A dissertation submitted to the University of Witwatersrand in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Medicine Speciality Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Johannesburg, 2013 / Wireless communicating networks are becoming more and more utilized. By using Short Message Service (SMS) via mobile phones, patients can be contacted regarding blood results, follow-up appointments and reminders for chronic medication.In this study the use of SMS was put to the test in South Africa, a middle income country. Objectives: 1. To evaluate whether there is better compliance in patients who received a SMS, reminding them of the date of elective surgery, as opposed to patients who did not receive a reminder SMS. 2. To describe demographic and clinical information of women who are booked forelective gynaecological surgery at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital Methods: This study was undertaken at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, which offers a gynaecological elective surgery list on every working day.As with any busy hospital, it is not uncommon for women to wait lengthy periods of time for their surgery Participants were recruited and followed-up between 30th May 2011 and 14th of December 2011. Eligible criteria included all women scheduled to undergo surgery with a waiting list of at least one month. Women who did not have mobile phones and women who objected to receiving SMS communications from the researcher on their mobile phones were excluded. Participants less than 18yrs, inability to read English SMS and refusal to participate in the trail were excluded. This was a double-blinded randomized controlled trial, which assessed the impact of a reminder SMS, in addition to the traditional methods of ensuring return for gynaecological surgery on patients remembering to avail themselves for surgery on their specific date. These numbers were randomized by block randomization into intervention group and control group. The Research Randomiser Form v4.0 program was used. Twenty nine patients were randomized to the intervention group who received a reminder SMS and 29 patients to the control group who did not receive the reminder SMS. Only patients with personal cell phones were included in the study. The participants as well as the researcher were blinded and only the supervisor knew who of the participants were randomised in either group. Results: A total of 58 patients were enrolled in this study. Participants included in the study were allocated numbers. The study showed that even though the shortest waiting period was < 2 months and the longest >5 months there was no significant difference in the number of patients that returned for surgery (53% versus 47%). Most of the patients in this study were African, unemployed and agesranged from 17 – 78 years. The primary reasons for their return in order of frequency were the presence of a mass (60%), pain (59%) and bleeding (36%). One of the major findings of this study was that older patients tended not to return for surgery. Surprisingly, patients who waited longer from the time of booking of surgery to the date of surgery, tended to return more frequently. The main reasons for not returning were that patients did not have money for transport and four patients were unreachable and hence lost to follow-up. Conclusion: This study failed to show that reminders by SMS for elective gynaecological surgery are effective. It also demonstrated that older women were more likely not to return for surgery. Perhaps their ability to read or respond to SMS is more limited than younger women. The other significant finding of this study contrary to expectation is that longer waiting periods seemed to encourage a better return rate.

Introduktion: Hypotermi är en av de vanligaste komplikationerna till anestesi. Konsekvenserna av hypotermi är bland annat rubbningar på koagulationen med ökad blödningsrisk, sårinfektioner och kardiella komplikationer. Patienter har beskrivit hypotermi som den värsta upplevelsen under sjukhusvistelsen och värderar det högre än den kirurgiska smärtan. Syfte: Att beskriva anestesisjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att förebygga hypotermi i samband med anestesi Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ ansats. Tio anestesisjuksköterskor, verksamma på en operationsavdelning i Västra Götalands län och Region Västernorrland medverkade i studien. Sjukhusen som inkluderades i studien liknade varandra till storlek och i vilken typ av ingrepp som utfördes där. Kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer användes för att samla data och intervjuerna analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i tre kategorier och visar att förebyggandet av hypotermi är viktigt enligt anestesisjuksköterskor och att medvetenheten kring hypotermi och hur det förebyggs har ökat. Samtidigt beskrevs att mer skulle kunna göras. Anestesisjuksköterskorna upplevde att det finns bra rutiner som ökar tryggheten i förebyggandet av hypotermi. Det beskrevs dock som svårt att hinna hålla sig uppdaterad och vara på framkant i det senaste kring forskning. För att öka förutsättningarna och för att kunna vidareutveckla personalgruppen, i hypotermiförebyggande åtgärder, behövs ett ansvarsområde kring hypotermi. Slutsats: Kunskap, erfarenhet, forskning och samarbete i operationslaget är grundläggande förutsättningar för att hypotermi ska förebyggas på bästa sätt. Anestesisjuksköterskorna upplever inte hypotermi som något vardagsproblem, men menar att mer skulle kunna göras. Det behövs mer forskning på hur stor nytta ett särskilt ansvarsområde inom hypotermiprevention skulle utgöra. / Background: Hypothermia is one of the most common complications of anesthesia. The consequences of hypothermia include disorders of coagulation with increased risk of bleeding, wound infections and cardiac complications. Patients have described hypothermia as the worst experience during hospitalization and value it higher than the surgical pain. