| Sumario: | Background and Objectives: it is important to measure and relate theory and practice applied in the workplace through health quality indicators such as adequate care for surgical patients and prevention of future infections. This study aimed to analyze quality indicators related to the prevention of surgical site infections in a teaching hospital. Methods: a cross-sectional, analytical, prospective and quantitative study, with a theoretical basis in triad structure, process and outcome. It was carried out in the surgical center of a public, university hospital in southern Brazil, linked to the Brazilian Health System. The study sample included the surgical teams and the surgical center of the study hospital, and its composition was given based on the inclusion criteria, such as surgery performed during the daytime period (from 07:00 to 19:00), from Monday to Friday, on an elective basis, during a period of three months, in 2022 (September to November). Results:there were 283 elective surgical procedures, with emphasis on procedures performed without breaking the aseptic technique of the surgical field reported in the transoperative record (97.53%; 276). The surgical center studied presented an operational structure that was incomplete in accordance with the recommended safe practice standards. The sample identified 22.30% (63) of patients with surgical site infection. Conclusion: the analysis of indicators demonstrated the need to adapt items related to structure and process (adequate antiseptic dispenser and taps operated without manual contact), in addition to reviewing standard operational protocols. |
