Item Responsabilidad médica de los Instrumentadores Quirúrgicos por el indebido diligenciamiento de la lista de chequeo en el acto quirúrgico – Revisión narrativa(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Pérez Lenis, Vilma EugeniaEnsuring patient safety is a priority; to guarantee it, today we can count on tools such as the WHO Surgical Checklist and on professionals such as surgical instruments, who recognize the importance of its implementation. The problem is that, in a general way, this has been undervalued and partially or totally omitted, in some countries. Objective: to identify the medical responsibility of the surgical instrument for the improper completion of the checklist in the surgical act and, complemented with the application of the checklist (hereinafter CL) associated with the reduction of surgical complications and the participation of the Surgical Instrumentator at the time of application of the checklist. Methodology: a literature review was carried out, with a qualitative approach and hermeneutical analysis. Various terms related to checklist or verification were considered, with a search in PUBMED, SCIELO and Google Scholar; complemented with a manual search of references and national rulings or regulations, published between 2008-2023. Results: A total of 28 documents were found that allowed identifying mortality as the main decreased surgical complication, surgical site infection, total complications and mortality; there are few documents found that indicate the professional in charge of completing the CL, but the work of the nurses and the surgical instrument stand out. Regarding the sentences, four were found through the VLex page of the Supreme Court of Justice. Conclusion: the WHO checklist is a provenly useful tool worldwide to guarantee the general success of surgical procedures and, in addition, as a legal tool in medical liability events in which healthcare professionals, including surgical instrumentators, may be involved.