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the anesthesia nurse's experience in preventing hypothermia associated with anesthesia. Method: The study has a qualitative approach. Ten anesthesia nurses, active in an operations department in Västra Götaland county and the region of Västernorrland, participated in the study. The hospitals included in the study were similar in size and what type of surgery performed there. Qualitative semi- structured interviews were used to gather data and the interviews were analyzed with a qualitative content analysis. Results: The analysis resulted in three categories and shows that prevention of hypothermia is important according to the anesthesia nurses and that awareness about hypothermia and its prevention has increased. At the same time, it was described that more could be done. The anesthetic nurses felt that there are good practices that increase safety in the prevention of hypothermia. However, it was described as difficult to keep themselves up to date of the latest research. In order to increase the prerequisites and to further develop the staff group, in hypothermia prevention, a person responsible for hypothermia prevention is needed. Conclusion: Knowledge, experience, research and collaboration in the operations team are fundamental factors for preventing hypothermia in the patient, in the best possible way. The anesthetic nurses do not experience hypothermia as a daily problem but mean that more could be done, within that area. More research is needed regarding the usefulness of a person responsible for hypothermia prevention would represent.

A melhora das condições de assistência ambulatorial e médico-hospitalar, neste contexto, envolve a capacitação do capital humano, isto é, treinamento e formação de profissionais, e alocação de recursos para insumos e infraestrutura. Dadas às limitações econômicas e técnicas do continente, essas ações costumam ser viabilizadas por ações cooperativas entre governos e instituições locais e estrangeiras. No Hospital Central de Maputo (HCM), em cooperação com o Ministério da Saúde de Moçambique (MSM), a Unicamp desenvolveu um projeto de pesquisa visando à identificação de necessidades de infraestrutura hospitalar e capacitação profissional com vistas a melhorar as taxas de infecção hospitalar e a qualidade à assistência em geral. Objetivo: 1) avaliar as ações executadas desde 2008 pelo MSM, junto com outros organismos multinacionais, na Enfermaria de Cirurgia (EC) do HCM, com vistas à humanização e correção de deficiências primárias de infraestrutura e capacitação profissional; e 2) avaliar fatores relacionados às taxas de infecção hospitalar em pacientes internados na EC e elaborar um plano de controle de infecção hospitalar aplicável e exequível segundo as condições locais. Métodos: Na primeira parte do estudo (referente ao objetivo 1), relatamos o processo de melhorias implementadas na EC a partir da aplicação de um Instrumento de Avaliação de Desempenho (IAD), desenvolvido em colaboração com o MSM, cujas funções eram determinar as necessidades de recursos humanos, organização em serviço, segurança do paciente e satisfação da equipe profissional. O IAD também determinava 83 metas, relacionadas aqueles aspectos mencionados. Este instrumento foi inicialmente utilizado em 2009, e a partir dos resultados obtidos foram delineadas e implantadas intervenções voltadas à correção das limitações do serviço. A partir de então, o IAD permaneceu em uso contínuo pelos profissionais da EC e os resultados obtidos subsequentemente são relatados e comentados nesta tese. A segunda parte do estudo (referente ao objetivo 2) trata das duas primeiras de três fases de um estudo de intervenção, desenhado para 1) determinar a taxa de infecção hospitalar (IH) e suas características na Enfermaria de Cirurgia; 2) propor um plano de controle de IH (PCIH) baseado nos achados de 1). A fase 3, que visa a implantação do PCIH e a avaliação de seus resultados, será realizada posteriormente. Resultados: Em janeiro de 2009, na primeira aplicação do IAD, 49% das metas preconizadas já eram atingidas pela EC; após ações baseadas nos resultados da primeira aplicação do IAD, em junho e setembro de 2009, 88% e 90% das metas haviam sido atingidas, respectivamente. Foram detectadas melhoras substanciais nas práticas de enfermagem, níveis de satisfação de pacientes e estudantes, higienização do ambiente hospitalar e organização do serviço. Em 2011, teve início a segunda parte do estudo, referente à infecção hospitalar na EC. A taxa de IH foi estabelecida em 16.6% e esteve associada ao maior tempo de internação dos pacientes e à menor utilização de artigos hospitalares críticos (agulhas, sondas, bisturis, entre outros). Foi desenvolvido um plano de controle de infecção hospitalar que aborda a melhoria do treinamento de profissionais médicos e não médicos para os fatores associados à IH. Conclusões: A intervenção baseada na elaboração e aplicação o IAD permitiu a melhoria de indicadores de qualidade e satisfação em uma Enfermaria de Cirurgia de um hospital moçambicano, e a taxa de infecção na Enfermaria de Cirurgia do HCM pode ser reduzida com intervenções voltadas a redução do tempo de hospitalização e maior investimento em artigos hospitalares críticos / Abstract: Introduction: The economic and social conditions found in most of sub- Saharan Africa are reflected in the quality of health care. The improvement of the conditions of outpatient care and healthcare in this context involves the training of human capital, ie, education and training of professionals, and resource allocation to inputs and infrastructure. Given the economic and technical limitations of the continent, these actions are often made possible by cooperative actions between governments, local and foreign intuitions. In Maputo Central Hospital (HCM), in cooperation with the Ministry of Health of Mozambique (MSM), Unicamp developed a research project aimed at identifying basic needs of hospital infrastructure and professional training in order to decrease hospital infection rates and quality of care in general. Objective: 1) to evaluate actions taken since 2008 by the MSM, along with other international organizations in surgery ward (EC) HCM, to improve humanization and correction of deficiencies related to infrastructure and job training, and 2) to evaluate essential aspects related to hospital infection rates in patients hospitalized at EC and develop a plan for hospital infection control applicable and enforceable according to local conditions. Methods: In the first part of the study (for the purpose of 1), we report the improvement process implemented in EC from the application of a Performance Assessment (PA), developed in collaboration with the MSM, whose duties were to determine the needs of human resources, service organization, patient safety and satisfaction of professional staff. The PA also determined 83 goals, related to those aspects. This instrument was first used in 2009, and from the results obtained was outlined and implemented interventions that aimed at correcting the limitations of the service. Since then, the PA remained in continuous use by professional EC and results are reported and discussed in this thesis. The second part of the study (related to objective 2) addresses the first two of three phases of an intervention study designed to 1) investigate the rate of nosocomial infection (NI) and their characteristics in MS, 2) propose a control plan IH (HICP) based on the findings of 1) Phase 3, which aims to set the HICP and the evaluation of its results, will be held later. Results: In January 2009, the first application of the IAD, 49% of the recommended goals were already stricken ECII; following actions based on the results of the first application of the IAD in June and September 2009, 88% and 90% of the targets had been reached, respectively. We detected substantial improvements in nursing practice, levels of satisfaction of patients and students, hygienic cleaning and service organization. In 2011 began the second part of the study, referring to nosocomial infection in EC. The rate of NI was established in 16.6% and was associated with longer hospital patients staying and less use of hospital critical items (needles, probes, scalpels, etc.). A plan was developed for hospital infection control that addresses the improvement of the training of medical professionals and decrease of nonmedical factors associated with IH. Conclusions: The intervention based on development and implementation PA allowed the improvement of quality indicators and satisfaction in a general ward of a hospital Mozambique, and the rate of infection in the General Infirmary HCM, can be reduced with interventions aimed at reducing the time hospitalization and greater investment in hospital critical articles / Doutorado / Oncologia Ginecológica e Mamária / Doutora em Ciências da Saúde

Occupation of a general nurse belongs to demanding jobs in terms of professional preparation and performance. A nurse is expected to cope with professional activity, working with modern technology, administrative work, to bear the physical and mental load of her profession, to be able to influence and direct patients? feelings and behaviour and finally to be able to cope with professional as well as family problems she is faced to. All this is often dealt with in continuous operation on shift basis at various specialized workplaces. Questions how nurses working at a cardiac surgery department are satisfied or dissatisfied at their jobs, how the work experience length affects their satisfaction, whether possible discontent among nurses may affect quality of the nursing services provided by them and how the hospital management reduces the factors of discontent, became the subject of my thesis. The research was performed at the IKEM in Prague. Quantitative as well as qualitative research methods were used for data collection when mapping the problems in question. The quantitative part involved a questionnaire both, for