A study on cost reduction of OT consumables of major cardiac surgeries

2012-01-01 Management

A list of consumables used in major cardiac surgeries was made and an average of the quantity used was calculated for 5 patients each. The OT consumables include the nursing consumables, anaesthesia consumables and perfusion consumables. The anaesthesia and perfusion consumables are standard and don’t show much variation in quantity used and don’t have alternatives. Thus the study was focused on finding alternates for the nursing consumables which would be of similar quality but priced lower than the existing ones.
