This editorial discusses the recent study conducted by Macias et al., revealing that anesthesiologists' case volume history has only a marginal impact on improving operating room efficiency, resulting in minimal clinical significance. The idea that a specific anesthesia team or type of anesthesia could enhance productivity has been previously investigated, yielding similar conclusions. Although the study primarily focuses on the time from patient arrival to the completion of anesthesia induction, excluding the latter part of anesthesia-controlled time, Macias et al. have made a valuable contribution by challenging the prevalent notion that less experienced anesthesiologists adversely affect operating room efficiency.
