Can the Usage of Regional Block Room Save the Time of Anesthesia Team

Can the Usage of Regional Block Room Save the Time of Anesthesia Team in the Main Orthopedic Operating Room?

Study of time usage of anesthesia team inside the main operating room compares between 2 groups of

• Performing regional anesthesia inside the operating room
• Performing regional anesthesia in the block room

Study purpose: How much will the investigators save time in the main operating room if we perform the regional anesthesia in the block room?

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Time; Anesthesia
• Intervention / Treatment: Procedure: regional anesthesia

Detailed Description

Anesthesia-controlled time means anesthesia pre-procedure time plus anesthesia post-procedure time.

We also compares the anesthesia-controlled time in 3 groups of

• general anesthesia
• regional anesthesia
• general anesthesia combined with regional anesthesia

• Study Type: Observational
• Enrollment (Anticipated): 800
