Optimizando seguridad para cirugía mayor ambulatoria y anestesia fuera de pabellón en niños

Abstract

While Non Operating Room Anesthesia (NORA) and Pediatric Ambulatory Surgery (CMA) are increasing not only in numbers but also in new different procedures, we need to know how to optimize safety so we can have the same quality standards needed in theaters. We need to get involved in patient and procedure selection as well as risk assessment. In CMA such selection seeks for healthy or low risk patients, in NORA the assessment makes the provider look for the best conditions minimizing risks. To be successful in both programs we need to work with high standards and safety while Teamwork is necessary.