general nurses working at the cardiac surgery department, aimed at investigation into the discontent factors involved in their occupation, and for the patients undertaking treatment at the cardiac surgery department, to examine their satisfaction with the nursing care. Analysis of the collected data was then performed. An interview with representatives of the hospital line, middle and top managements was the instrument of the qualitative research. It was focused on the question how they proceed in elimination or reduction the discontent factors. The following facts were found out by the quantitative research. Increased physical and mental load, non-cooperating patients and care about more patients at the same time, extensive administration related to patient care, insufficient remuneration, lack of communication from doctors and superiors, lack of auxiliary staff, projection of occupation to private life or the problem of sleeping after a night shift are the most frequent discontent factors. Despite the above negative factors nurses are satisfied with their jobs regardless the length of experience. The indentified factors of discontent do not affect quality of the care provided by the nurses. The qualitative research results show that personal talks, active interviews and direct communication from the staff are the most frequent methods the management uses to map staff satisfaction. The management representative is able to work herself on elimination or reduction of the discovered factors of discontent within her competences, which happens most often. She may also cooperate with the chief nurses or ward sisters. Unless she is able to solve a problem, it is passed to the authorized persons competent to deal with it (health care manager, social-legal department, HR department). The hospital director is also informed on the most serious cases. The management hardly ever cooperates with physicians on elimination or reduction of the discontent factors. The most important aspect of solving the problem of discontent factors is its subject, which affects the solution method, whether it is to be dealt with by an individual or the whole team. They inform the head physicians or the ward chief consultant on serious problems. The course of the problem solution is communicated to the employees by the ward sisters or chief nurses personally, orally.The goals of the thesis have been met, the set hypotheses have been refuted, and the research questions have been answered.

Introduktion: Anestesiverksamhet betraktas enligt Socialstyrelsen som en högriskspecialitet med avseende på patientsäkerhet. Varje år skapar vårdrelaterade infektioner onödigt lidande för patienter, förlänger vårdtider och kostar samhället enorma summor. Med en god och säker vård med hög kvalitet kan anestesisjuksköterskor förbättra säkerhetsarbetet för patienten. Syfte: Att beskriva anestesisjuksköterskors erfarenheter av faktorer som påverkar följsamheten till basala hygienrutiner i samband med anestesiinduktion. Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ ansats. Åtta anestesisjuksköterskor från tre olika sjukhus i Sverige medverkade i studien. Data samlades in med kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer och intervjuerna analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i fem huvudfaktorer: Stress och tidsbrist vid akuta situationer, operationssalens fysiska miljö, dåliga vanor, bristande feedback och patientens psykiska tillstånd. Slutsats: Det som framkom i studien var att hygienen brister av anledningar som går att förhindra och förbättra. För att motverka bristande hygienrutiner måste alla inom anestesiverksamheten arbeta tillsammans med hjälp av god kommunikation samt mot ett gemensamt mål. Anestesiverksamheten borde se dessa faktorer som en utav de mest primära och ha mer öppna dialoger tillsammans med medarbetarna för att identifiera liknande problem. / Introduction: Anesthetic healthcare are considered according to the National Board of Health and Welfare as a high risk specialist in patient safety. Health related infections create unnecessary suffering for patients, prolongs care times and cost the community huge amounts of money. With a good and safe healthcare of high quality, anesthetic nurses can improve the safety work for the patient. Aim: To highlight the anesthesia nurses experience of the factors that affects the compliance with basic hygiene routines associated with anesthesia induction. Method: The study has a qualitative approach. Eight anesthesia nurses from three different hospitals in Sweden participated in the study. Data was collected using qualitative semi-structured interviews and the interviews were analyzed with qualitative content analysis. Results: The analysis resulted in five main factors: stress and lack of time in acute situations, physical environment of the operating room, bad habits, lack of feedback and patients mental condition. Conclusion: The study found that hygiene is lacking for reasons that can be prevented and improved. In order to counter the lack of hygiene routines, all within the anesthetic healthcare units must work together with the help of good communication and towards a common goal. Anesthetic healthcare units should consider these factors as one of the most primary and have more open dialogues with employees to identify similar issues.

