Disturbing Factors in the Operating Room

Observation of disturbing factors in the operating room and comparison between day and night shift. The investigators have chosen to observe kidney transplantations, since this type of operation has the same priority during day and night. Stress levels of surgeons will be measured using the HealthPatch.

Treatment and study plan

HealthPatch

Device

Smart patch that is able to measure stress real time using an algorithm between HR and HRV

Primary outcomes

  1. Factors that are disturbing for vascular surgeons during kidney transplantations

    Time frame: 2 hours

    One investigator will report all factors that potentially disturb the vascular surgeon during kidney transplantation. Nature and severity of the disturbing factors will be reported, such as opening and closing of doors, beepers. For this, the investigators will use an observational tool for assessing surgical flow disruptions (Parker SE, et al. Development and evaluation of an observational tool for assessing surgical flow disruptions and their impact on surgical performance. World J Surg 2010; 34(2): 353-361)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Stress levels

    Time frame: 2 hours

    Stress levels, measured by the HealthPatch

  2. State Trait Anxiety Inventory

    Time frame: 5 minutes

    STAI; anxiety questionnaire
