Theatre efficiency -
Most hospitals perform 6-8 cases on a 4 hour operating list. One NHS hospital that I work at is very efficient at cataract surgery. I videoed the whole list from start of surgery to end of last case to illustrate the real-time flow. Normally we would perform 15 cases on a 4 hour list but Covid measures resulted in a reduced list of 9 cases.
Staffing: 3 theatre staff, 3 ward staff.
Surgeon does operation notes and draping for all cases.
Case 1 - 00:00:02
Case 2 - 00:14:12
Case 3 - 00:28:42
Case 4 - 00:46:17
Case 5 - 00:59:48
Case 6 - 01:31:30
Case 7 - 01:31:30
Case 8 - 01:46:14
Case 9 - 02:03:33
Average surgical time = 6mins 10 seconds (Range 04:58 to 09:49)
Average turnaround = 8mins 45 seconds (Range 06:33 to 12:36) - defined here as time between microscope swinging in and out at beginning and end of each case.
High Volume Cataract Surgery.
