What does this research mean for the field?

Prolonged time to extubation (≥ 15 minutes) is associated with an economically significant increase of at least 11 to 12 minutes in the mean time from the end of surgery to operating room exit. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Implication

Prolonged extubation was associated with delayed OR exit; leaves open whether targeted protocols improve throughput or costs.

Structured PICO

Does prolonged time to extubation increase the mean time from end of surgery to operating room exit?

Population

Cases from 1 tertiary hospital where the patient's trachea was intubated and extubated while physically in the operating room, collected from November 2005 through December 2012.

Intervention

Prolonged time to extubation (≥ 15-minute interval from end of surgery to removal of tracheal tube)

Comparator

Extubations that were not prolonged

Outcome

Mean time from end of surgery to operating room (OR) exit

Prolonged extubation significantly increases the time from end of surgery to OR exit, representing an economically important delay.
