Computerized O.R. scheduling: is it an accurate predictor of surgical time?

The goal of this project was to determine whether a standardized surgical time, generated by the Operating Room Information System (ORIS), could be used as an accurate predictor of actual surgical time. Utilizing retrospective, quantitative data from the ORIS database, frequency distributions by surgical speciality, were completed. Chi-square analysis was applied to determine the significance of the frequency distributions. The study outcome indicates that ORIS computer generated procedure times were not an accurate predictor of actual surgical time. Further follow-up will be required to determine if alternate scheduling methodologies would lead to higher accuracy rates.

Fire safety in the operating room.

1. To understand why and how a fire occurs, one needs to look at what is ignited, how it was ignited, and any other factors that may have changed either of these concepts. The three most common ignition sources are lasers, electric cautery equipment, and high intensity light cords. 2. There are four human reactions to fire: disbelief; do nothing; reconsideration of the existence of fire; and taking some action. 3. The best method of fighting a fire is to avoid having one. Emphasis should be placed on prevention. Every OR education program should include elements of a prefire plan that is consistent with the prefire plan for the institution.
