Office-based anaesthesia.
Office-based anaesthesia is a young but rapidly growing speciality practice. In patient selection, surgical procedures, and anaesthetic techniques this practice is similar to standard ambulatory surgery; however, the liability and risks of office-based anaesthesia are greater. The anaesthesiologist's major challenge is to insist on patient safety in this developing field.
