Popis: The main objective of our study is to determine if the implementation of an HIT protocol modifies the annual rate of incidents related to patient safety. The secondary objectives are, firstly, to classify the identified events, secondly to analyze the factors that are associated with the presence of said adverse events and finally to analyze the degree of monitoring of the protocol.Retrospective descriptive analysis that included patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit who required HIT between 2009 and 2018. A multidisciplinary protocol was developed and the incidents were classified according to the severity and type of events.We included 1662 transfers. The total number of transfers with incidents was 153 (9.2%) in which 189 incidents were registered, of which 17 (9%) were described as adverse events (AD), while 172 (91%) were classified as Incidents without Damage (IsD). The clinical incidents were the most frequent (70.37%). In the multivariate analysis we found as associated factors cardiac arrhythmias (OR: 2.88 [IQR 2.01-4.12]), history of stroke (OR 1.72 [IQR 1.06-2.78]) and anemia (OR 1.55 [IQR 1.02-2.37]) The rate of safety-related incidents was less over time as adherence to protocol compliance increased.The implementation of a critical patient transport protocol and its application through checklists allows to reduce both the incidence of adverse events in these patients and of Incidents without Damage.
