Preloaded vs manually loaded IOL delivery systems in cataract surgery in the largest ambulatory surgery center of northwestern China: an efficiency analysis
2020
Overview
Background
To compare the efficiency of preloaded vs manually loaded IOL (P-IOL vs M-IOL, respectively) delivery systems in cataract surgery in the largest ambulatory surgery center of Northwestern China.
Methods
A total of 200 cases were included in this prospective, observational study. Time and motion data were collected in a one- or two-operating room (1-OR or 2-OR, respectively) scenario. A model of the efficiency and revenue implications of introducing a preloaded delivery system for IOLs in cataract surgery was used to estimate the changes in cataract throughput and hospital revenue through transitioning from the M-IOL delivery system to the P-IOL system.
Results
In the 1-OR scenario, the mean total case time was 16.9 min using P-IOL, which was a 7.7% reduction compared with M-IOL (
P
< 0.01). In the 2-OR scenario, the mean total surgeon time was 10.8 min using P-IOL, which was a 7.8% reduction compared with M-IOL (
P
< 0.05). By switching from M-IOL to P-IOL, annual throughput will increase by 5.2% (960 cases) in the 1-OR scenario and 7.7% (1440 cases) in the 2-OR scenario, accompany by an increase in revenue of approx. 284,352 USD in the 1-OR scenario and approx. 426,528 USD in the 2-OR scenario.
Conclusion
This report is the first of a comparison of two IOL delivery systems in China using different settings in the scenario. IOL delivery with preloaded systems is time saving in both the 1-OR scenario and the 2-OR scenario. Moreover, switching from the M-IOL delivery system to the P-IOL system holds potential to increase cataract throughput and hospital revenue.
