- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the incidents that occurred during the in-hospital transport of patients from the perspective of the handlers/stretchers-bearers. Method: this is a quantitative, exploratory, descriptive study, carried out with 10 nurses from a university hospital. The data collection was performed through a structured form, with a descriptive analysis of the data. Results: 60% of workers reported participation in training courses; among the incidents that occurred during intra-hospital transport, the disconnection of O2 (oxygen), probe, serum equipment, breakage of the stretcher, a patient with cardiac arrest, the crisis of vomiting and falls were identified. Conclusion: the incidents reported by the stretcher-bearers, arising from the patient's transportation, are in disagreement with the guidelines because they place workers in a situation of vulnerability to these incidents.
