Private practice at small community hospital. We do these very rarely, but lately we have had a couple and it swallows an entire OR and anesthesia team for many hours. We have one anesthesiologist on call for OR addons/emergencies, and another for OB. We don't like having the first call anesthesiologist tied up for hours in case a true emergency comes in. Even though we have a second call, we kind of reserve them for OB.
Do we even have to staff these procurement cases? If so, are we there for the entire duration? Just wondering what other places do.
