Background information 2000: rapport van the American National Academy of Medicine: - 98 000 doden jaarlijks < medische fouten - Chirurgische complicaties: 2e meest voorkomende oorzaak (Kohn, et al: To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System. National Academy Press) Sindsdien veel onderzoek naar de verbanden tussen slaapdeprivatie en medische fouten Voor heelkunde specifiek: geen eenduidig verband tussen slaapdeprivatie en slechtere outcome in morbiditeit en mortaliteit Toegenomen mortaliteit bij niet electieve operaties uitgevoerd s nachts (Pearse, et al: Mortality after surgery in Europe: a 7 day cohort study. The Lancet 2012; 380: 1059-65)
Background information Transplantaties: specifieke heelkunde 1. Ernstige onderliggende pathologie -> reeds hoger perioperatief risico 2. Non-electieve procedures -> onvoorspelbare start heelkunde Risico bij uitstel van transplantaties Kwaliteit van donororgaan in gedrang door toegenomen risico op cardiocirculatoire instabilisatie van donor Interferentie met electieve operatie-programma Reservatie van ICU bedden en dus andere opnames blokkeren Negeren van wens van familie Toegenomen ischemie tijden als recipient heelkunde wordt uitgesteld
Hypothesis Is er een verband tussen startuur van transplantatie-chirurgie en outcome van de patiënt?

Conclusion De resultaten zijn inconclusief In de meerderheid van studies kon er geen verslechtering van outcome bij studies uitgevoerd tijdens de nacht of in het weekend Mogelijke verklaringen hiervoor: I. Gespecialiseerde transplant teams tijdens wachten II. Overdag mogelijks meer training van jonge chirurgen en residenten III. Goede follow-up programma s pre-operatief IV. Operatie tijd wordt bepaald door beschikbaarheid van donor orgaan V. Compensatie door meer ICU-opnames VI. Rustigere omgeving, minder onderbrekingen s nachts, fysiologische verandering => Omdat het onmogelijk is om de beschikbaarheid van een donor orgaan te voorspellen, blijft transplantatie-heelkunde na de kantoor -uren een veilige optie
