Colon Myoelectric Activity Measured After Open Abdominal Surgery with a Noninvasive Wireless Patch System Predicts Time to First Flatus
Abstract Background: Passage of flatus after abdominal surgery signals resolution of physiological postoperative ileus (POI) and often, particularly after complex open surgeries, serves as the trigger to initiate oral feeding. To date, there is no objective tool that can predict time to flatus allowing for timely feeding and optimizing recovery. In an open, prospective study, we examine ...

Operating room cost management in cardiac surgery: a simulation study
The high variability in the required operating room (OR) time of open heart surgeries with approximately four and a half hours average overall duration is the main challenge in managing OR utilisation. We evaluate, with a discrete-event simulation model, how three different process changes – a four-day OR week, better accuracy in OR time forecasting and having anaesthesia induction take place ...
