Scheduling of Anaesthesia Operations in Operating Rooms [PDF]

Healthcare, 2021
This paper considers scheduling of surgical operations across multiple operating rooms subject to the limited availability of anaesthetists. The objective is to construct a feasible operations schedule that has the minimum makespan, i.e., the completion time of all operations.

Scheduling of Operations in Quantum Compiler [PDF]

2020 IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE), 2020
When scheduling quantum operations, a shorter overall execution time of the resulting schedule yields a better throughput and higher fidelity output. In this paper, we demonstrate that quantum operation scheduling can be interpreted as a special type of job-shop problem.

Operating Theatre Planning and Scheduling [PDF]

, 2011
In this chapter we present a number of approaches to operating theatre planning and scheduling. We organize these approaches hierarchically which serves to illustrate the breadth of problems confronted by researchers. At each hierarchicalplanning level we describe common problems, solution approaches and results from studies at partner hospitals.

Operating room scheduling data base analysis for scheduling [PDF]

Journal of Medical Systems, 1988
A methodology to determine and maintain the schedule times used in a computer-based OR Scheduling System is presented. State-of-the-art equations to be used for different scheduling situations are presented and discussed with the attendant data base reduction methodology to provide the scheduling parameters.

Operating Room Scheduling in Teaching Hospitals [PDF]

Advances in Operations Research, 2012
Operating room scheduling is an important operational problem in most hospitals. In this paper, a novel mixed integer programming (MIP) model is presented for minimizing Cmax and operating room idle times in hospitals. Using this model, we can determine the allocation of resources including operating rooms, surgeons, and assistant surgeons to surgeries,

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Longitudinal genome‐wide aneuploidy measurements in circulating cell‐free DNA to predict lack of benefit from pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic urothelial cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Many patients with urothelial cancer do not benefit from treatment with pembrolizumab, while at risk of severe side effects. Changes in the levels of circulating tumor DNA early during treatment, measured by a simple and affordable assay that can be easily implemented in the clinic, can be used as a prognostic tool to identify these patients.
