- Abstract
Objective: To analyze the reliability of the data recorded in the Aldrete and Kroulik Index (AKI) in the Post- Anesthetic Recovery Room (PARR). Materials and method: Cross-sectional and documentary study conducted in the Post-anesthetic Recovery Room of a university hospital in northeastern Brazil. Data were collected from perioperative nursing care records of 203 patients admitted to the PARR, who underwent elective surgeries from January to September 2019. The reliability analysis included the evaluation of: incompleteness and agreement of the AKI records, through an adapted score and Intraerclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), respectively. Results: All variables in the study presented a "very low incompleteness" score (below 5%) in the AKI. The parameters "oxygen saturation", "muscle activity", "breathing" and "consciousness" showed excellent/satisfactory agreement classification. The variable circulation presented "unsatisfactory" classification and reveals a fragility of the care team to correctly calculate this parameter. Conclusions: The reliability of the records reveals satisfactory completeness of the AKI and excellent/satisfactory agreement in four of the five parameters evaluated in the post- anesthetic recovery room. However, the observed failures cause legal repercussions, compromise patient safety and interfere with the quality of postoperative care.
