Operating room efficiency relies on timely equipment function, staff supervision, and procedure complexity. Addressing delays, especially in morning shifts and complex surgeries, is key for better operating room productivity and decision-making.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Surgical Operations
  • Hospital Administration

Background:

  • Operating room (OR) efficiency requires continuous evaluation of equipment, personnel competency, and surgical procedure complexity.
  • Current internal controls lack productivity analysis for informed decision-making.
  • Suboptimal OR use hinders efficient healthcare delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Identify factors contributing to suboptimal operating room utilization.
  • Propose evidence-based solutions to enhance operating room efficiency.
  • Improve surgical workflow and resource allocation.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, observational, transversal, and comparative study design.
  • Structured questionnaires used to record surgical intervention times in two ORs over 60 days.

  • Comparison of real vs. ideal surgical times and complexity levels, with Fisher's test for significance (p < 0.05).

    • Main Results:

    • 125 procedures analyzed: 57.6% morning shift (MS), 42.2% evening shift (ES).
    • Higher complexity (Level IIII) and elective surgeries dominated.
    • Significant delays in MS (20.5 min) vs. ES (4.3 min); complex procedures showed greater delays.

    Conclusions:

    • Efficient OR use hinges on timely equipment function, systematic supervision, and managing procedure complexity.
    • Addressing shift-based delays and complexity impacts is crucial for OR productivity.
    • Data-driven insights support improved OR management and decision-making.
