Task Analysis of the Preincision Period in a Pediatric Operating Suite: An Independent Observer-Based Study of 656 Cases

Abstract: We designed this cross-sectional investigation to assess anesthesia release time (ART = patient-on-table until release for surgical preparation) and surgical preparation time (start of surgical preparation to incision) of children undergoing anesthesia and surgery (n = 656). Data collected by trained independent observers included variables such as age, ASA physical status, anesthetic technique, and placement of invasive monitoring. We found that mean ART was 11.0 +/- 9.7 min and the mean surgical preparation … Show more

“…Anesthesia induction, taking roughly 10% of the time spent in the OR, is most affected by the type of anesthesia, the type of the airway, the need for invasive monitoring, and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status. ASA class IV doubles (in children) or triples (in adults) the anesthesia preparation time compared with ASA physical status class I (15, 16).…”

“…The WHO’s surgical safety checklist, including sign in, time out and sign out, should be taken into account during work 7. Phases and tasks have been mapped in flow charts8 and described generally, with a focus on ergonomics and human factors,2 6 9–12 efficiency of the processes13 14 and on how safety emerges using systemic approach 15 16. According to resilience engineering, healthcare and resilience can be defined as the ability of the CAS to rapidly respond and adapt to both expected and unexpected conditions 17.…”

“…However, they did not give separate information for the pediatric patients or for specific operations. Recently, Saadat et al [21] investigated anesthesia release time in a very large sample of pediatric patients. The present study, performed in children operated on under SA or general anesthesia, sought to complement these findings.…”
