    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Oral Surgery

    Background:

    • Outpatient anesthesia requires techniques balancing safety, efficiency, and patient recovery.
    • Spontaneous ventilation during airway surgery presents unique anesthetic challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a general anesthesia technique for outpatient oral surgery.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this technique in a large patient cohort.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a mixture of nitrous oxide, oxygen, and enflurane.
    • Employed spontaneous ventilation via a Bain anesthetic circuit.
    • Focused on patient selection, airway management, vital sign monitoring, and rapid recovery.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully managed over 500 outpatient cases, including impacted teeth removal, extractions, alveoloplasty, cyst enucleation, and benign tumor excision.
