Abstract

and extended hospital stays. Non-serious complications included formation of a hematoma, discoloration, oozing, swelling, or bleeding at the entry site. P values < 0.05 were considered significant. Results: An independent T-test indicated a significant (p < .001) increase in the mean percentage in the number of reused SUDs at BBH. There was no difference in the number of complications that developed after surgery between the hospitals, despite the significant difference in the number of SUDs per procedure. When analyzing length of stay, the results showed significant (p < .001) increase in the average mean stay for patients in BBH which may be attributed to the initial health status of patients. No significant differences were found between hospitals in the severity of complications was analyzed (serious vs. non-serious). Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between the reuse of single use medical devices and adverse outcomes for PTCA at either of the two hospitals in which the study took place. Funding: No funding listed. Abstract #: 02NCD005
