ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Prospective resident entrustment (i.e., trust an attending surgeon intends to give to a resident in the near future) in the operating room (OR) closely associates with granted future autonomy. However, the process of determining resident entrustment takes time and effort. Thus, this study aimed to assess the efficiency of granting incremental resident entrustment for upcoming surgical cases.METHODS:
We analyzed prospective resident entrustment of 6 chief residents in 76 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic colectomy, ventral hernia, and inguinal hernia scored by attending surgeon, resident, and a surgeon observer. Matched direct costs and operative time were extracted from hospital billing. We assessed the efficiency of granting incremental prospective resident entrustment with direct cost per minute incurred in the evaluated case. Effect size was computed to assess the differences between groups.RESULTS:
Sixty-three cases (82.9%) were matched; 47.6% (30/63) of matched cases received prospective resident entrustment score ≥ 4. The direct cost per minute increased in three procedures (laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic colectomy, and ventral hernia) with increased intention of granting incremental resident entrustment. Inguinal hernia was the only procedure in which chiefs were entrusted with future independence while the direct cost per minute decreased.CONCLUSIONS:
Our findings demonstrate more time and effort are required (except for inguinal hernia) for residents to be entrusted with increased independence in the future. Faculty and resident development programs are recommended to improve the efficiency of the process of granting incremental operative entrustment to optimize resident training quality and cost of care delivery.Palavras-chave
