Abstrakt: Objective: To analyze the occurrence of adverse events associated to the use of equipment and materials in nursing care.
Method: Quantitative, descriptive study, using the electronic records of adverse events notifications in an accredited hospital.
Results: A total of 1,065 adverse events were reported, of which 180 (16.9%) were related to the use of equipment and materials. The most frequent events were: loss of feeding tube (45.0%), loss of central venous catheter (15.5%), skin injury (10.5%) and accidental extubation (10.0%). The main causes and immediate actions recorded were: loss of feeding tube - removal of the tube by the patient (53.1%) and reinsertion of the device (83.9%); loss of central venous catheter - agitated or disoriented patient (32.1%) and insertion of peripheral venous catheter (46.2%); skin injury - agitated or disoriented patient (26.3%) and application of occlusive dressing (73.7%); and accidental extubation - weaning from sedation, disconnected sedation or inadequate doses of sedation (50.0%) and reintubation (50.0%). The degrees of harm were: mild (23.3%), severe (62.2%), very severe (13.9%) and extremely severe (0.6%).
Conclusion: The investigation of the occurrence of adverse events related to the use of equipment and materials in care can prevent and minimize harm to the patient.
