Operating rooms can drive big facilities’ cost savings and efficiency improvements through smart, incremental, sustainable practices. Even more important, it’s possible to make these changes while not only maintaining quality patient care but also supporting staff and environmental health.

Though a tiny percentage of a hospital’s total physical footprint, operating rooms have a huge impact on hospital budgets. Operating rooms, on average:

  • Drive up to 60 percent of a hospital’s revenue
  • Are responsible for 40 to 60 percent of the organization’s total supply costs
  • Produce more than 30 percent of a facility’s waste and two-thirds of its regulated medical waste
  • Can consume three to six times more energy per square foot than anywhere else in the facility

Despite a sound business case, one of the greatest challenges for greening the operating room can be convincing the surgical teams, who rely on empirical data and consistencies in structure and process, to consider changes in their respective practices. Practice Greenhealth member hospitals have learned that data, communication, and collaboration across disciplines is crucial to success, especially in the surgical setting.

Practice Greenhealth offers resources to help members develop proactive frameworks for undertaking Greening the OR strategies. Our goal is to provide step-by-step resources that make it simpler for any hospital to design, implement, and measure the success of efforts that reduce energy use, supply costs, and waste generated in the operating room. 

Cleveland Clinic saved more than $4 million in 2017 through Practice Greenhealth’s Greening the OR strategies. Small hospitals can benefit too, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars through similar programs.

Helping the Littlest Hearts

 

October 4, 2016

 
 

In October 1965, the American College of Chest Physicians printed an article titled “Experimental and Clinical Studies of Miniaturized Disc Oxygenator for Infants” Basically, the first proof that a heart bypass machine could be used on newborn infants so that surgeons could fix congenital heart abnormalities. According to the authors, before the development of the infant heart bypass machine, nearly 70% of infants born with theoretically correctable heart defects would only live a very short life. Many died within the first 18 months of their lives.

 

This incredible advance in cardiovascular surgery was developed and manufactured in part by Pemco Incorporated. Pemco has a long history of developing surgical tools and instruments to help physicians treat patients. We are also continuing to work with physicians and engineers to design new items that will aid in robotic surgery, special procedures like the NUSS technique for treating Pectus Excavatum, and special pediatric sized retractors for resternotomy.  

The actual oxygenator circuit build in 1965 is shown filled and primed prior to perfusion.

Reusable Instrument Benefits Continue to Outweigh Disposables

When compared with disposable versions, the Pemco reusable coronary cannulas and hand-held suckers have been proven to be the most cost-effective and environmentally sound solution in the OR. First year savings can easily reach into the thousands of dollars, with a break even point after just 25 procedures. 

 

The following model shows the comparison of the Pemco reusable coronary sinus cardiplegia cannula with an average disposable version.

 

Disposable vs. Reusable

Coronary Cannula Comparison using equivalent style devices for same application with 200 procedures a year.

 

The estimated sterilization (SPD) cost of $1 per Pemco product use includes equipment and personnel cost for 5 minute inspection, pressure rinse, soak with other cannulated instruments.  

 

The estimated disposal cost of $1.25 per disposable product is based on disposal of medical waste, blood contact; metal and plastic.

 

Pricing                      Disposable: $26.00 ea.                       Pemco Reusable: $700.00 ea.  

 

Cost Analysis             Disposable:                                     Pemco Reusable:

200 units X $26=      $5,200               3 units X $700=      $2,100

SPD Cost=                       0                  SPD Cost=                  200

Disposal Cost=              250               Disposal Cost=               0 

 

ONE YEAR Total=     $5,450               ONE YEAR Total=    $2,300 

 

Conclusions              Estimated first year savings of $3,150 based on 200 procedures.

                                 Overall savings of 57% utilizing reusable product in just the FIRST year.

                                 Pemco Reusable cannulas pay for themselves after the first 25 procedures.

 

Similar results have been documented using our Pemco Suction Products. For more information about how your department can benefit from our reusable products, please contact us at info@pemcomed.com.

David Gomez 

Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), CEO/CTO of Infinitus Medical Technologies (iMT), and Patient Positioning Process. Did you know billions of dollars are wasted every year, and to the detriment of the planet as it relates to plastic goods, simply due to a significant design flaw in a long standing medical and surgical use item we use everyday? Most of the surgical products used today are based on un-evolved logic and narrow scope. They look to the objective, but not the performance or function of the device during use to achieve that objective. Oh, it’s finally coming soon. We hope to have the first peak of our amazingly agile and patented surprise in weeks. It will change everything you ever thought you knew about this long-standing product and how it can be used for improved care. It will last years and be a conduit for both wired and wireless power transfer. And while we know it seems hypocritical as we sell single use positioning platforms, we will eventually evolve those in very unique ways. We never rest. Not just for positioning anymore: Infinitusmedical.comActivate link to view larger image.
