Surgical demands include a large backlog of surgical cases, strain on available resources, and the need for additional measures to prevent exposure. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the feasibility, duration, adverse events, and potential gains associated with using a Turbett Sterilization Pod (TSP) for total joint replacements.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A multidisciplinary team used the Plan\u2013Do\u2013Study\u2013Act model to guide this project. A time\u2013motion study was completed in the operating room (OR) to measure the average time required to set up surgical instrumentation for total joint replacement cases that required 12 or more instrument trays. We compared the amount of time it took to complete the setting up of instrumentation using the traditional method versus the TSP method. The traditional method consisted of unwrapping each surgical tray, checking for holes in the blue wrapper, and placing the tray on the back table. In the case of the TSP, the door of the pod was opened, and the instrument trays were transferred directly to the back table. We measured the time the staff took to perform the task using each of these methods.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>When compared to the traditional method, the use of the TSP resulted in improved turnover time, decreased room setup time, reduced environmental waste, and eliminated both the effect of damage to wrappers and the time previously spent wrapping surgical trays.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The TSP minimizes the time needed by the staff to set up an OR suite for a total joint replacement, therefore permitting them to focus more on direct patient care. This time improvement suggests that all surgical specialties, including those requiring greater than 12 traditional instrument sets, may experience reduced turnover time between cases. The use of the TSP is one means to help rectify the OR backlog brought on by COVID-19.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usab214","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,1]],"date-time":"2021-09-01T15:11:51Z","timestamp":1630509111000},"page":"35-39","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Reducing Setup and Turnover Times in the OR With an Innovative Sterilization Container: Implications for the COVID-19 Era Military Medicine"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"186","author":[{"given":"David F","family":"Bradley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Graduate School of Nursing, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenneth","family":"Romito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Perioperative Services, Tripler Army Medical Center, Honolulu, HI 96859, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Dockery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Perioperative Services, Brooke Army Medical Center, JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lance","family":"Taylor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Perioperative Services, Defense Health Agency, Falls Church, VA 22042, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"ONeel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Perioperative Services, Brooke Army Medical Center, JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jose","family":"Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Graduate School of Nursing, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura A","family":"Talbot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, College of Medicine, Memphis, TN 38163, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021090210431215000_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"168","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2020.05.022","article-title":"Impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on surgical practice -
