About this study

Official title: Audio Recording During Laparoscopic Surgery - The Impact on Conversation Between Surgeons

In september 2017 audio recording during laparoscopic general surgery was implemented as routine a Lindesbergs hospital. The study was designed to observe operations before and after the introduction of audio recording. The main outcome of the study was time spent on non-relevant conversation.

Read the detailed description

In september 2017 audio recording during laparoscopic general surgery was implemented as routine a Lindesbergs hospital. One single observer not working at the department observed consecutive operations before and after the introduction of audio recordings. All elective laparoscopic procedures were included. There was no available data to support a Power-calculation why we intended to include 20 patients in each arm of the study. Exclusion criteria were refusal of operating team or patient to participate in the study, or planned open surgery. Potential disturbances were recorded by the observer. The main outcome was time with non-relevant conversation (for the operation or as part of education).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Non-relevant conversation

    Time spent on non-relevant conversation

    Measured: Operation. Measured from from the start of the operation (WHO surgical safety checklist) until end of operation (last stitch in place)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Postoperative complication

    complication occuring within the first 30 Days after surgery

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  2. Intraoperative unplanned event

    Any deviation from expected events during the surgical procedure

    Measured: Operation. Measured from from the start of the operation (WHO surgical safety checklist) until end of operation (last stitch in place)

  3. Corrections of assistant surgeon

    number of corrections of assistant surgeon made by the operating surgeon

    Measured: Operation. Measured from from the start of the operation (WHO surgical safety checklist) until end of operation (last stitch in place)

  4. Operation time

    Length of operation

    Measured: Operation. Measured from from the start of the operation (WHO surgical safety checklist) until end of operation (last stitch in place)
