Objective
To analyze the surgeries which were suspended in the Dr. Federico Abete hospital during the year of 2014.
Method
Data from 441 suspended surgeries in the Surgery Unit of the Dr. Federico Abete hospital, between January 1st and December 31st 2014, were analyzed. A suspended surgery was defined as any surgery procedure which, due to any cause, was not performed on the day and at the time which was programmed by the hospital surgery center.
Results
The overall rate of suspended surgeries was 7.6%. The lowest rate was registered during December (4.3%), while the highest in November (11.1%). Logistic or administration related causes represented 44.2%, while medical, but not surgical, causes represented 40.8%. Specifically anesthesia related causes represented 5.4%.
Conclusions
These findings suggest that it is important to address this issue managing the resources in an efficient manner.
