The Journal of arthroplasty·2025

Dedicated orthopedic operating rooms (ORs) significantly reduce perioperative times for total knee and hip arthroplasty. This efficiency gain streamlines surgical workflows without compromising patient safety, improving overall OR throughput.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Healthcare Management
  • Operating Room Efficiency

Background:

  • Optimizing operating room (OR) throughput is crucial for healthcare systems.
  • Total knee and hip arthroplasty are high-volume procedures susceptible to OR delays.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of dedicated orthopedic operating rooms on perioperative efficiency.
  • To determine if specialized units improve OR throughput for joint replacement surgeries.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study matched 422 procedures from a dedicated orthopedic unit against a traditional staffing model.
  • Key performance indicators including anesthesia controlled time, operative time, and turnover time were analyzed.

Main Results:

Augmented Reality Navigation-Guided Core Decompression for Osteonecrosis of Femoral Head

Published on: April 12, 2022

  • The dedicated orthopedic unit demonstrated significant reductions: 4 minutes in anesthesia controlled time (P<.001), 7 minutes in operative time (P=.004), and 8 minutes in turnover time (P<.001).
  • An overall time saving of 19 minutes per procedure was achieved.
  • No increase in adverse events was observed.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing dedicated orthopedic operating rooms enhances efficiency in total knee and hip arthroplasty.
  • This model effectively reduces perioperative times and increases OR throughput.
  • Dedicated units offer a safe and effective strategy for improving surgical workflow.
