A search was conducted using Scopus to gather relevant research on increasing surgical case numbers. References and citations were then examined. The search identified strategies to reduce non-operative times, facilitate overlapping surgeries, and optimize OR scheduling. Key findings indicate that reducing anesthesia-controlled times alone is insufficient to reliably add extra surgical cases within an eight-hour workday. Instead, significant productivity gains are realized by managing OR turnover times, using induction rooms, and revising workflows to maximize efficiency. Studies show that overlapping surgeries and strategic use of adjacent spaces can significantly increase the number of daily surgical cases performed. Most surgical growth is driven by accommodating low caseload surgeons across multiple specialties. Facilitating OR time access for these surgeons through flexible scheduling and re-sequencing of cases is crucial. Additionally, anesthesiologists should be engaged in daily OR scheduling and case sequencing, particularly within two days of surgery. The dual goals are to increase OR utilization and reduce patient wait times. These results from the management case report underscores the importance of evidence-based OR management practices and proactive involvement of anesthesiologists in scheduling decisions to enhance surgical productivity effectively.</p>","PeriodicalId":94196,"journal":{"name":"Revista espanola de anestesiologia y reanimacion","volume":" ","pages":"501656"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
