Abstract:
As ambulatory surgery has become increasingly prominent among patients with higher comorbidity burdens and a wider range of procedures, the challenge of safe airway management has become paramount and is dependent upon several components: (1) selecting patients who are appropriate for a given ambulatory setting, (2) systematically assessing patients who present for ambulatory anesthesia, (3) choosing an airway management strategy that is optimal for the patient and procedure, and (4) creating strong interprofessional teams and engineering safe ambulatory environments to improve outcomes of unanticipated airway emergencies.
