These scenarios require an environment of psychological safety - the ability to ask for help, admit mistakes, and be respectfully forthright with unpopular beliefs without the fear of being ostracized or ignored.

The proportion of ambulatory, nonoperating room (NORA), and office-based surgical cases continues to rise; however, the requirements for trainees in these settings have remained static. The rapid evolution of the field combined with a limited workforce also makes continuing education essential, and we discuss the current and future states of ambulatory anesthesia education.Recent findings: Although numerous resources are available across an array of platforms to foster both trainee education and continuing education for practicing anesthesiologists, there is a paucity of current literature evaluating the impact of new curricula developed specifically for ambulatory, NORA, or office-based anesthesiology (OBA).Summary: We begin with an appraisal of the current state of ambulatory anesthesiology training and evaluate the gap between current graduate medical education and trends in ambulatory surgery.

As care expands in ambulatory surgery center, so does the complexity of cases and patients cared for in these centers, which may pose a risk for patient safety. Anesthesiologists should lead multidisciplinary teams to screen for appropriate patients and procedures.Recent findings: Patient considerations go beyond physical status and include psychosocial factors. Ensuring patients understand preoperative instructions is crucial to decrease case cancellation rates and facilitate efficiency. Pediatric patients require special considerations including extra attention to preprocedure and postoperative care and instructions, PALS-certified staff, pediatric equipment and medications, as well as heightened awareness of respiratory complications.Summary: Procedural concerns start with the capabilities of the facility such as equipment, pharmacy, and staffing for each phase of care. However, nuances such as patient throughput in a given day, emergency preparedness, and after-hours staffing will affect both patient safety and staff morale.

This review also discusses the impact of technological advancements and explores future directions for expanding the scope of SDD in more complex cardiac procedures.Recent findings: Recent studies have demonstrated that SDD after PCI is both well tolerated and effective for appropriately selected patients, with outcomes comparable with those of patients who remain hospitalized overnight. Advancements in PCI technology, including improved stent designs, smaller sheath sizes, and the adoption of the transradial approach, have significantly enhanced the feasibility of SDD. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways, adapted for ambulatory settings, further improve patient safety, particularly as more complex procedures are attempted. However, challenges remain in determining SDD eligibility, particularly in settings with limited emergency care capabilities.Summary: SDD is a viable and cost-effective option for low-risk patients undergoing PCI and other ambulatory cardiac procedures. The successful implementation of SDD requires careful patient selection, adherence to standardized protocols, and vigilant postprocedural monitoring. Future research should focus on refining patient selection tools, expanding the scope of SDD to include more complex procedures, and enhancing postdischarge monitoring through advanced technologies. Multidisciplinary collaboration and ongoing education are essential to support the well tolerated and effective adoption of SDD in ambulatory cardiac care.","PeriodicalId":50609,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Anesthesiology","volume":" ","pages":"638-643"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142331712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By summarizing the variation in language and terminology from state to state, this review highlights the inconsistencies and gaps in dental regulations. The review also highlights the limited specific guidance on the permit process for physicians administering dental anesthesia.Summary: By comparing dental anesthesia regulations and guidelines across all U.S. states and the EU, the review aims to offer practical guidelines for regulators to institute an oversight process that is fair to physician anesthesiologists and does not impede their ability to practice in the dental office setting.

Intraoperative management strategies, including the preference for regional anesthesia and careful monitoring of neuromuscular blockade, have been shown to mitigate risks.

Despite their benefits in reducing acute postsurgical pain, they are also associated with risks ranging from mild (e.g., pruritis, constipation, nausea) to potentially catastrophic (e.g. opioid-induced ventilatory impairment, respiratory depression, death). Overprescribing of opioids can lead to opioid diversion and drug driving. In this review, we will discuss opioid-related harm and what strategies can be used perioperatively to mitigate this harm.
