Article Description

This retrospective study aimed to compare the accuracy of the pediatric dental surgeon’s estimated operative times for dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia (DRGA) in pediatric patients. This study population included 674 pediatric patients who underwent DRGA at the study facility between January 2022 and December 2022, using convenience sampling to select patients who met our inclusion criteria. Data were collected from electronic medical and anesthesia records based on several factors, including patient-related factors such as age and gender, surgeon-related factors such as rank and experience, and anesthesia-related factors such as induction and recovery time (in minutes). This study highlights a significant difference between the surgeon’s estimated time (SET) and actual operative time (AOT) for pediatric DRGA procedures, with a mean difference of 19.28 min (SD = 43.17, p < 0.0001), indicating a tendency for surgeons to overestimate surgery time. Surgical procedure time was the strongest predictor of this discrepancy, with an R square value of 0.427 and a significant p-value of 0.000. Experience with surgeons, anesthesia induction, and recovery time were also significant predictors. Meanwhile, age, gender, and rank of surgeons did not significantly predict the difference between SET and AOT. Therefore, the study suggests that surgeons should adjust their estimates for pediatric DRGA procedures, specifically emphasizing a more accurate estimation of surgery time, to ensure adequate resource allocation and patient outcomes.
