In Colombia, there is a growing conscience about adverse events management. This study explores the first phase of this management: report in a typical private intensive care unit.Objective: To assess adverse event report at a Colombian tertiary level institution, through frequency and report category assessment.Methods: A descriptive study regarding adverse event report rates during 2011 period in Clinica de los Andes de Tunja, was carried out, through frequency and report category assessment. Adverse event report rate was defined as the number of reports per 1000 patient bed. We reported major and minor categories of events.Results: A total of 383 admissions (2374 patient days) were recorded. 54 adverse events were reported (rate of 22,74 per 1000 patient days). The most frequent events were related to intravenous route (55%) (CI 95% 50,1-58,3) followed by process deviation (22%)(CI 95% 18,2-26,1).Conclusions: An adverse event report rate closeto the upper limit of literature reports numbers was found. Probably, there is still non quantified under-report of adverse events, likely due to cultural factors.  Introducción: La seguridad de paciente en áreas hospitalarias críticas ha sido tema de diversas investigaciones. En este sentido, en Colombia está creciendo la conciencia acerca de la gestión de eventos adversos. Este estudio explora la primera fase de dicha gestión: el reporte en la unidad de cuidado intensivo de una institución privada prototipo.Objetivo: Evaluar el reporte de eventos adversos en una clínica colombiana de tercer nivel, a través de la estimación de frecuencias y categorías de los reportes.Material y Métodos: Se hizo un estudio descriptivo sobre la tasa de reporte de eventos adversos en la Clínica de los Andes de Tunja, durante 2011, a través de la estimación de frecuencias y categorías de los reportes. La tasa de reporte se definió como el número de reportes por 1000 días cama.Reportamos las categorías de los eventos adversos comomayores y menores.Resultados: Se registraron 383 admisiones a la UCI, correspondientes a 2374 días paciente. Se presentaron un total de 54 eventos adversos reportados (tasa de 22,74 por 1000 días paciente). El tipo de evento más frecuente fue el relacionado con vías intravenosas (55%)(IC 95% 50,1-58,3), seguido pordesviación de procesos (22%)(IC 95% 18,2-26,1).Conclusiones: Se encontróuna tasa de reporte de eventos adversos en el rango superior de lo publicado en la literatura. Posiblemente exista aúnuna proporción no cuantificada de subregistro, que puede atribuirse principalmente a factores culturales. Universidad Nacional Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.
