She explained that issues like not eating the whole day, stress of waiting for the surgery, might also be of importance. It was also bought to notice that the late afternoon is generally the time when the anaesthetic teams in the hospital change shifts and that generally the human body would go through a drop in its natural circadian rhythm, which regulates sleep, brain wave activity and other bodily functions.

The researchers also stated that they were planning to conduct another study to compare steps in the delivery of care for patients having surgery during two time periods - 9am to noon and 3pm to 6pm.

Professor Alistair Chambers, honorary secretary of the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, had explained that the findings would need to be replicated, and further pointed out that the working hours and procedures could differ between hospitals and countries. He stated that if other studies support the findings, the factors causing the difference would also need to be identified. He concluded, “But it is interesting. It perhaps does mean that we should caution against suggesting that we go to round-the-clock operating to get better use of operating theatres.”
