Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Ambulatory Surgery

Background:

  • General anesthesia is the predominant anesthetic method for ambulatory surgery, favored by patients for reduced anxiety.
  • Recent advancements in short-acting anesthetic agents have significantly improved safety and predictability for outpatient procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state and future prospects of general anesthesia in ambulatory surgery.
  • To highlight the impact of new anesthetic agents and airway management techniques on outpatient care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent literature on general anesthesia for ambulatory surgery.
  • Discussion of anesthetic agents, patient preparation, and airway management.

Main Results:

  • Modern general anesthesia offers rapid and complete recovery with minimal adverse effects.
