Abstract

The purpose of this document is to make a checklist to evaluate the competencies of surgical nurses, who are responsible for asepsis in intervention sites. Worldwide, the need and importance of applying the Check List to improve surgical safety has been verified, in order to mitigate morbidity and mortality from nosocomial infections. According to studies carried out by the WHO, by applying these checklists, not only does communication among the work team improve, but it has managed to reduce the mortality of patients after a surgical procedure by 50%, in such a way that it is vitally important to carry out this evaluation to the staff in favor of finding highly trained people to perform these functions in an efficient and responsible manner in order to provide good patient care.
