Association between operational indexes and the utilization rate of a general surgery center

“…Although the cleaning and preparation time was not an independent variable included in the linear regression model (it was almost a constant in the statistical test), it should be noted that some surgical teams attribute delays to the time taken to clean the rooms, whereas it might also be related to the anesthesia and surgery teams and to patients (16) .…”

“…According to the literature, cleaning and preparation begins after the auxiliary who takes the patient to the post anesthetic recovery room or to the ICU (1) returns, and according to some authors the average time spent in cleaning exceeded 30 minutes (1,5,16) . However, at the studied hospital, the cleaning procedure begins as soon as the anesthetic procedure ends, regardless of whether the patient has left the OR or not.…”

Measuring quality indicators in the operating room: cleaning and turnover time

“…Brazilian studies have investigated occupation rate (11) , average length of surgeries, satisfactory waiting time between surgeries (12) , and the operational capacity of the SCU (13) , analyzing factors that determine a gain or loss of productivity (14)(15) .…”

“…Cleaning time has accounted for delay and prolonged turnover (13) (18) . The surgical magnitude was determined according to the following concepts (19) : …”
