A Solution to After-Hours Fatigue and Surgical Backlog.
Abstract
After-hours surgery represents a novel solution that can effectively combat surgical
fatigue of care teams in addition to addressing the high volume of surgical backlog
associated with the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic. This commentary seeks
to rationalize how successful employment of a dedicated after-hours surgical team
and protocol has tremendous potential for increased efficiency while maintaining good
surgical outcomes in patients.
