11. A quality improvement analysis at our institution found that during the three-month period after implementation of the checklist in 2009, 7,098 operations were performed. For the same three months in 2006, 6,861 operations were performed. In terms of procedure length-defined as the time between when the patient entered the operating room and left it-the mean was 161.9 minutes in 2006, compared to 162.3 minutes in 2009 (p = 0:13).