Proposta: O hospital é parte integrante de um sistema coordenado de saúde, cuja função é a prestação de serviços. Os administradores hospitalares preocupam-se em obter o menor custo possível e maximizar a qualidade. Como o custo hospitalar tem uma parcela importante representada pelo consumo de materiais e medicamentos, sendo a farmácia o setor responsável pelo controle, estoque e dispensação, o profissional farmacêutico tem-se aprimorado profissionalmente e desenvolvido pesquisas e estudos, para reformular suas atividades básicas e retomar algumas funções primárias como a farmacoeconomia, a fim de adequar-se as novas exigências. É relevante neste contexto o sistema de distribuição de medicamentos, que se iniciou com a dose coletiva, cujos principais problemas era o aumento do potencial de erros de medicação, as perdas econômicas decorrentes da falta de controles, e o tempo excessivo gasto pela enfermagem para separar a medicação, em vez de dar assistência aos pacientes. Depois avançou para dose individualizada, que além de minimizar e/ou extinguir todas as desvantagens da dose coletiva, apresentava um controle mais efetivo do consumo dos medicamentos, aumentando a integração do farmacêutico com a equipe de saúde, sendo sua principal desvantagem, o aumento das necessidades de recursos humanos e infra-estrutura da Farmácia Hospitalar. E por último a dose unitária, originada da dose individualizada, que tem como principais objetivos racionalizar a terapêutica, diminuir custos sem reduzir a qualidade da dispensação; e garantir que os medicamentos prescritos cheguem ao paciente de forma segura e higiênica, assegurando a eficácia do esquema terapêutico prescrito. Após associar os conceitos descritos acima, a farmácia do Centro Cirúrgico do Instituto Central do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da USP propôs-se a identificar o elenco representativo de produtos, e utilizar estes grupos de medicamentos, na elaboração, ampliação, e experimentação do sistema de dispensação de kit. Esta nova alternativa pretende atingir como os dois principais benefícios a melhor utilização de recursos econômicos e a elevação da qualidade de assistência prestada ao paciente e equipe multiprofissional. Método: O método de pesquisa utilizado foi um estudo de caso qualitativo/quantitativo, sendo o mesmo realizado no Centro Cirúrgico do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, no período de 12/05/2002 a 22/07/2002. Foram escolhidas como amostra as dez salas do bloco III, onde pudemos acompanhar procedimentos de médio e grande porte de determinadas especialidades médicocirúrgicas. O estudo foi dividido em três etapas, sendo as duas primeiras experimentais, e a terceira apenas de análise e interpretação dos achados. Foi realizado o mapeamento do elenco de medicamentos disponibilizado (seja nos carrinhos de drogas, nos kits e nas solicitações extra) e o levantamento do consumo de três dias de funcionamento de cada sala cirúrgica do Bloco III, nas duas etapas experimentais. Na primeira etapa - pré kit - o levantamento foi realizado através da verificação do elenco e das quantidades contidas nos carros de parada e anestesia de cada uma das salas, às 06h30min da manhã antes do início das cirurgias e no final da tarde após o término da última, assim, delimitando o consumo/dia/sala. Estes levantamentos eram feitos em dias aleatórios para não induzir a equipe médica ou a enfermagem em modificar seu consumo. Na segunda etapa - pós kit - realizou-se o levantamento dentro da unidade farmacêutica através da análise dos documentos de dispensação do kit e notas de débito, onde estavam relacionadas as quantidades de medicamentos utilizadas e solicitadas pela auxiliar de enfermagem durante a cirurgia. A confirmação desta documentação era feita através da conferencia do kit e devolução de medicamentos extra. Os carros de medicamentos não estavam mais sendo utilizados, apenas os kits e os medicamentos extra, que pela rotina estabelecida deviam ser devolvidos após o término de cada cirurgia, não permanecendo nada em sala entre uma cirurgia e outra. Após o fechamento dos dois levantamentos pré e pósimplantação do kit procedeu-se às seguintes análises dos resultados: Comparação do consumo de medicamentos por sala/dia; Relação de preço de cada medicamento utilizado; Cálculo do valor total gasto por sala/dia; Comparação do valor gasto por sala/dia. Vale assinalar que: Os anestésicos inalatórios não entraram no levantamento dos medicamentos utilizados nas cirurgias, pois comportam frações diferentes para cada paciente; No primeiro dia de mapeamento (pré e pós) das salas cirúrgicas, os medicamentos vencidos encontrados foram recolhidos e considerados como consumidos. Resultados: Não houve críticas nem reclamações em relação ao novo sistema implantado. Quantitativamente, houve uma redução de aproximadamente 47% no estoque inicial, 54% nas solicitações extras e 30,4% no consumo de medicamentos, com impacto muito relevante sobre os custos. Conclusões: Foi viável e benéfica a prática de implantação