Anesthesia Outside the Operating Room, 2e by

Core Competencies for Adult Day Surgery by
This document, ‘Core Competencies for Adult Day Surgery’ is the first in a series of three to be published, the following two will address core competencies for paediatric day surgery and specialist competencies for day surgery. Each will set recommendations for a minimum standard necessary to maximise outcomes for patient safety and experience of their day surgery care, from the point of admission to discharge. The adult core competencies are pertinent to members of the day surgery team with no experience of or following a long absence from day surgery practice to develop or refresh their competencies for management of patients in this setting. The intention is for these criteria to be used as a reference for workbook competency documents, whether they are already in place or are in development. They apply irrespective of the hospital day surgery model of care and across both the public and private healthcare sectors. Competencies for preoperative assessment are not included as frameworks are available elsewhere
Manual of Office-Based Anesthesia Procedures by

National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards: Guide for Day Procedure Services by
This guide relates to the second edition of the NSQHS Standards, released in November 2017. The key tasks, strategies, and use of examples of evidence and resources provided in this guide are not mandatory. Day procedure services can choose improvement strategies that are specific to their local context. These strategies should be meaningful, useful and relevant to the organisation’s governance, structure, workforce and consumers. Day procedure services that are part of a corporate group may need to refer to the implementation strategies recommended by the group’s governing body or management. This guide includes examples of the kind of evidence a day procedure service may use to show that it meets each of the actions required for the NSQHS Standards. It is not expected that day procedure services will have all the listed examples of evidence in place. Day procedure services vary in size and structure, and will have different ways of developing and presenting evidence.
Non-Operating Room Anesthesia by
The demand for anesthesiologists outside of the operating room continues to grow as the number of minimally invasive procedures proliferates and the complexity of diagnostic procedures undertaken outside of the OR increase. Non-Operating Room Anesthesia is an easy-to-access, highly visual reference that facilitates an in-depth understanding of NORA procedures and protocols needed to minimize risk and complications and to maximize growth opportunities. "In this book, Drs. Mark Weiss and Lee Fleisher have provided an important tool to address both the challenges and opportunities for anesthesiologists in providing non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) care."
Office-Based Maxillofacial Surgical Procedures: A Step-by-step Approach by
This book is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to maxillofacial surgical procedures typically performed in an office setting. It comprises three sections, the first of which provides an overview of general and basic perioperative topics such as medical and facial assessment, laboratory indications, local anesthesia, and oral and parenteral sedation. In the second section, a wide range of dentoalveolar procedures are described in detail. The final section is devoted to maxillofacial cosmetic procedures. Here, readers will find stepwise guidance on scar revision, chemical peel, laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, use of neuromodulators and fillers, neck procedures, blepharoplasty, and hair transplant surgery. The book is written by acknowledged experts and is multi-institutional and multispecialty based. It will meet the needs of multiple surgical professionals, including oral and maxillofacial surgeons, plastic surgeons, otolaryngologists, cosmetic surgeons, dentists, and medical and dental students. Health care providers will also be able to use the book as a resource to expand their knowledge on common maxillofacial surgical procedures.

Outpatient Hip and Knee Replacement: Implementation and Essential Techniques by
Outpatient surgery and early discharge is the hottest topic in hip and knee arthroplasty and will continue to be in the coming years: It is expected that over 50% of all hip and knee arthroplasties will be performed in the outpatient setting by 2026. Currently, a central text that encompasses all of the unique aspects of performing hip and knee arthroplasty in the outpatient setting does not exist. Furthermore, as surgeons across the US and abroad are incentivized and encouraged by government and commercial payors, as well as patients, to perform these surgical procedures in the outpatient setting, the educational material must be available to disseminate the unique perioperative and surgical strategies and techniques accordingly. This book is unique in that it will address all the essential elements and considerations to promote surgeon success in this endeavor and enhance patient safety through the transition of hip and knee arthroplasty into the outpatient setting, as well as how to implement such a program into practice. Topics discussed include patient selection, medical optimization and risk management, anesthetic surgical techniques, pain management protocols, and postoperative physical therapy. Later chapters cover practical issues surrounding outcome metrics, discharge criteria, minimizing patient readmissions, financial considerations, and additional implications for hospitals, ASCs and payers. Filling a glaring gap in the literature on this popular new topic, Outpatient Joint Replacement is an ideal resource for orthopedic surgeons, notably hip and knee specialists, as well as residents, fellows and supporting clinical staff.
