Factors Affecting Operative Time Intervals for Lower Limb Arthroplasties - Correlation with Total Operative Time.

CONCLUSIONS The strongest correlation was found between ART and TOPT. As the patient's age increased, ART and SPT time intervals were also significantly increased. Increased age and higher ASA scores with an unexperienced anesthegiologist significantly increased the ART intervals. Therefore, reducing ART is the most important factor in reducing TOPT. Key words:arthroplasty, anaesthesia, operation time. PMID: 30843509 [PubMed - in process]
