Influence of Resident Training on Intra-Operative Workflow - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	University of Schleswig-Holstein
Information provided by:	University of Schleswig-Holstein
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00591435

Purpose

Anaesthesia and surgery related time intervals of three standard operations are compared depending on whether residents or consultants are performing anaesthesia and surgery. Hypothesis: Perioperative workflow is influenced by state of education, time intervals reflecting anaesthesia as well as surgical performance increase due to resident training. Therefore, costs of perioperative care increase as well.

Condition	Intervention
Intraoperative Workflow Anesthesia and Procedure Related Time Intervals	Other: Comparison of performance of consultants versus residents

Study Type:	Observational
Study Design:	Cohort, Retrospective
Official Title:	Resident Training Affects Intra-Operative Workflow and Costs
