Abstract:
More complex methods of outpatient anesthesia, including I.V. sedation and general anesthesia, have become commonplace. Patient selection and preoperative evaluation are discussed, as well as the choice of who will deliver anesthesia. Appropriate outpatient facilities and monitoring are reviewed. The authors' favorite methods of anesthesia, caveats, and suggestions are presented, as well as prevention and treatment of anesthesia problems and emergencies.
