in the final part of the checklist prior to the completion of the procedure.

Conclusions

Professionals in the surgical area of ​​Neurosurgery can identify aspects not included in the generic checklist whose non-compliance can condition the patient's safety at least to the same extent as those included in the generic list.

It is possible to propose a specific complementary checklist for brain tumor surgery, in charge of collecting aspects related to the safety and success of these procedures.

Resumen
Antecedentes y objetivo

Una vez estandarizado el listado de verificación quirúrgica genérico de la OMS y siguiendo el itinerario propuesto por dicha organización, corresponde a las diferentes especialidades y superespecialidades el seguir avanzando en el perfeccionamiento y ajuste de los listados de verificación a los procedimientos e intervenciones de su ámbito

Métodos

Mediante un Análisis Modal de Fallos y Efectos (AMFE) en el que participaron profesionales del área quirúrgica del Hospital Universitario Torrecárdenas, Complejo Hospitalario de Jaén y Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón, se propusieron aspectos que podrían condicionar la seguridad del paciente en la cirugía de los tumores cerebrales y que no se encuentran recogidos en el listado de verificación quirúrgica genérico de la OMS. Los tres autores otorgaron una puntuación entre 1 y 5 a cada uno de los ítems propuestos de forma incremental en función del grado de idoneidad. En base a la puntuación obtenida seleccionaron aquellos que habrían de ser incorporados al listado de verificación quirúrgica específico.

Resultados

Fueron identificados un total de 24 ítems candidatos a ser incluidos en el check list específico. Estos obtuvieron calificaciones situadas entre los 14 y 10 puntos. Tras esta ponderación se decidió incluir los 12 ítems mejor valorados en el listado de verificación quirúrgica definitivo, seis de ellos en la fase inicial, tres en la fase previa a la incisión y otros tres en la parte final del check list previa a la finalización del procedimiento.

Conclusiones

Los profesionales del área quirúrgica de Neurocirugía pueden identificar aspectos no incluidos en el check list genérico cuyo no cumplimiento puede condicionar la seguridad del paciente al menos en la misma medida que aquellos incluidos en el listado genérico.

Es posible proponer un listado de verificación complementario específico para la cirugía de los tumores cerebrales, encargado de recoger aspectos relacionados con las seguridad y el éxito en estos procedimientos.
