In our department, we have been using an Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS) for five years. In this study, we tested to what extent data extracted from the AIMS could be suitable for the supervision and time-management of operating rooms.
From 1995 to 1999, all relevant data from 103,264 anesthetic procedures were routinely recorded online with the automatic anesthesia record keeping system NarkoData. The program is designed to record patient related time data, such as the beginning of anesthesia or surgical procedure, on a graphical anesthesia record sheet. The total number of minutes of surgery and anesthesia for each surgical subspecialty per hour/day and day of the year was calculated for each of the more than 40 ORs, amounting to a total of 112 workstations.
It was possible to analyze the usage and the utilization of ORs at the hospital for each day of the year since 1997. In addition, annual and monthly evaluations are made available. It is possible to scrutinize data of OR usage from different points of view: queries on the usage of an individual OR, the usage of ORs on certain days or the usage of ORs by a certain surgical subspecialty may be formulated. These data has been used repeatedly in our hospital for decision making in OR management and planning.
In assessing the results of our study, it should be considered that the system used is not a specialized OR management tool. Despite these restrictions, the system contains data which can be used for an exact and relevant presentation of OR utilization.
在我们科室，我们使用麻醉信息管理系统（AIMS）已有五年。在本研究中，我们测试了从AIMS提取的数据在多大程度上适用于手术室的监督和时间管理。
1995年至1999年，103264例麻醉手术的所有相关数据通过自动麻醉记录系统NarkoData进行常规在线记录。该程序旨在在图形化麻醉记录单上记录与患者相关的时间数据，如麻醉或手术开始时间。计算了40多个手术室中每个手术室每小时/每天/每年各手术亚专业的手术和麻醉总分钟数，总计112个工作站。
自1997年以来，可以分析医院手术室每天的使用情况和利用率。此外，还提供年度和月度评估。可以从不同角度审查手术室使用数据：可以提出关于单个手术室使用情况、特定日期手术室使用情况或特定手术亚专业手术室使用情况的查询。这些数据已在我院多次用于手术室管理和规划的决策。
在评估我们的研究结果时，应考虑所使用的系统不是专门的手术室管理工具。尽管有这些限制，该系统包含的数据可用于准确且相关地呈现手术室利用率。
