ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Assessing patient turnaround times is essential for improving the quality of care in emergency service departments. PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH This study looked at waiting and treatment times, and their associated factors, in the surgical emergency service department at the Souro Sanou National Teaching Hospital (SSNTH) in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso.RESULTS:
This study was carried out on 380 patients with a median age of thirty-eight. The sex ratio was 0.54. In 63.7 percent of cases, the participants lived in urban areas. Most of the patients surveyed were farmers (34.7 percent). The median waiting time for patients was eleven minutes. The nature of the trauma sustained was associated with the waiting time. The median time taken to administer first aid was sixty-three minutes, with the unavailability of medication at the hospital pharmacy cited as a factor contributing to this delay. The median time taken to obtain paraclinical results was 134 minutes and 102 minutes for laboratory tests and scans, respectively. The factor associated with delays in obtaining scan results was the need for surgical intervention. The median waiting time for surgery was 24.3 hours.CONCLUSIONS:
The turnaround times in the SSNTH surgical emergency department are long. For the improvement of patient turnaround times to be possible, an overhaul of the department is in order. In particular, a rapid consultation team needs to be established, and essential drugs for emergency care need to be made readily available.