dos kits, pois houve redução de aproximadamente 60% nos gastos, estimados pelo preço de medicamentos, traduzindo menores perdas e desperdícios. / Purpose: The hospital a integrant of a health coordinated system, which duty is offer services. The hospital administrators\' worry is get the lowest cost as possible and increasing the quality. As the hospital cost has an important installment represented by the medicine and materials consumed, and the pharmacy being the control responsible section, storage and dispensation, the pharmacist has improving professionally and developing researches and studies, in order to reformulate ones basics activities and recover some primary functions such as pharmaco economy, in order to adequate the new demands. The medicine distribution system is relevant in this context, which has started with a collective dose, which the main problems were the medicine error increased, the economic losses because of the lack of control, and the excessive expenses by the nurse ring in order to sort out the medicine, instead of patient care. Then it upgrade to the individual dose, which has not only decrease and /or extinguishes all the disadvantage of collective dose, presented a more effective control of the medicine consume, increasing the pharmacist integration along with health group, being the main disadvantage, the increase of Hospital Pharmacy infrastructure and human recourse need. And the one dose being the last one, being a derivation from the individual dose, which has as the main targets rationalize the therapy, decrease the costs without reducing the dispensation quality; and guaranty that the prescribed medicine reach the patient in a hygienic and safe fashion, guarantying the efficacy of the prescribed therapeutic scheme. After having connect the above described concepts, the Surgery Room of Instituto Central do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da USP purpose identify a representative product group, and use these medicine group, on the kit dispensation system elaboration, increase , and experiment. This new alternative intend to hit as the two main benefits which are the better use of economic resources and increasing the assistance quality giving to the patient and to the multi professional team. Method: The used research method applied was a qualitative/quantitative study case, where it was applied at the Centro Cirúrgico do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, from 12/05/2002 to 22/07/2002. Were chosen as samples the ten surgey rooms of Block III, where we could follow big and medium port procedures of specific medical surgery specialties. The study was divided into three steps, where the first two experiments, and the third one was only analyses and comprehension of found. From the available medicine group mapping was taken (which means ones in the drug trolleys, at the kits and the extra solicitations) and the inventory of three day consumptions of each surgery room at the Block III, at the two experimental steps. At the first step - pre kit - the inventory was taken through a verification of the group the quantities which were in the drug emergency trolley and anesthesia of each room, at 06:30 min a.m. before the surgeries starting and at the late afternoon after the last surgery happened, so, determining the consumption/ day/room. These inventories were chosen in random days way in order not to prompt the medical or the nursing group to modify their consumption. At the second step - post kit - the inventory was taken in the pharmacy unit through out of a kit dispensation documents analyses and debit note, which were listed the medicine amount used and from the nurse asked for during the surgery. This document confirmation was done through out of the kit checking and the extra medicine return. The medicine trolley were not use any more, only the kits and the extra medicine, which through the established routine should be returned after each surgery ended, and nothing was left in the surgery room between surgeries. The analyses of the results were taken right after the closing of the two research pre and post kit implementation: Medicine consume comparison by room/day; Listing the price of each medicine used; Total expenses calculated by room/day; Comparison of expenses by room/day. Is worthwhile note that: The inhale ting anesthetic are not considered on the used medicine inventory used at the surgery, because it holds different fractions for each patient; At the first surgery room mapping day (pre and post) the out of day medicine were took away and considered as used. Results: There were no criticism nor complaints related to implemented new system. Quantitatively, there was a decrease of 47% on the initial stock, 54% at the extra solicitations and 30,4% at the medicine consumption, with a very related impact on the costs. Conclusions: The implementation of the kits was totally viable because there was about 60% costs reduction, estimated by the medicine price, presenting less losses and wastings.

