Playing the Surgical Technologist Role by Surgery Residents Improves Their Technical and Nontechnical Skills.
Journal of Surgical Research, 2019Co-Authors: Benjamin Nelson, Brandy L. Sullivan, Patrick O'neal, Vivian M. Sanchez, Edward E. Whang, Gentian KristoAbstract:BACKGROUND: The present study was designed to implement and evaluate an interprofessional Surgical Technologist-to-Surgical resident training program for junior general surgery residents aimed at enhancing their operating room skills. This program would be incorporated into the general surgery educational curriculum. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Under the guidance and supervision of a Surgical Technologist, first-year and second-year general surgery residents performed the perioperative and intraoperative tasks that are the responsibilities of the Surgical Technologist for 16 inguinal/umbilical hernia and 15 laparoscopic appendectomy/cholecystectomy operations performed by attending surgeons assisted by other Surgical residents from June 01, 2017 until December 31, 2017. A pretraining and post-training survey comprised 25 ranked questions (using a four-point Likert scale), and four Yes/No questions were administered to volunteer general surgery residents. RESULTS: Paired t-test analysis showed that playing the role of the Surgical Technologist by the junior surgery residents significantly improved (P

RESULTS: Paired t-test analysis showed that playing the role of the Surgical Technologist by the junior surgery residents significantly improved (P < 0.0001) their assessment of operating room technical skills (knowledge and skills to prepare for the case and maintain a sterile field, understanding of the operative steps, knowledge of Surgical instruments and their handling) as well as their nontechnical skills (situational awareness, understanding the importance of collaboration, teamwork, and communication). The answers to the binary Yes/No questions showed that all participating residents expect to use the experience gained from this training, would recommend this training session to a colleague, and support including this training session in their educational curriculum. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study suggest a significant educational benefit of incorporating interprofessional, Surgical Technologist-to-Surgical resident training into the educational curriculum of the junior general surgery residents.

Interdisciplinary work flow assessment and redesign decreases operating room turnover time and allows for additional caseload
2020Co-Authors: Juan C. Cenddn, Michael L. Good, David H. BergerAbstract:Hypothesis: Operating room turnover time (TOT) and daily caseload can be improved by analyzing the routine tasks of the operating team and minimizing inefficiencies. Design: In this prospective study, the assigned tasks and work flow patterns of the anesthesiologist, circulating nurse, and Surgical Technologist during operations and operating room turnover were studied and changes were implemented where inefficiencies were observed. A brief pilot followed by a broader-scale study was conducted. Setting: Tertiary care center. Participants: Circulating nurses and Surgical technicians were routinely assigned to work with one anesthesiologist and one surgeon during the pilot study; 4 surgeons and 32 anesthesiologists participated in the follow-up study. Interventions: The work flow diagram of each individual was redrawn, and changes were implemented. Critical moments were identified, in which brief assistance from other personnel was needed to improve efficiency. Main Outcome Measures: Operative TOT and number of daily operations were the main outcomes. A 2-tailed t test was used to compare the TOTs; X 2 analysis was used to compare the number of cases completed. Significance was defined as P

A 2-tailed t test was used to compare the TOTs; χ 2 analysis was used to compare the number of cases completed. Significance was defined as P Results A total of 401 operations and 253 turnovers were evaluated. Redesign decreased operating room TOT from 43.7 to 27.7 minutes ( P P Conclusion Interdisciplinary work flow assessment and redesign resulted in decreased operating room TOTs and additional cases being completed each day for 4 different surgeons.
