NCT00591435 | Completed DMC

• 2 other identifiers: UKSH_HanssIRB: A138/07
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 600
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Anaesthesia and surgery related time intervals of three standard operations are compared depending on whether residents or consultants are performing anaesthesia and surgery. Hypothesis: Perioperative workflow is influenced by state of education, time intervals reflecting anaesthesia as well as surgical performance increase due to resident training. Therefore, costs of perioperative care increase as well.

Conditions

Intraoperative Workflow; Anesthesia and Procedure Related Time Intervals

Keywords

Anesthesia; Surgery; Education; Economics

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Anaesthesia and procedural related time intervals

  All events will be recorded intraoperativly

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• OR costs are calculated as $ 15.00 per minute, additional costs due to increase of time intervals will be analyzed

  All data will be recorded intraoperaitvly

Study Arms (3)

1

200 laparoscopic cholecystectomies will be included, consultant cases will be compared to resident cases

Other: Comparison of performance of consultants versus residents

2

200 laparoscopic pelviscopies will be included, consultant cases will be compared to resident cases

Other: Comparison of performance of consultants versus residents

3

200 transurethral resection of urinary bladder or prostate gland will be included, consultant cases will be compared to resident cases

Other: Comparison of performance of consultants versus residents

Interventions

Comparison of performance of consultants versus residents OTHER

Anesthesia as well as surgical workflow will be analysed. Performance of consultants will be compared to residents
