Assessing the magnitude and costs of intraoperative inefficiencies attributable to surgical instrument trays
EW Stockert, A Langerman - Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2014 - Elsevier
Background Efficiency in the operating room has become a topic of great interest. This study
aimed to quantify the percent use of instruments among common instrument trays across 4
busy surgical services: Otolaryngology, Plastic Surgery, Bariatric Surgery, and
Neurosurgery. We further aimed to calculate the costs associated with tray and instrument
sterilization, as well as the implications of missing or damaged instruments. Study Design
This was a single-site, observational study conducted on the surgical instrumentation at a …
