Key result
Hybrid OR crowding peaks during the open wound phase of EVAR, reaching up to 14 people.
Why the study?
Team composition and staff roles in a hybrid operating room during endovascular aortic repairs were not well characterized.
Observational (n=9)
Hybrid operating rooms during endovascular aortic repairs can become highly crowded, highlighting potential inefficiencies in staff presence and roles.
Hybrid OR for EVAR most crowded in wound-open phase with variable staffing; leaves open optimal team configurations for efficiency and safety.
AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate team composition and staff roles in a hybrid operating room during endovascular aortic repairs. DESIGN: Quantitative descriptive design. METHODS: Nine endovascular aortic repairs procedures were video-recorded between December 2014 and September 2015. The data analysis involved examining the work process, number of people in the room and categories of staff and their involvement in the procedure. RESULTS: The procedures were divided into four phases. The hybrid operating room was most crowded in phase 3 when the skin wound was open. Some staff categories were in the room for the entire procedure even if they were not actively involved. The largest number of people simultaneously in the room was 14.

Bazzi et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Endovascular aortic repairs (n=9). Team composition and staff roles in a hybrid operating room was evaluated on Work process, number of people in the room, categories of staff, and their involvement. During 9 endovascular aortic repairs, the hybrid operating room was most crowded during the open skin wound phase, with up to 14 people simultaneously present.
