This paper reports the case of a patient about to undergo a tubal ligation; after inducing anesthesia, the surgical table where the patient lay in a state of deep sedation and analgesia fractured, exposing her to a fall. The patient did not suffer any injury and it was determined that the cause of the fracture was the wear of a support piece of the surgical table, which is considered material fatigue.
Se presenta el caso de una paciente que iba a ser intervenida para ligadura de trompas. Luego de la inducción anestésica, la mesa quirúrgica donde yacía en estado de sedación y analgesia profunda se fracturó y la paciente quedó expuesta a presentar una caída. La paciente no sufrió ninguna lesión y se pudo corroborar que la causa del incidente fue el desgaste de una pieza de soporte de la mesa quirúrgica, lo que se puede considerar como fatiga de materiales.
