Comparison of Differences in the Operating Room Turn-over Rate between the Classical and PtDA Groups
| Duration | Classical group (n =1,470) | PtDA group (n = 1,516) | Difference (95% CI) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drug to extubation (min) | 7.03 ± 6.17 | 6.72 ± 6.75 | 0.31 (−0.17, 0.78) | 0.200 |
| Drug to OR discharge (min) | 9.49 ± 6.62 | 9.21 ± 7.61 | 0.28 (−0.24, 0.80) | 0.290 |
| Drug to PACU entry (min) | 18.47 ± 6.55 | 18.35 ± 6.91 | 0.12 (−0.37, 0.60) | 0.640 |
| Duration of PACU stay (min) | 50.16 ± 13.57 | 49.85 ± 20.63 | 0.31 (−0.96, 1.58) | 0.630 |
| Duration of surgery (min) | 116.83 ± 84.83 | 120.96 ± 85.79 | −4.13 (−10.25, 1.99) | 0.190 |
| Duration of anesthesia (min) | 170.39 ± 97.75 | 174.34 ± 95.42 | −3.95 (−10.87, 2.98) | 0.260 |
| Total time | 62.03 ± 31.58 | 62.84 ± 30.62 | −0.81 (−3.10, 1.48) | 0.490 |
Values are presented as mean ± SD. PtDAs: patient decision aids, OR: operating room, PACU: post-anesthesia care unit. The mean differences between groups were tested using t-tests and presented as two-sided P values.
