    Assessment of operative times of multiple surgical specialties in a public university hospital
    (Inst Israelita Ensino & Pesquisa Albert Einstein, 2017) Costa, Altair da Silva, Jr. [UNIFESP]
    Objective: To evaluate the indicators duration of anesthesia, operative time and time patients stay in the operating rooms of different surgical specialties at a public university hospital. Methods: It was done by a descriptive cross-sectional study based on the operating room database. The following stages were measured: duration of anesthesia, procedure time and patient length of stay in the room of the various specialties. We included surgeries carried out in sequence in the same room, between 7: 00 a. m. and 5 p.m., either elective or emergency. We calculated the 80th percentile of the stages, where 80% of procedures were below this value. Results: The study measured 8,337 operations of 12 surgical specialties performed within one year. The overall mean duration of anesthesia of all specialties was 178.12 +/- 110.46 minutes, and the 80th percentile was 252 minutes. The mean operative time was 130.45 +/- 97.23 minutes, and the 80th percentile was 195 minutes. The mean total time of the patient in the operating room was 197.30 +/- 113.71 minutes, and the 80th percentile was 285 minutes. Thus, the variation of the overall mean compared to the 80th percentile was 41% for anesthesia, 49% for surgeries and 44% for operating room time. In average, anesthesia took up 88% of the operating room period, and surgery, 61%. Conclusion: This study identified patterns in the duration of surgery stages. The mean values of the specialties can assist with operating room planning and reduce delays.
