Abstract
Purpose: This study aims at reporting the experience of a cancer hospital's multiprofessional team with surgery patients in performing cytoreductive surgeries associated with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Methods: It is a reporting about the experience of the multiprofessional team at AC Camargo Cancer Center's surgery center, which operates in cytoreductive surgeries with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, thus guaranteeing the surgery patient's safety. Results: No safety report for the surgery patient subjected to intraperitoneal hypothermic chemotherapy was found in the literature. Therefore, the surgery center's multiprofessional team's practice was based on standards for manipulating chemotherapeutic agents and for safely administering medication. A checklist was elaborated for cytoreductive surgeries with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy based on the surgery patient safety protocol and the institution's multiprofessional team's experience. Conclusions: From the multiprofessional team's experiences in cytoreductive surgeries with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, the importance of elaborating a checklist to promote the quality of assistance and guarantee patient safety during the entire intraoperative phase became evident.
