Objectives: 1) To describe the process of implementation of walkrounds with hospital managers in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at a tertiary hospital ; 2) To examine whether there were differences between the WR in the Adult Intensive Care Unit (AICU) and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU ); 3) To know the opinion of the participants about the tool. Methodology: It is an analytic and longitudinal study done between 2009 and 2011. It was used a sheet with 6 items: 1) Presence of wristband ; 2) Dressings roads in good condition; 3) Headboard at 30º; 4) Special mattress adapted to patients with pressure ulcers ; 5 ) Sheet for medical treatments without any doubts for nurses and 6) Daily goal sheet fulfilled. It was used Statistical U Mann – Whitney for nonparametric samples. Results: A total of 167 patients were seen in 7. walkrounds At the beginning, items “mattress for patients with pressure ulcers” and “daily goal sheet fulfilled” had less than 60% of compliance in AICU. For the PICU, we found 0 % of compliance in the presence of wristband. There were statistically significant differences between the AICU and the PICU for those items. Conclusion: Walkrounds with hospital managers applied to ICUs at our hospital improved important aspects of patient safety. The involvement of hospital managers was the most important thing for the rest of health care workers and it ensured the successful implementation of the tool
