Overview

May support temperature feedback in anesthesia; hypothesis-generating for broader perioperative monitoring and needs randomized confirmation.

Structured PICO

Does a continuous monitoring and feedback initiative improve perioperative quality indicators in elective surgical patients?

P
Population
Elective surgical patients passing through the main surgical suite of a large academic teaching hospital, and consultant anaesthetists
I
Intervention
Continuous monitoring and feedback initiative using Statistical Process Control (SPC), including monthly reports on ward-transfer times and quality of recovery, and personalised monthly reports to consultant anaesthetists
C
Comparator
Pre-intervention period (interrupted time series design)
O
Outcome
Core temperature, patient reported pain, nausea, quality of recovery, and ward-transfer times

Providing timely, relevant, and credible data feedback to anaesthetists can improve specific perioperative quality indicators such as patient temperature.
