Consideraciones acerca del informe operatorio

El informe operatorio es un documento oficial que forma parte indispensable de la historia clínica. A pesar de que se le atribuyen funciones médicas (asistencial, docente e investigativa), legal y administrativas, con frecuencia no cumple las especificidades requeridas en la redacción. El permanente y continuo mejoramiento del desempeño profesional de los cirujanos demanda el rescate de las especificidades para la confección de tan importante documento. Es considerada una habilidad profesional específica de los médicos de las especialidades quirúrgicas, al ser parte de la práctica quirúrgica habitual e incluye aspectos cuantitativos (formales y sustanciales) y cualitativos (contenido informativo), de obligatorio cumplimiento por especialistas y residentes en formación. Constituye una responsabilidad individual que debe ser controlada por directivos y docentes de cada servicio quirúrgico. Este trabajo expresa la posición de la autora sobre el necesario rescate de la calidad de la confección del informe operatorio como parte indispensable de la seguridad del enfermo quirúrgico.

The operation note is an official document that is an indispensable part of the clinical history. Despite the fact that medical (care, teaching and investigative), legal and administrative functions are attributed to it, it frequently does not meet the specificities required in the wording. The permanent and continuous improvement of the professional performance of surgeons demands the rescue of the specificities for the preparation of such an important document. It is considered a specific professional skill for physicians in surgical specialties, as it is part of routine surgical practice and includes quantitative (formal and substantial) and qualitative (informational content) aspects, of mandatory compliance by specialists and residents in training. It constitutes an individual responsibility that must be controlled by directors and teachers of each surgical service. This work expresses the author's position on the necessary rescue of the quality of the preparation of the operation note as an essential part of the safety of the surgical patient.

This study aimed to evaluate the peri-anesthetic care provided by the anesthesia service in an ambulatory surgery unit using the Heidelberg Peri-anaesthetic Questionnaire. Methods: This cross-sectional study used the Heidelberg Peri-anaesthetic Questionnaire to evaluate 1211 patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. We selected questions that showed a greater degree of dissatisfaction and correlated them with patient characterization data (age, sex, education, and ASA physical status), anesthesia data (type, time, and prior experience), and surgical specialty. Results: Questions in which patients tended to show dissatisfaction involved fear of anesthesia and surgery, feeling cold, the urgent need to urinate, pain at the surgical site, and the team's level of concern and speed of response in relieving the patient's pain. Conclusion: The Heidelberg Peri-anaesthetic Questionnaire proved to be a useful tool in identifying points of dissatisfaction, mainly fear of anesthesia and surgery, feeling cold, the urgent need to urinate, pain at the surgical site, and the team's level of concern and speed of response in relieving the patient's pain in the population studied. These were correlated with patient, anesthesia, and surgical variables. This allows the establishment of priorities at the different points of care, with the ultimate goal of improving patient satisfaction regarding anesthesia care.
