Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Separate Anesthesia Induction Rooms on Multidisciplinary Work Flow in Operating Rooms.

Adjacent induction rooms require extra space, funding, and high maintenance costs, but they do not speed up peri-operative processes. Modern anesthetic techniques allow for fast induction of and emergence from anesthesia. Induction rooms adjacent to the OR are no longer needed if general anesthesia without extended monitoring is used for the majority of cases.
