The majority of paediatric dental general anaesthetic lists finish early or on time, with prolonged pre-anaesthetic time being a significant factor for lists that overrun.
Foley et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Paediatric dentistry under general anaesthesia (n=71). Paediatric dental general anaesthetic procedures was evaluated on Use of theatre time (finishing early/on time vs late) (p=0.048). Among 71 paediatric dental operating lists, 85.9% finished early or on time, while longer pre-anaesthetic time was significantly associated with lists finishing late (P=0.048).