Após o fechamento dos dois levantamentos pré e pósimplantação do kit procedeu-se às seguintes análises dos resultados: Comparação do consumo de medicamentos por sala/dia; Relação de preço de cada medicamento utilizado; Cálculo do valor total gasto por sala/dia; Comparação do valor gasto por sala/dia. Vale assinalar que: Os anestésicos inalatórios não entraram no levantamento dos medicamentos utilizados nas cirurgias, pois comportam frações diferentes para cada paciente; No primeiro dia de mapeamento (pré e pós) das salas cirúrgicas, os medicamentos vencidos encontrados foram recolhidos e considerados como consumidos. Resultados: Não houve críticas nem reclamações em relação ao novo sistema implantado. Quantitativamente, houve uma redução de aproximadamente 47% no estoque inicial, 54% nas solicitações extras e 30,4% no consumo de medicamentos, com impacto muito relevante sobre os custos. Conclusões: Foi viável e benéfica a prática de implantação dos kits, pois houve redução de aproximadamente 60% nos gastos, estimados pelo preço de medicamentos, traduzindo menores perdas e desperdícios. / Purpose: The hospital a integrant of a health coordinated system, which duty is offer services. The hospital administrators\' worry is get the lowest cost as possible and increasing the quality. As the hospital cost has an important installment represented by the medicine and materials consumed, and the pharmacy being the control responsible section, storage and dispensation, the pharmacist has improving professionally and developing researches and studies, in order to reformulate ones basics activities and recover some primary functions such as pharmaco economy, in order to adequate the new demands. The medicine distribution system is relevant in this context, which has started with a collective dose, which the main problems were the medicine error increased, the economic losses because of the lack of control, and the excessive expenses by the nurse ring in order to sort out the medicine, instead of patient care. Then it upgrade to the individual dose, which has not only decrease and /or extinguishes all the disadvantage of collective dose, presented a more effective control of the medicine consume, increasing the pharmacist integration along with health group, being the main disadvantage, the increase of Hospital Pharmacy infrastructure and human recourse need. And the one dose being the last one, being a derivation from the individual dose, which has as the main targets rationalize the therapy, decrease the costs without reducing the dispensation quality; and guaranty that the prescribed medicine reach the patient in a hygienic and safe fashion, guarantying the efficacy of the prescribed therapeutic scheme. After having connect the above described concepts, the Surgery Room of Instituto Central do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da USP purpose identify a representative product group, and use these medicine group, on the kit dispensation system elaboration, increase , and experiment. This new alternative intend to hit as the two main benefits which are the better use of economic resources and increasing the assistance quality giving to the patient and to the multi professional team. Method: The used research method applied was a qualitative/quantitative study case, where it was applied at the Centro Cirúrgico do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, from 12/05/2002 to 22/07/2002. Were chosen as samples the ten surgey rooms of Block III, where we could follow big and medium port procedures of specific medical surgery specialties. The study was divided into three steps, where the first two experiments, and the third one was only analyses and comprehension of found. From the available medicine group mapping was taken (which means ones in the drug trolleys, at the kits and the extra solicitations) and the inventory of three day consumptions of each surgery room at the Block III, at the two experimental steps. At the first step - pre kit - the inventory was taken through a verification of the group the quantities which were in the drug emergency trolley and anesthesia of each room, at 06:30 min a.m. before the surgeries starting and at the late afternoon after the last surgery happened, so, determining the consumption/ day/room. These inventories were chosen in random days way in order not to prompt the medical or the nursing group to modify their consumption. At the second step - post kit - the inventory was taken in the pharmacy unit through out of a kit dispensation documents analyses and debit note, which were listed the medicine amount used and from the nurse asked for during the surgery. This document confirmation was done through out of the kit checking and the extra medicine return. The medicine trolley were not use any more, only the kits and the extra medicine, which through the established routine should be returned after each surgery ended, and nothing was left in the surgery room between surgeries. The analyses of the results were taken right after the closing of the two research pre and post kit implementation: Medicine consume comparison by room/day; Listing the price of each medicine used; Total expenses calculated by room/day; Comparison of expenses by room/day. Is worthwhile note that: The inhale ting anesthetic are not considered on the used medicine inventory used at the surgery, because it holds different fractions for each patient; At the first surgery room mapping day (pre and post) the out of day medicine were took away and considered as used. Results: There were no criticism nor complaints related to implemented new system. Quantitatively, there was a decrease of 47% on the initial stock, 54% at the extra solicitations and 30,4% at the medicine consumption, with a very related impact on the costs. Conclusions: The implementation of the kits was totally viable because there was about 60% costs reduction, estimated by the medicine price, presenting less losses and wastings.
