Best/Worst Time to Schedule Surgery Answer: Best Is Morning; Worst Is Midafternoon Going under the knife is usually a stressful affair, but patients can go into the operating room with a little bit of added assurance if their surgeries are scheduled before noon. A Duke University study published in Quality and Safety in Healthcare in 2006 found that those undergoing surgery between 9 a.m. and noon had the lowest incidence of anesthetic-related complications. Surgery starting between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. is the worst for anesthetic-related complications, although researchers noted that such complications were very seldom life-threatening. Adverse events were usually prolonged sedation, wound infection, nausea and vomiting. Why would time of day affect this? Researchers speculated that varying degrees of pain tolerance in the patient throughout the day or staff fatigue could be responsible.
