Ambulatory, office-based anesthesia (OBA) has experienced an exponential growth in the last decade, and is popular among patients and health care providers alike. About 17% to 24% of all elective ambulatory procedures in the United States are currently being performed in an office-based setting. Special considerations must be made when comparing OBA to a hospital setting, particularly with respect to facility and environment, administration, and accreditation. Increasing regulation will ensure that patient safety remains the primary focus. In the meantime, the anesthesia provider must take adequate steps to ensure that the quality of care in OBA is comparable to that in a hospital.
门诊手术麻醉（OBA）在过去十年中呈指数级增长，并且在患者和医疗服务提供者中都很受欢迎。目前，美国所有择期门诊手术中约有17%至24%是在门诊环境中进行的。将门诊手术麻醉与医院环境进行比较时，必须进行特殊考虑，特别是在设施和环境、管理以及认证方面。加强监管将确保患者安全仍是首要重点。与此同时，麻醉提供者必须采取适当措施，以确保门诊手术麻醉的护理质量与医院相当。
