Shapiro FE, Punwani N, Rosenberg NM, et al. Office-Based Anesthesia. Anesth Analg. 2014;119(2):276-285. doi:10.1213/ane.0000000000000313.
Office-based anesthesia has become more widely performed, despite a paucity of studies evaluating mortality and morbidity associated with the practice. This review proposes that increased use of office-based anesthesia will result in improved techniques and anesthetics for the ambulatory environment, enhancing safety and informing regulations for such procedures.
