These metrics reflect our continued commitment to transparency, collaboration, and data-driven improvement across cardiac surgery programs statewide.

🔍 What’s included:

1. Operating Room Time (Total, Surgery, and Non-Surgery)

2. Performance across low, medium, and high-risk patient populations

3. Benchmarking across hospitals and program volumes

4. Insights from over 10,000+ CABG cases 

   
   

Key Takeaways:

1. Average Total OR Time: 5:24 hours

2. Average Surgery Time: 4:06 hours
