Why the study?

Does anesthesiology resident teaching in the peri-induction period increase the time to surgical incision?

Population

1558 surgical cases in an inpatient operating room suite of a tertiary academic medical center

Design

Cohort

Discussion

Minimal teaching-related delay supports continued resident involvement in induction; leaves open generalizability across institutions and procedures.

Does anesthesiology resident teaching in the peri-induction period increase the time to surgical incision?

Population

1558 surgical cases in an inpatient operating room suite of a tertiary academic medical center

Intervention

Anesthesiology resident teaching during the peri-induction period (patient-on-table to skin incision)

Outcome

Actual time spent teaching and increase in time to surgical incision

Anesthesiology resident teaching in the operating room causes a minimal increase in time to incision compared to total surgical case length.

Davis et al. (2006) studied this question.
