Influence of Resident Training on Intra-operative Workflow

Completed

• Conditions: Intraoperative Workflow; Anesthesia and Procedure Related Time Intervals
• Interventions: Other: Comparison of performance of consultants versus residents

• Registration Number: NCT00591435
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein

Brief Summary

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.
