Ambulatory Anesthesia

Ambulatory Anesthesia

Ambulatory anesthesia is designed for surgical procedures that do not require overnight hospitalization, enabling faster recovery and early discharge. It involves the use of general, regional, local, and sedation anesthesia, similar to those used in traditional operating rooms. The rise of minimally invasive techniques and short-acting anesthetics has made ambulatory surgery increasingly popular, benefiting patients, healthcare providers, and hospitals by reducing costs and enhancing efficiency. However, as the scope of ambulatory procedures expands to include more complex surgeries and patients with multiple comorbidities, anesthesiologists must carefully assess patient selection, surgical techniques, anesthetic approaches, and postoperative management to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.
