Disease relevance of Ambulatory Surgical Procedures

• The dose-response relationship of ondansetron in preventing postoperative emesis in pediatric patients undergoing ambulatory surgery [1].
• Betamethasone reduces postoperative pain and nausea after ambulatory surgery [2].
• In conclusion, desflurane appears to have few adverse effects on recovery after ambulatory surgery, but nausea and emesis were lower with propofol [3].
• In two unpremedicated patients awaiting day surgery an acute pre-operative attack of migraine was successfully terminated by the injection of sumatriptan, allowing surgery to proceed uneventfully under general anaesthesia without postoperative complications [4].
• IMPLICATIONS: A vital capacity induction with sevoflurane produced a faster loss of consciousness and had side effects, recovery times, and patient satisfaction similar to that of a propofol induction in adults undergoing ambulatory surgery [5].

Psychiatry related information on Ambulatory Surgical Procedures

• BACKGROUND: During ambulatory surgery, barbiturates, such as thiopental, may impair psychomotor performance several hours after administration [6].
• Parents help ease separation anxiety in ASC (ambulatory surgery center) [7].

High impact information on Ambulatory Surgical Procedures

• Infection and allergy incidence in ambulatory surgery patients using white petrolatum vs bacitracin ointment. A randomized controlled trial [8].
• CONCLUSIONS: White petrolatum is a safe, effective wound care ointment for ambulatory surgery [8].
• CONCLUSION: Both intranasal midazolam and sufentanil provide rapid, safe, and effective sedation in small children before anesthesia for ambulatory surgery [9].
• Our purpose was thus to analyze the plasma levels of melatonin before and during midazolam or sodium thiopental anesthesia in children subjected to ambulatory surgical procedures [10].
• Nurse-administered propofol sedation without anesthesia specialists in 9152 endoscopic cases in an ambulatory surgery center [11].

Chemical compound and disease context of Ambulatory Surgical Procedures

• RESULTS: The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was not different in the postanesthesia care unit, but in the ambulatory surgery unit it was significantly lower for alfentanil compared with fentanyl and sufentanil (12, 34, and 35%, respectively P < 0.005) [12].
• Sevoflurane titration using bispectral index decreases postoperative vomiting in phase II recovery after ambulatory surgery [13].
• Low-dose droperidol reduces postoperative vomiting in paediatric day surgery [14].
• Five risk factors-pre-operative CBZ dose, fentanyl dose, surgery day CBZ concentration, body weight, and blood loss-were related to post-operative CBZ concentrations [15].
• OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of i.v. ketorolac and fentanyl for moderate to severe postoperative pain in patients undergoing elective surgery in an ambulatory surgery unit [16].

Biological context of Ambulatory Surgical Procedures

• We have studied the effects of nitrous oxide on the auditory evoked response index (AAI-index) derived from the A-line monitoring device during sevoflurane anaesthesia in 21 patients undergoing minor ambulatory surgery [17].
• Rapid recovery of spontaneous baroreflex after sevoflurane anesthesia in ambulatory surgery [18].
• Inhalation anaesthesia is cost-effective for ambulatory surgery: a clinical comparison with propofol during elective knee arthroscopy [19].
• We have studied the antiemetic efficacy of droperidol alone, and in combination with metoclopramide in first trimester termination of pregnancy in day surgery [20].

Associations of Ambulatory Surgical Procedures with chemical compounds

• We conclude that the rapid and complete recovery makes propofol a suitable anesthetic for patients undergoing brief ambulatory surgery [21].
• Induction, recovery, and safety characteristics of sevoflurane in children undergoing ambulatory surgery. A comparison with halothane [22].
• The mean decrease in time to hospital discharge after ambulatory surgery when desflurane was used instead of propofol also was examined [23].
• Effect of antiemetic therapy on recovery and hospital discharge time. A double-blind assessment of ondansetron, droperidol, and placebo in pediatric patients undergoing ambulatory surgery [24].
• Oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate for preanesthetic medication of pediatric day surgery patients with and without droperidol as a prophylactic anti-emetic [25].

Gene context of Ambulatory Surgical Procedures

• PURPOSE: Urinary retention in common benign anal surgery is a burden to ambulatory surgery [26].
• II. Fast-tracking in day surgery. Is your journey to the recovery room really necessary [27]?
• METHODS: We conducted a randomized, stratified, double-blind placebo-controlled trial to examine the incidence of PONV in women undergoing elective laparoscopic tubal ligation in the day surgery setting [28].
• Peters, M.D., Florida Ad Hoc Commission on Patient Safety representative; Robert Singer, M.D., American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities representative; Thomas Ray Stevenson, M.D., American College of Surgeons representative; Rebecca S [29].
• None of the patients had vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR) at BA; five with grade III or IV VUR had undergone endoscopic correction in a day-surgery procedure using a suburethral collagen injection 1-3 weeks before BA [30].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Ambulatory Surgical Procedures

• BACKGROUND: Spinal anesthesia with lidocaine is ideal for ambulatory surgery because of its short duration of action [31].
• Evaluation of morphine versus fentanyl for postoperative analgesia after ambulatory surgical procedures [32].
• The unique pharmacokinetic properties of remifentanil make it a potentially useful adjuvant during general anesthesia for ambulatory surgery [33].
• Premedication before day surgery. A double-blind comparison of diazepam and placebo [34].
• SETTING: Free-standing day-surgery center, Chatswood, Australia. METHODS: After standard phacoemulsification, an SI-40NB IOL (Allergan) was implanted using the Unfolder [35].
