Brief Summary  

After obtaining approval from the institutional ethics committee this study will be conducted at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital (DDUH), which is one of the largest tertiary care Government Hospital in West Delhi. It has 640 beds (as on 11 august 2017) and performs both emergency and elective surgeries. The Operating room in the  hospital are serving all specialties including general surgery, ear, nose, and throat, Ophthalmology, gynecology, orthopedics, plastic surgery, and neurosurgery. All the elective orthopaedic and gynaecologic cases are performed in Main OT-1 while all the elective Ear, Nose and Throat, Eye and General Surgery cases are performed in Main OT-2.

This will be a prospective, cross sectional study of all types of elective surgical procedures except plastic surgery and neurosurgery. Data will be collected prospectively for 06 months.

We will study the rate and reasons for cancellation of elective cases on the day of scheduled surgery in the Main OT-1 and Main OT-2 located in the main OT complex of DDUH which has total strength of 08 operating theatres.

Exclusion criteria:

Procedures that did not require presence of an anaesthetist will be excluded.

Any case posted as an emergency case outside the OT list will be excluded.

Definition:

A posted case will be defined as a case scheduled in the elective surgery OT list, which is submitted to the respective operation theatre on the last working day before the day of proposed surgery. Any supplementary list provided on the morning of surgery will also be included in the database.

A cancelled case will be defined as a case that has been scheduled in OT list and has not been operated on the day of proposed surgery.

 

Causes of cancellation will be divided into following categories:

1. Patient related factors which include patient “no show,” patient’s refusal to sign consent form, noncompliance of preoperative orders by the patient and death prior to the date of the operation etc.

2. Preoperative preparation causes such as the need for further optimization, further investigation, abnormal investigation reports or change in the treatment plan, change in medical status etc.

3. Facility related factors including lack of OT time; no ICU beds; unavailability of equipment, implants; staff administrative errors such as incorrect booking, surgery done as an emergency; non-availability of anaesthesist, surgeon or technical staff etc.

4. Other causes as per database.

 

Data will be collected from OT lists, operation theatre registers and patient medical records and will be analyzed statistically.
