Intraquirúrgicas

Intraquirúrgicas refers to events or actions that occur during a surgical procedure. The term originates from Latin, with "intra" meaning "within" and "quirúrgica" relating to surgery. These events can encompass a wide range of occurrences, from unexpected complications like bleeding or instrument malfunction to specific interventions performed by the surgical team to address a particular situation encountered during the operation.

Examples of intraquirúrgicas can include the discovery of an anatomical anomaly not identified pre-operatively, a change in the patient's vital signs requiring immediate attention, or the need to adapt the surgical plan based on intraoperative findings. The management of such events is critical and relies heavily on the expertise and preparedness of the surgical team, including surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and technicians. Clear communication and rapid decision-making are paramount to ensure patient safety and optimize surgical outcomes when intraquirúrgicas arise. Documentation of these events is also a standard practice, contributing to medical records and potentially influencing future surgical approaches.
