5. Study Description

Brief Summary
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.
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).
