Resumen
SANABRIA, Álvaro et al. The ideal surgical rounds: elements for the correct implementation. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2013, vol.28, n.2, pp.136-144. ISSN 2011-7582.
Surgical round is a centennial and routine activity. Nonetheless, its methodology is heterogeneous and each surgeon put his vision, methods, requirements and characteristics on it. Due to this heterogeneity, the aim of this article is to offer some recommendations based on scientific literature in order to organize and standardize it. These suggestions could serve as a model to make more effective surgical rounds. Surgical round needs planning and a systematic development to get its objectives. The best way to remember the minimal steps and convert it in a routine, is to use a checklist. Surgical round is an opportunity to assess ourselves and other into an academic setting. It is also a very good strategy to control health costos and evalute cost-effective interventions in hospitals.
