Eventos adversos mais incidentes durante a internação na unidade de terapia intensiva: revisão de escopo

Abstract

Objective: To map in the literature the most incident adverse events in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. Method: Scoping review, following the PRISMA checklist. Search was carried out in eight data sources in April 2024. Results: 2.016 publications were found and 15 were selected after applying the eligibility criteria. The studies indicated that the most incident adverse events were those related to the clinical process/procedure and medication errors, furthermore, also showed which infections related to health care and associated with invasive devices are the most incident in ICUs. Conclusion: It is important to give attention to all existing adverse events, but especially the most incident ones so that it is possible to outline mitigation strategies and implement a safety culture in healthcare.
