Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how different techniques, specifically monitored anesthesia care (MAC) and the use of a second peripheral intravenous catheter (PIV), affect non-operative times during parathyroid surgery.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of surgeries performed between 2013 and 2016, comparing operating room time measurements such as pre-incision and post-closure times.
- Results showed that MAC led to significantly shorter pre-incision, post-closure, and total operative times compared to general anesthesia, and that using a second PIV also reduced these times.
