May support ambulatory anaesthesia expansion amid constraints; leaves open rigorous safety validation in diverse settings.
Ambulatory anesthesia requires careful patient selection, appropriate pre-anesthetic evaluation, and tailored anesthetic techniques (such as short-acting spinal or regional blocks) to ensure safe recovery and discharge.
SS Harsoor (2010) conducted a review in Ambulatory surgery. Ambulatory anesthesia vs. Inpatient anesthesia was evaluated. Ambulatory anesthesia offers cost savings of 25–75% compared to inpatient procedures, requiring careful patient selection, tailored anesthetic techniques, and structured discharge planning.
